Review summary

I have been on the Oasis the Harmony and the Allure all in the last four months Harmony is the newest and was definitely the best Oasis was next, the Allure could use some spiffing up although it is still a nice ship. This was my 34th cruise

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffets seemed like leftovers from other nights. No omelet stations. Was not a fan of the Windjammer. Drinks are good. Ask for premium liquor though or you get house.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There are three pools which is nice because they were extremely crowded.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment is hands-down the best!! I’ve recently been on the Oasis, Allure, Harmony all Royal Caribbean large ships. They have full musical plays. Saw Grease and Mama Mia both AMAZING!!!

Children's Programs

Didn’t put my granddaughter in the children’s program

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
American icon restaurant we had Sudhan and Joseph table 146 they are AMAZING!!! So caring and attentive to all your needs. If you tell them you were trying to make a show they move you through your meal so fast you will never be late for a show. Sudhan is wonderful with children he took great care of my 2 yr old granddaughter to be sure she had everything she needed to sit through the meal. Can’t say enough about these two they need to be promoted however it will be unfortunate for the guests if they lose them to a higher position

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a balcony cabin it is of course still small but having access to the outside makes it less claustrophobic The small showers are the real problems wish they were a little bigger.

Ship tip

If you’re looking for omelettes they only make them at the wipeout café which has outdoor seating If you miss a show you can almost always get in on standby

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Love the private island, your ship card works on the island so if you have a drink card you still get your drinks included, they serve food But face style but beware of all the flies but face style but beware of all the flies. One bad thing about this island is they have some thing in the water which some people call Sea Lice or some people call it tiny jellyfish, if you are not wearing a bikini be ware. They get trapped under your bathing suit and they bite you it itches like crazy it’s horrible.

Falmouth, Jamaica

3 out of 5
I’ve been here so many times I didn’t even get off the ship this time. I do not like how aggressive the people are on the island.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
You can swim right where you get off the ship in front of bubba gumps, the water feels amazing it’s clear and for a good tip they give you the snorkel equipment and everything you need. Nice clean port nice shopping area

Any noise issues being on the 14th floor? Noise above from upper deck? Kids area noises?

If you have been on so many cruises why are none listed? I heard there are ma y places for omelettes. We will be on the Allure in November. Can't wait!
