Review summary

We've been on RCL half a dozen times and it has become our favorite cruise line. Beautiful ships and great people. And a great way to spend a week unwinding and relaxing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

There were long lines but getting aboard was very organized and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was excellent and good choices.

Schooner Bar

5 out of 5

Nice place to meet and enjoy a quiet drink. Wait staff was excellent, very friendly and attentive. We met with friends at Schooner's each evening for a pre-dinner cocktail.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Took advantage of the fitness center each day. Bowriders were fun and putt-putt was challenging. A lot of choices and options.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The quality of entertainment was great, but this was our second cruise on Oasis in 3 years and the same shows (Cats & the diving show). The comedians onboard were really funny and enjoyed that show in the Comedy Club.

Theater

5 out of 5

The Opal Theater was beautiful and I have only one suggestion. The metal bar across the tops of the handrail on the balcony and second level is right at eye-level and obstructs the view of the stage for those sitting in those sections. If you could lower that rail to just above the glass panels (maybe 3 or 4 inches), it would improve the viewing. Check it out and sit in one of the seats.....

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The cabin steward and waiter & asst waiter in the main dinning room were great. After the first night we requested the same table each night in order to get Fabian & Alfredo. They made it a lot of fun. We also saw a lot of the maître de & asst ---- they made the dining experience in the main dining room very enjoyable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

For a big ship it was easy to get around. And it was kept very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Sorgi kept the cabin very clean. He anticipated our needs and never had to ask for anything. He was great.
