Been on three Oasis Class RCL ships and never felt crowded. Was on NCL Escape in March 23 and always felt crowded even though we were a Haven guests. Won’t be doing that again.

Never use the cruise line air. The reason they give you discounts is they book the cheapest flights, usually at less convenient times. I made the mistake once, as it was free. Even for that price, it wasn’t worth the aggravation and uncertainty.

Yup, you should never book air with any cruiseline! I realize that you might get it free with your cruise, but as you experienced it is never good! Always the absolute worst times and connections from he!! Sorry it was a bad experience for you, next time you'll know better.
