Review summary

For my first Oasis Class experience, I wasn’t impressed. The shows and the Coastal Kitchen dining, was the highlight. Central Park and the Boardwalk were also very nice.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was a breeze. I had 10:30 am check-in but my son and I were in a suite.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Most of the staff that I encountered, appeared to be bothered by me. I purchased the DBP, and tip $1-$2 (I take $2 bills on cruises) for each drink. The first day I thought ok maybe I’m just being overly sensitive. The next day and beyond, it became increasingly worse. So I kept my money in pocket! I had a horrible encounter at Sabor…..which prompted me to go find a supervisor. Only a handful of the crew made me feel welcome. And being generous with that handful. Seriously, the crew seemed irritated.
