Review summary

Overall a good experience but would have been greater with some better planning by RC.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Kind of chaotic with so many people having no clue what they were doing

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Dining room were excellent with one exception when we waited for 45 minutes (with a reservation)

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Very limited but the trivia games were good but must be put in a largere venue so that people can participate. We attend five but had to get there an hour early every time to get a seat.

Casino Royale

3 out of 5

Still has smoking which really is bad.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
What we saw was excellent. We had our performance of Cats cancelled two times and never saw the show. Here's the question many, amny passengers had. Wht would RC plan a show that is so sensisitive to movement of the ship that it is cancelled more than half the time. Las Vegas Tenors were the highlight of the entertainment.

Theater

3 out of 5

In comparison to other cruise ship, the Opal theatre has a very poorly placed railing for the first two rows of each section that needs to be corrected. The glass and rail are to high or totally unneccacary. Very poor sight line as a result.

Children's Programs

no children

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
dining room and room staff are extraordianry and made our trip great. The staff in the Windjammer and all bar staff need significant improvements

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
great ship and wonderful design

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Beds are outstanding Stateroom attendant was excellent

Ship tip

Be patient on day one because it is chaos allover the ship. Get a better clarification on meal reservation versus my time dining. Generally confusing for most people.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
need to have better access from the ship to the downtown area.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Only because we found a great tour guide on shore for 1/3 the cost of a ship excursion and a great tour.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Our second visit and equally great expereince. Too bad you charge for almost everything in the area. Need to let people know before they get off the shop to bring towels with them or have them available at the venue.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Ok, but we needed help due to an error in our departure status that the ship did not record.

Thanks for your review! I'll be sailing on the Oasis in about a week and a half, and was wondering if they have all or most of the live music venues going on that first day. Happy sailing and safe travels.
