Thanks err'body...confirmed my suspicions. A ship of that magnitude doesn't seem relaxing at all. Too many people, which diminishes service. I can only imagine how exhausted the staff is. I'll go with Indy or Anthem.

Went on this ship back in February and have to agree. Glad I can say that I have done it but won't again,

I was on it in December and felt the same way. It seemed their biggest concern was trying to sell me something else the whole time.

Did the Oasis 2 years ago Will not ever do a ship over 3000 passengers again The ship was beautiful BUT if you didn’t make reservations months in advance you sure didn’t see any shows
