My wife and I enjoyed every second on Oasis for our honeymoon. We couldn't have picked a better ship. It's massive with so many fun things to do, but still didn't feel too overwhelming. The boardwalk and Central Park were two of my favorite areas to be on the ship. The Royal Promenade was gorgeous as well. I'm a little sad that Oasis is leaving Cape Liberty since that's fairly close to where we live. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to book another cruise on Oasis!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Cape Liberty is such an easy port to navigate. Even though there were a ton of people, the lines moved very quickly and we only had to wait a few minutes after going through security to board the ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The MDR was pretty solid. I actually only ate in the MDR a few times, but it was great when we did. The New York Strip never disappoints. The Windjammer was good. I'm somewhat of a picky eater, but they had something for everyone. My wife and I had dinner at Chops Grille twice and were blown away each time. Chops is well worth the money and it's one of the best ribeyes I've ever had. I'd never miss an opportunity to eat at Chops on a Royal cruise.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The pools were fairly crowded during my sailing, but it was after school let out so that was to be expected. The pools and hot tubs were great when we did go in them. It was hard to find chairs but that was before Royal cracked down on saving seats. I'm sure it would be much better now.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The Aqua show was sensational. I thought I would enjoy it going in, but it ended up being phenomenal. I'd definitely go see it again.
Children's Programs
My wife and I don't have kids, so we didn't explore any of this.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward Nengah was tremendous. He was so helpful whenever we needed something and provided turndown service twice a day. We obviously didn't need that, but it was much appreciated. We also had a great bartender named Mark that we found at the Trellis Bar in Central Park. Unfortunately, we went there on the last night and wish we discovered him sooner. Best drinks we had all cruise. I certainly learned my lesson and will try out all the bars on my next cruise in order to find the best bartender.

Cabin / Stateroom

We booked a junior suite and it sure didn't disappoint. There was plenty of space, including a walk-in closet. Our balcony was tremendous and constantly gave us amazing sea views. There's nothing more satisfying than enjoying a drink on the balcony while watching the open ocean go by.
Our port stop in Nassau was cut short due to a medical emergency. We were supposed to do a tour excursion, but that got canceled. We briefly got off the ship just to say we did. Nothing really that special about Nassau.
Coco Cay is amazing. There's no other way to say it. We booked a beach cabana at the Coco Beach Club and loved every second of it. It's amazing to be just a few stops from the ocean and having a cabana steward tend to your every need. It's a little pricey, but well worth it for a special occasion.
