Review summary
The Oasis of the Seas is well worth the money just to be on board such a ship. The experience was really something, but we probably would go on a smaller ship next time. For 6,000 passengers it went smoothly, but last minute plans to see some of the entertainment was really not very productive. The ONE HOUR sales they have are a joke as they last several hours and the people who stood in line to be there at the beginning were feeling rather stupid and taken advantage of by the ship. The stops were nice, but they needed to tell you up front that you cannot bring any food or liquid on board after spending the day in Labadee.The cabins were very nice and well maintained by the staff. All the employees on board the Oasis were very pleasant and helpful. The food was good and very similar to other R.C. cruises we were on previously. We decided not to get the water package and were very glad about that decision. We did get the soda package and it worked out ok for us.We scheduled two excursions and ended up cancelling both of them to spend more time shopping for the wives. Overall it was a good experience for our fourth cruise and I would recommend it,if only to experience such a gigantic ship,let alone the other fine characteristics of the cruise.
