Review summary

This was my 4th time on Oasis of the Seas, my favorite ship. The ships seems to be back to capacity but some areas needed more staffing, like the dining room. The ship is in great shape and clean. All Access ship tour was amazing. We went into areas of the ship that are for staff only, such as the main dining room kitchen, food storage area, laundry facility, back stage in main theater and the bridge. I would go back on this ship again.

Embarkation

Bayonne NJ port was very organized and we boarded very quickly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good, new assistant waiter was never around so waiter seemed overwhelmed at time.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Always found a deck chair at pool, big fan of trivia and was hard to find a seat. Piano player at Schooner was amazing. Did the sushi making which was a lot of fun. Also did the all access ship tour. This is a must do. Learned so much more about the ship and how the behind the scenes happen.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We booked a junior suite. the cabin was large, walk-in closet, we didn't use much of the storage since the closet was so large. nice size balcony as well. bathroom was large with a tub/shower. everything was clean as well. bed was very hard so a bit uncomfortable.
