i wou;d cruise on this ship again the crew was great the ship was great and the food satisfied me. if i were you and you never cruised on an oasis class ship get a balcony its worth the little extra.look at the touch screen waypoints to know where you are.. be confident the drinks package is worth it because the baretenders are the bom.. and try to do as much on the ship as possible and you will never be bored!
Embarkation

first time cruiser but i thought it was pretty smooth all things considered had to wait in line of course but who doesnt and we were thru in about 15 min once we got to the counter it was a quick process to get us on our way to the ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
im a bit of a culinary fanatic and id always heard cruise ships were the best food in the bizz.... and it was good by any account... maybe i was just expecting something unreal
the buffet at the windjammer was very satisfying on the other hand because their is so many options that your bound to be happy!! breakfast was the best me and my Wife thought the frenchtoast was the best we have had period! a toaster we could use ourself would be nice (industrial size i suppose) i mean alot of the toast was overdone thats the only complaint about the food in the buffet i can think off. at peak times you had to wait a few minutes for a table PEAK TIMES and at those time everyone was quickly escorted to their table asap usually within 5-10 min
one problem i had specifically that really ticked me off was i paid a decent amount for a drinks package and i was not aloud to get a double on any mixed drink... i mean really?? but i must give it to the fabulous crew royal carribbean employs because there were a few who hooked a guy up with a double and were rewarded because come on i didnt pay that money to not get a double if i wanted it.
other than that the bartenders are amazing at their jobs really they make some quality drinkks on this ship!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
always something to do on this ship! really i mean between organized activities and what you can do on your own you will need to try to be bored
Entertainment
4 out of 5
come fly with me and frozen in time was the shows we caught.
come fly with me wassssss interesting to the eyes i mean the acrobatics were fantastic...but im a man who likes a story aaaannnd that is not what i found at all in this..but being as this was my first broadway type entertainment show what do i know
frozen in time wass fantastic on the other hand i mean you knew these were adaptions of fairy tales on ice an i was very entertained. the tin soldier story in the sand tho... my god was that GREAT!!!!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
cant say enough about the crew they were incredible always nice always with a smile and a question about how your day was. our housekeeper always said hello whenever he laid eyes on us, and a very busy bartender remembered the fantastic drink he made me several hours before when i told him to surprise me!!! :)
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
ship was good!/ 2 main elevators on either end were fast and plenty of them. and i always saw an employees washing down handrails..
some parts of the ship could be touched up for rust (very small amounts in overlooked places) but thats just being picky i mean its dealing with the sea!!!
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
we expected smaller but was pleasantly surprised at having a little more room than thought. bathroom was decent size all things considered with a good shower! i liked being able to adjust the pressure from very soft to pressure washer lol.its an interior cabin we didnt expect much but what we got was better than expected~
we are going with a balcony tho for next marches cruise with allure of the seas.
Ship tip
go to breakfast at the windjammer before 9 or after 10.
book your shows and dining in advance and dont use my time unless your going early (before 6 or after 8)
unless you dont mind waiting 30--60 min to either get in or get an express card for later.
good beaches! not a fan of being told i need to tip some guy for brushing of a few flakes of sand on an empty area of like 50 chairs on the beach...... one family said they were told it was $10 for a guy to bring chairs and set them on the ground (they would have just found their own but the guy insisted they follow him)
but like i said good beaches and swim areas.
good for a 3rd world country falmouth is very nice for tourists and your guided tours do well to get you to and from your excurions (thru the cruise line
was nice but some of their pay beaches are a rip off...but hey its a tourist trap..probs love it if i dived and such.
did some snuba thing or whatever basically walked underwater with afishbowl while got my photo taken a hundred times...walked in a circle with like fake ruins...not impressed i didnt come for a photo op
