Review summary

Best ever waitstaff in the main dining room. They went above and beyond to take care of any wishes we had. As for the rest of the MDR experience... not so great. Very loud people, people coming to dinner 30-45 minutes late and very inappropriately dressed made the experience less than great. There were guests dressed just as they came off the basketball court. Men in tanks with hairy armpits is a disgusting sight at dinner. I know this is not a popular view, but it is mine. Dress casual should be the least dressed allowed in any white linen restaurant. The smaller limited menu was a bit disappointing as well. We did not have a chance to see Cats, but all other shows were excellent. Overall a very nice cruise.

LoraLuvsCruisin most people that went to see Cat's including us had a very hard time following what was going on. It doesn't take long to become bored with the play and leave. Just the same I would not want you to just take my word and suggest you attend. Who knows you might be one of the few that like it. Just in case though I would sit next to an exit just in case you want to leave before intermission 😉.....🌴🚢🌴

PatrickBGregory Cat's is closer to 3 1/2 hours long and in our opinion you didn't miss anything except people leaving at intermission and not returning.....🌴🚢🌴

Lora, my wife & I just finished our cruise on the Oasis. We also skipped Cats. There is so much to do on the ship, seven days goes by too quickly. From others we spoke to, Cats is a long show, in excess of two hours, and we did not want to miss all of the other activities.

Was it just too crowded to see Cats? We’re taking this ship for Christmas-reviews are dampening my excitement.

I agree with the minimum being at the least pants and colored shirts for men. Basketball shorts and tanks should not be allowed. They can go to windjammer. Imo

That’s a very generalized statement. Some people are just slobs. I’ve been to 13 countries and see them everywhere. It’s not just Americans. 🙄

I hate to agree with work2sail who is from the uk, but is becoming increasingly apparent, not only on cruises, that he/she is correct.✌️
