Review summary
The Oasis of the Seas is a wonderful ship and we had a great time! All the entertainment was outstanding (don't miss CATS,)! We loved all of the venues for specialty entertainment (Jazz 4, Bolero's, Dazzles, etc.). Recommend spending time the first day getting to know the ship. While it is the biggest ship I have been on, it is easy to navigate from venue to venue and once you know the ship, it seems much cozier! Hard to believe with 6,000+ people how uncrowded it can seem. If you are sailing at a peak time (when school is out) make sure to make your reservations for the shows, dinners, etc. ahead of time....and don't be late for the shows. They start on time and 15 minutes prior to the show they allow the people in the "stand-by" line to enter.
Plenty of options for food and beverages. The solarium is a great place to unwind. Look for our favorite bar waiter, Anthony! He does a great job.
We found all the crew and staff to be very nice, friendly and accommodating. Cruise Director Drew Devine and his assistant, Margo, are outstanding. Watch their morning show!
Food on the ship is very good, but not great! They do have the best sandwiches available, however, at Park Café. Ask for the Beef on Wek! Amazingly good!
We stayed in a balcony cabin (12653) over Central Park. Not recommended. View is very limited (as opposed to the Boardwalk neighborhood where you can at least see the ocean behind the ship) and while on your balcony you don't feel as private as you would in an ocean balcony because all you do is look at other people's rooms and they at you!
All in all, we highly recommend the Oasis of the Seas! Enjoy!
