Review summary

This was my first cruise and I was a little reluctant to go on a 7 night cruise for my first time. I thought I would get tired of the ship but...... There was SO MUCH to do! There were activities from 7am until 3am-shows, bars, swimming pools, dance parties, game shows.....All I can say is WOW! Even if we had decided to not get off the ship at any ports, we still would have had a wonderful time and tons to do. Everyone was super friendly and the ship was very clean in addition to beautiful. The food was really good and you could get just about anything you wanted to eat anytime. If you happen to overindulge and feel guilty about it, they even had a fitness center and a running/walking track you could use to burn off the extra calories:) In a nutshell, I am looking forward to going again sometime in the future!

Food and Dining

Our main dining room waiters Jose and Aries were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure that our dining experiences were wonderful.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We took advantage of ever show that we could. Where else could you see all-inclusive musicals, diving shows, skating shows, comedians, game shows that had audience participation and even an Elvis impersonator in one place? The activities director and his crew were AMAZING. It is hard for us to decide what we liked the most.

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. A special shout-out goes to our dining room waiters- Jose and Aries. They made our dining room experience very memorable with tricks and special treats.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was beautiful and extremely clean. There was a person standing outside every dining area with hand-sanitizer making sure everyone was using good hand hygiene. We loved the 'Washy Washy' Lady who greeted all of us guests outside our dining room with zany hats and make-up. She really added to our experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was much roomier than we expected and decorated tastefully. The beds were super comfy!

Ship tip

Make your reservations for your dining room every evening. That way you don't have to wait in line.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
The port was not very pretty and the parts of Nassau that we saw seemed dirty. Everyone was friendly but wanted to sell us something. We took a taxi over to Paradise Island and visited the aquarium at the Atlantis Resort. That was a great experience and we enjoyed it very much.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
It was a very rainy day in Cozumel, so we did not do any excursions. We visited Senior Frogs which was fun but very crowded.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We did a zip-line excursion that we booked on our own through a separate website. We also got to play with monkeys, sloths and then go to the beach. The water and the beach was absolutely beautiful.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
As far as the actual ports go, this one was the prettiest. It was very clean and there was a lot to see. We just walked around and enjoyed the scenery. There was a large pool there that you could use if you chose that was free. It was very clean and well kept.

We loved that there was so much to do if you wanted to, and lots of places to relax if you didn't. Great ship.

Glad you took advantage of everything. Anyone who doesn't have fun and a full day on an Oasis ship is dead

Glad you had an awesome experience. I had many of the same worries as you did. Must say I thought incorrectly as well.
