Review summary

Very disappointed with the availability of the soda dispensers. Only one after hours. The rooms were way too small base on other cruises we took. No omelet station which was disappointing. No late hours eating areas...except for Pizza. The pools were too over crowded. The adult pool was way too small to accommodate the adults in that area. Drinks were way too expensive compared to other cruises. The service in all the areas was great! Getting off the ship was the easiest we have ever experienced. The dinners were the best I have ever had.

OK...I have seen better on other ships. The Ice show was good. The comedy was pretty good except the same show was given all the time. Movie night was good. Piano Bar was pretty good. Juggler was just OK.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Good layout. Everything seem very clean. The adult pool was always cloudy due to the amount of people and their sunscreen coming off.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The smallest cabin I have had on any cruise. I cruise about once per year.

Ship tip

If you like alot of people - it's perfect. I would reconsider the soda package since there was but one available (by the pizza stop) most of the evening. Dinner was fabulous.

On my first cruise I did not realize they had soda across the ship and went back and forth but like someone else mentioned you can get it everywhere. In some places they have cans as well which I prefer over the fountain. I believe the buffet had cans.

Just a note for next cruise, if you have the soda package you can get soda, water at ANY venue or bar that has them. You don't need that cup they give you either, I never use it. Just walk up to any bar or eatery, show them your sea pass and they'll give you all the soda, water you want! Skip that blasted machine!

Ive been on all of the Oasis class ships, and ALL have more than one Omelete bar for breakfast, Windjammer, Solarium Bistro, and Sports deck restaraunt. As well as the MDR has omeletes as well. As for rooms... unless you booked the cheapest interior cabin, Ive found the Oasis class ships to have some of the biggest cabins and balconys out of any standard class cabins.
