Review summary

The ports were great. The ship was nice, but did not like having to make reservations for everything. Had my time dining and for at-least 4 nights the dining room was complete chaos. My daughter enjoy the teen program and meet many friends.

The beach excursion was not pleasant. It was too long and the water was very cold.

Did the RC excursion to the Amalfi Coast and was not aware it was so far from the port and we only got to spend 30 in the town before going back to the shop. Too many stops to local shops sell us stuff.

Drags, the difference between Adventure and Oasis is that there are more entertainment and dining venues not (much) larger ones. --------- Reserve your entertainment venues. There will be shows in studio b, aqua theater and main theater at the same time, choose which one you want to go to. You can always wait on standby until 10 minutes before show. Lots more speciality restaurants but similar size as on Adventure so decide the ones you want.

On Oasis class you should reserve, preferably before embarkation week: Main Theater shows, Aqua shows, Comedy Club and Specialty Dining. I don't believe you can reserve the wonderful Jazz Club, but like the shows you reserve, you still need to be there no less than 15 minutes before the show start time.

So what all did you need to reserve? I've been on Adventure of the Seas and all I needed to reserve was dinner. I know Oasis is much larger than Adventure.
