Considering the fact that the Oasis of the Seas is the largest ship afloat, with the most passengers, it was amazing that, at times, we found ourselves in areas of the ship with no one else in sight. The officers and crew did a fantastic job of organizing so many people and ensuring a fun cruise for everyone.

Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Although the overall food was very good, the procedure for dinner seating was frustrating. We are NOT fans of My Time Dining. With our only options for a designated dining time and assigned table being either 5:30 or 8:00 pm (too early/too late for us), we were left to stand in a long line to be seated each night, and could not join other cruisers. Therefore, we chose to dine in other venues most nights.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We spent some time every day in the adults-only Solarium, which was very enjoyable. Also liked the volleyball and pickle ball events.
Solarium
5 out of 5
Lovely, adults-only spot to enjoy the sun, but also the great food selections served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don't miss out--complimentary, but dinner reservations are needed.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We especially enjoyed dancing to the varied music of the band No Stress.
Although the stage performance of the musical CATS was well done, it was not well received by many passengers. It's too long a production for a cruise, and the story line is not clear enough for those unfamiliar with the show. Unfortunately, many people walked out after the first act and did not return.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Since the virus outbreak a few weeks prior to this sailing, the crew was overly zealous in keeping the entire ship sparkling clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
This cabin has less storage options than other ships we've sailed, but we made it work. This balcony is somewhat larger than others, but we would have appreciated a lounge chair, instead of 2 straight chairs & a small table.
Ship tip
Don't miss dining in the Solarium. Be sure to sign up for shows long before you sail, or you could find yourself standing in long lines hoping to get in.
Although one of the most popular beaches, Meggans Bay, was beautiful, chair/umbrella rentals were unreasonable. It costs $28 (plus another $30 security deposit) to get the equipment. At day's end, beach attendants expected visitors to carry them back or be tipped to do so.
We would highly recommend taking a taxi to Divi Little Beach for the day. The resort is lovely, with all facilities available, including very reasonable chair/umbrella rentals.
My time dining works if you make reservations in advance! You just have the option of any time to eat instead of early or late! We do 715 every night, and never wait! Glad you enjoyed rest of the ship! We cant wait to go in a few monthsb
