Review summary

Cruising on the Oasis of the Seas was enjoyable most of the time and frustrating some of the time. My favorite part of the cruise was my zip line experience as I have always wanted to attempt it and I was finally able to achieve my goal. It was frustrating to have to "make reservations" to see the entertainment productions and the "my time dining" did not work out as smooth as I have experienced it before. I am sure that both issues were due to the number of people the ship accommodates and since I am not a fan of large crowds I consider that just to be a matter of personal preference to cruise on smaller ships. Overall the variety of things to do on the ship was just right.

The food was delicious. The service was acceptable. The "my time dining" needs improvement.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
I expected bunk beds for the children. The use of a fold out sofa instead limited the floor space in the cabin and access to other items when the bed was set up for sleeping.

Ship tip

Make sure you make reservations for all of the shows/entertainment as well as dining times (for my time dining) well in advance. Also request bunk beds if traveling with children and if that is an option.
