Review summary

All in all was a really enjoyable cruise. I'd have to say the Oasis class ships are my favorite. They're not for everyone but if you enjoy the bigger boats, definitely have to check out any of them in this class!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

By far the best and easiest embarkation day I've done. Got there early, and was able to get through checkin and on the boat in no time!

State room was super nice! Was able to upgrade to a Central Park balcony for cheap. Didn't sit on the balcony much but, def gave it that city feel looking over Central Park when we did.

Ship tip

Keep an open mind. It's a bigger ship so obviously at times it'll be crowded. But it's also big enough to have other areas that aren't crowded that you can get away to. Had a bunch of great shows through out the week and always had stuff going on through out the day. By far the best cruise I've been on so far and if ya don't mind a bigger boat, I def recommend it. Great ship and great crew. And remember...is it really worth it to get upset and aggravated when you're on a cruise in the Caribbean!!!

Checked out the free beach by Atlantis and that was some crystal clear water! Just a short taxi ride from the port. Nice shopping and restaurant area right outside the port also! Enjoyed it very much!

We’ve cruised Oasis class since 2010 and find the ships handle extremely well. We’ve also found the western cruise to be much calmer seas.

Not really. One of the nights the water got a little choppy and could feel it a little, but nothing really crazy. I also noticed at the aqua theatre at the back of the boat you could feel the shaking of the props but it wasn't bad. Its was a super smooth ride overall! Fortunately with the bigger boats you hardly feel any sway at all unless of course it's rough waters.

Did you feel any motion on the ship. I get motion sickness easily.
