Review summary

This cruise was probably one of my top 3 vacations! The ship is beautiful. The food was plentiful and good. My husband and I were shocked that we preferred the Windjammer, Johnny Rockets, and smaller food venues around the ship over the Main Dining Room. The staff in the MDR could not have been more awesome but the food, in my opinion, was just OK. The cabin was clean and the steward was so nice and helpful. We never had an empty ice bucket and I asked for extra washcloths once and had them every day after. There were plenty of activities. I suggest just trying something new and different each day. I did line dancing by the pool, various trivia contests, and even the zip line. Our snorkeling excursion in Labadee was fun. I recommend getting lounge chairs in Columbus Cove. White sand and very relaxing. We did not care for our day at Falmouth (took a guided tour) but heard great things about Dunns River Falls. We will do that next time. In Cozumel we did Salsa, Salsa and Margaritas. Big fun. The margaritas were endless. You create and eat your own salsas, including a dessert salsa! Oh and for the first time in a long time the Casino was our friend!! We loved this cruise so much we are booked again in 2018!

We at breakfast in the MDR, Room Service, Windjammer and Johnny Rockets. Johnny Rockets was surprisingly our most favorite! It was like the best kept secret on board.

All of the shows were spectacular. The set design, costumes and performers in Cats were top notch Broadway caliber. Unfortunately it is still the play Cats. My husband and I wanted to love it and made it through a painful 30 minutes.

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was very nice, but small. LOVE having a balcony. Oasis is so big sometimes you forget you are on a ship. It was nice to have room service on with an ocean view for breakfast each morning. We would take a break and just relax in our own private space. My tip is to bring plenty of strong magnet hooks. Every wall in a cabin is magnetic. We hang our wet suits, towels, accessories... It is a big help.

Ship tip

Book your shows in advance. Play Deal or No Deal in the Casino! Try Johnny Rockets for breakfast. Check off everything you might like to do on the Cruise Compass each day and do as many as you can! Smile, relax and have the time of your life!
