Review summary

First, I had a lot of problems finding food options. I am a vegetarian and there were barely any options to choose from. Additionally, there were three occasions where I asked for a vegetarian burger, and I was told they did not have any. I was out of options to eat anything as there weren't even any type of beans or other vegan options. I was extremely disappointed and frustrated with this. Additionally, the cruise staff responsible for the onboard activities were not fun. They are very dry with people and doesn't make it a fun experience. I am a young woman and also had a bad experience with one of the staff. He was speaking in a way that showed he wanted to have a sexual relationship and it was extremely uncomfortable. I was worried to see him the rest of the cruise and on several occasions, he grabbed my hand even though I pulled away every time. He even asked for a hug and was not stopping even though I had told him NO. Extremely disappointed with this and the cruise line should take IMMEDIATE action as his behavior is unacceptable.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food was terrible. If you are vegan or like to eat healthy you will have extremely limited options and will end up eating the same thing every day. Very disappointed with their service as well. Every time I asked for something to the crew members they said they were out of it. Whether it's a hot chocolate, vegan burger, or even eggs.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The activities were very fun and entertaining, however the challenges/games done on the ship are very boring. I've been to over 10 cruises and the activities here are not worth spending your time on. Might as well do everything on your own.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Ice show was amazing and so was the water show! The musical was not too good and half of the people left during the show, including myself, as it just didn't make sense. Dancers were very good though.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

I had a very bad experience with one of the ship personnel who works for the outdoor activities. HE WAS ACTING IN A WAY THAT SHOWED HE WAS SEXUALLY ATTRACTED to ME AND TOLD ME INAPPROPRIATE THINGS. I AM A YOUNG WOMAN AND WAS LEFT TRAUMATIZED BY THIS... AND WAS LEFT THE ENTIRE CRUISE WORRIED AND TRYING TO AVOID HIM. HE ALSO LAID HIS HANDS ON MINE SEVERAL TIMES AND KEPT ASKING FOR A HUG, EVEN AFTER I SAID NO. Very disturbing and wouldn't want anyone to go through this. I reported this to the cruise line and nothing has been done about it.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Layout was good and common areas were kept pretty clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The cabin was pretty good, however as soon as the sofa bed was extended there was literally no space to walk. If you are traveling with 4 people I would suggest getting a bigger room.

The last two times I was on Oasis they had a huge vegetarian selection. Maybe because it is sailing out of different port they changed it. Definitely would have reported worker making you feel uncomfortable.

Thanks for the review. Sounds like cruising may not be forgiven. If someone cannot find something to eat on an Oasis class ship, they have some serious food restrictions or are extremely picky.
