Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Not enough tables for amount of guests on the ship, couldn’t get reservations for specialty dining because everything was overbooked

Pools were overcrowded and not big enough for amount of guests, most of kids splash pad was “closed for maintenance”

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Couldn’t get into shows, all overbooked

Pay more why I love oasis ships because adults areas are for adults with its own cafe and huge jacuzzi and nice size pools never seem crowded
