Review summary

A fantastically appointed Oasis class ship. Great for families. Star Class provided an exceptional experience that allowed for priority access to dining, and entertainment venues. No lines.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Most streamlined and rapid embarkation experienced. Genie met us a the Star luggage drop point and escorted our party directly to our Aqua Theater suite (9730).

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Service as impeccable. We were escorted to each dining venue and given the best wait staff. Food quality was exellent for RCL (higher end cruise lines offer greater diversity and sophisticated cuisine)

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Oasis class ships offer more entertainment value than what can be attended on a 7-day cruise.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Design is 5-star, but I was suprised to see the ship is getting a little "long in the tooth". Our suite had a couple of maintenance issues that had to be resolved. Many of the metal surfaces was showing corrosion that would require re-prime and paint. Suite furniture was showing wear and tear.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Noticeable wear and tear on furniture and sliding doors, but huge balcony and room. Two BR and 2 BA. Located with great view of aqua theater. Balcony is almost 700sf and room living space is about 730sf.

Ship tip

Oasis class ships are very large, its often faster to navigate the length of the ship by using the non-public residential hallways instead of prominade decks.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
Great selection of restaurants.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Cozumel, Mexico

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Streamlined process like embarkation. Escorted from upper deck by genie (would capture elevator to avoid delays), and escorted to our luggage pickup.
