Review summary

Our cruise was on one of the biggest ships Royal has to offer in the Oasis. Despite the fact that it is going in to drydock for upgrades, it appears very new and nice. First the cons: 1) CROWDS! There are big big crowds on this ship and especially when at sea, you really can feel it. 2) The Windjammer was very crowded at times and sometimes people had to wait. 3) The pools were very crowded leaving little space to swim - mostly to stand and marinate. 4) The sporting events like basketball, zipline and flow rider were overcrowded as well. 5) the MDR menus were average. But this ship was marvelous aside from the crowd factors. Amazing shows, specialty restaurants, & the views were amazing. Staff is very friendly and accommodating but I think stretched to work on this ship.

We’ve been on the Oasis twice and never found it to be overly crowded even when the ship was sold out of cabins. Then again I didn’t have kids so I was mainly in the Solarium and had late dinner. Now, that being said the 70’s night was extremely crowded but was very fun. I guess it all depends on were you spend most of your time and the activities you do. Cruising is so much fun and to be honest quite relaxing.

I agree, will not go back on it. October will be Adventure of the Seas

Try cruising when the kids are in school. Summer is always the busiest. Or a smaller ship.

I was just on the Oasis in February--it was awesome but as you said, could get quite crowded! What kind of upgrades is it going in for?
