Review summary

Not having a quiet deck to escape to, especially on a long cruise, is a deal breaker in my opinion. And it’s unfortunate because Oasis of the Seas has so many truly cool things to experience. It also had way better food than what I have come to expect from Royal Caribbean. But whoever designed this grand behemoth should be keelhauled for overlooking what almost all RCCL ships that are smaller have; a lounging deck that is either deck 4 or 5 on those ships.

Cats was cancelled. The water show was awesome. Great choices in music for that show, too.

Ship Quality

This is the killer. I like those ships that have a nice, quiet deck with deck loungers and the sounds of the ocean. A nice quiet area to escape to. The only outdoor seating is either in the pool area, where it’s always noisy, or in the sun on a deck so far up, you can’t hear the ocean. Oasis has a jogging track where there should be lounge chairs. I never question cleanliness on Royal Caribbean. The ship is constantly being scrubbed, wiped, mopped, etc. by a VERY attentive crew. Probably cleaner than my own house.
