Review summary

there were a few snags in our vacation but overall they were minor and handled accordingly. toilet broke( it was fixed very quickly) some weather issues not anyone's fault. ultimately we had a good time and anyone who could do anything to make it gooder was more then accommodating.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
smoothe as silk

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
great food , if you were hungry or thirsty it was your own fault. plenty of options for great food and drink

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
for the size and capacity of the ship imo it was lacking .shuffle board both courts, closed all week. card room was all but a closet for a 5200 person ship.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
the shows themselves and performers were very good, the venues were cramped at best and because of such made the shows pretty crappy. sound and lighting were terrible half the time but the performers did best they could in light of it.

Children's Programs

no children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
our waiters and room stewards were outstanding.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
i think the designers should be shot. whoever designed the venues to be so cramped on such a large ship and minimal seating capacity , must not have put much thought into this closet sized venue for a live band on a 5200 person ship. as far as clean( yes the ship was clean and they were constantly going around cleaning)

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
cabin was fine. it was as to be expected for what it was. adina was awesome in her service as a room steward too.

Ship tip

bigger ship is not always better.

OP, Which closet size venue? Jazz on 4?. I thought that's why they added the music hall during the amplification. When Oasis launched 13 years ago they were looking at more venues not larger ones so all of the spaces are similarly sized on the Quantum and Freedom class ships. Now during the restart of operations, when all venues aren't staffed to spread out the crowds which was the point of the ship design people are feeling a little tight. On older ships the spaces tend to be larger for more people but fewer choices of things to do.
