Review summary

Overall, I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone that has vaccinated children. Our son who is 10 had just received his second shot days prior to sailing thus he was not fully vaccinated. This made it difficult for him to enjoy the cruise as he was not aloud to enter vaccinated areas or attend vaccinated shows. Plus we could not use my time dinning thus we had to choose either a 5pm dinner which we don't like or a late 7:45pm dinner which made it difficult to see the shows for unvaccinated cruisers. None of this information was really was clearly disclosed prior to sailing. Had I been aware of the limitations I would have rescheduled the cruise.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

One of our suitcases lost its tag and sat at guest services until 8pm. This was frustrating as her name tag was still on the suitcase so had anyone at guest services looked at the name tag we could have received the suitcase hours earlier.

We carried our own luggage off and it was a breeze. We were off the ship and in our car by 7:30pm and that after eating a sit down breakfast.

Great review. We just got off Oasis the 19th too. RC clearly does state who is considered fully vaccinated and who is not. It sucks that your son couldn't do everything though.

3 Emergency Medical Evacuations caused some bumps but still a great cruise.
