Review summary

Pretty much enjoyed everything except the Jamaica port of call, the overly packed Windjammer and it's repetitive menu and the fact that there were too many kids on the ship, but it was Christmas week, so this is probably to be expected. Oasis is a nice ship though and we loved Labadee and the other side of the island in Cozumel.

Charlie Jourdan in the pub was good. The cruise director on this sailing was very good as well. I've never complimented a cruise director before, so...

First time in a Boardwalk balcony, would do an ocean view balcony going forward. The cabin itself was ok.

Falmouth, Jamaica

Have never liked Jamaica and we did not do an excursion. Don't like to be pushed to buy things and have never felt this was a safe port. We spent most of the day on the ship.
