Review summary

They mention thousands of activities for the week. I don't count sales in the shops and on dining and drinks as activities. There needs to be more activities that people actually want to participate in.

The show in the aqua theater was a disappointment, the other ships have lots of diving and acrobatics, the show on the Oasis "Aqua 80s" was a bunch of spastic dancers, hardly any diving and the trampoline got used once.

Glad you had a good cruise. Thanks for the great review. Glad you couldn't find any REAL issues to complain about.

I thought the aqua 80 show was fantastic! It just shows that it’s all about your outlook on life. Also it’s very derogatory to describe the dancers as spastic. There’s no need for that kind of insult.

Check your facts. Quantum Class is bigger than what you say.

Not sure you went on the same ship that we’ve been on but I’ve never felt bored🤷🏼‍♀️ We’ve cruised in Allure 3 times, Harmony and Oasis once and never had any complaints. It is what you make of it.

Love those ships. But I agree that most of the daytime programming is it some sort of sales pitch

I think Oasis class ships are over rated and not best choice as it has too many people. To put that into perspective, it holds roughly 4000 more passangers and crew than as next largest ship class, Quantum class and 5000 more than Freedom class. The Oasis is about 35% more gross tonnage with about 75% more bodies than quantum and about 40% more tonnage and about 100% more bodies than freedom class. Simple math.
