I don't think I would sail again on Oasis of the Seas. Over crowding was a real issue and detracted from the cruise. Meal ties were more like herding cattle. We traveled in May, I can only imagine how bad it would be in summer.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The first few days the ship was packed with people. Food lines everywhere and often no seats to be found. Not a great experience. That began to ease off when people departed in Rome. The main dining room staff tried very hard but was overwhelmed. The food in the main dining room was not quite as good as I have come to know Royal
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pools were fine, jacuzzies were just warm. Fitness center was excellent. Spa massages were cost prohibitive. All good.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
All good. I'm not sure the quality of stage shows was as strong as it has been.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
The ship staff was generally very good and the dining room staff was particularly good. However, we got a lot of bad information from crew members - i.e. wrong directions and guidance.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Common areas were well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The cabin was fine. From the time we got in, there were always a few pieces of paper on the floor, balcony, and bathroom.
Ship tip
Be careful of the times when you travel. Overcrowding was a real issue for us.
Had I not gone to question Customer Service we would never had got the shuttle to the airport as they gave us the wrong luggage tickets. No information appeared on our up until the morning of departure.
