Review summary

A bad day at sea is better than a good day at work- always. That said, I don’t have any bad days at sea. It’s great to cruise with good friends in a great ship. Although the other oasis class ships are better than this one, it’s better than it was a few years ago. They have made many improvements. Overall the staff was amazing, but I never once saw the cruise director out and about -no big deal but I’ve always seen the cruise director in my 18 other cruises.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was ok, breakfast in the MD was always amazing, MD dinner was hot and miss but it was fun trying the different foods, snapper was the best, lobster had a bit of an ammonia smell, on the verge of bad but I took a risk and still ate it, and I’m still alive. Did not go to specialty restaurants, buffet was fun to try all the different foods.

Solarium Bistro

This is such an amazing spot to eat dinner and it’s complimentary. I love the concept of sides and apps and dessert buffet style and they just take your main course order. And the ambiance is perfect for groups or couples.

Terrible machines, good service, they need better games and these are the tightest machines I’ve ever seen. Not the cleanest and a lot of out of order slots.

Not a lot going on here, found a nice little Italian joint but the drinks were just ok and the service sucked. I wouldn’t shop at this port. But we took a nice walk into town.
