Had to go back for medical emergency. Boat was speeding, everyone in my family ended up sick… after wasting a day on an excursion in Bahamas that was rained out.

Some food was undercooked. Some food was dry and over cooked. Too many cultural options no one has ever even heard of

Onboard Activities

Way too crowded to even enjoy anything on the ship. Rude people long lines. Not relaxing nor fun.

Ship tip

Do not book so many people. Refund people when they don’t get to enjoy a FULL day and complete excursions to the fullest promised. We missed out in Honduras excursion also due to poor planning. Chair situation at the pools is absolutely horrendous you can not enjoy the pools without people fighting over chairs. It’s very embarrassing

Maybe a different time of the year would be better. Also, many people are out in pool chairs by 8 am or earlier, so prime seats may be taken. However, there are always places to sit and enjiy what is happening in the area. Dont give up, weather can always cause trouble, and nothing you can do about medical emergencies. Hooe you talked with guest services, they can be very helpful. Better luck next time!

I understand about everything besides your statement that the ship was " speeding ". If you are in rough seas, it's better to go faster to reduce the pitch and rolls. The speed change was probably to keep the ship from rolling. If the captain didn't put the bow into the waves, that's a legit complaint because every boot camp ensign in the Navy knows to do that.

Oasis was terrible when I went as well. Sorry to hear this is still the case.

Guess you didn't think Spring Break is a bad time to book a cruise. Of course it would be crowded then. Cruise ships have no control over bad weather which has been a problem all over the world this year. Lastly, medical emergencies happen. Would you have preferred that the person died on the ship? Sorry your vacation didn't go as planned but try cruising again. I am sure your next cruise will be better if you choose a better time to go.
