Review summary

We are very pleased with our recent cruise. We went on Oasis of the seas 7/18-7/25 with eight other family members. Some crew members whom we will always remember for going above and beyond were those at the dining hall: Ivanka, Estephan and Calbert. They were accommodating to my family, professional, friendly, and warm-spirited. They would tell jokes or remember our food preferences like extra bread, lemon, and tea. Little things that mean a lot and make you feel appreciated. One day, we missed our dining time because we were at both Florence and Pisa, and the taxi ran late. Calbert got us in an hour later with our waitresses, Ivanka and Estephan. It was our last night there, so it meant the world for us to say goodbye. You can tell from a mile away when someone is content and loves the service they provide. I especially loved the performances from Son del Mar at Boleros! The singers gave off such vibrant energy every night and were truly talented. I truly believe all crew members are deserving and did an exceptional job. Finally, the process for boarding on and off the ship was organized and made me feel safe as I was traveling with my daughters and their cousins. I cannot wait to book another cruise with this company!

The singers gave off such vibrant energy every night and were truly talented. If I had to pick one thing to change it would be the gratuity policy of being charged every day, which I overlooked and wasn't expecting at the end of my trip. I truly believe all crew members are deserving and did an exceptional job but I would like to be able to provide my own gratuity. Finally, the process for boarding on and off the ship was organized and made me feel safe as I was traveling with my daughters and their cousins. I cannot wait to book another cruise with this company!
