Oasis of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Very beautiful ship staff was very friendly. Entertainment was very good. The spa facilities were very clean and also the staff was very friendly. Loading and unloading at Port Canerval went very smooth my family and I were very pleased.

 there was a lot to do on the cruise, very satisfy with the crew and very friendly couldn't ask for more. will def. do it again with my family the only thing is that i wish that the ship had a bit more options to dine in for free instead of paying for some of the restaurants.

I cruise with my mother once a year and always have a great time.  This ship was amazing.  The food was outstanding, the shows were amazing, the entertainment throughout the ship was incredible.  We had the BEST time ever.  I will definitely will cruise again on the Oasis. I loved the ship!!!

My favorite part of the cruise was the day we got off in Cozumel, the Beach break was absolutley fabulous!This was NOT done by Royal Caribbean it was a private that we found online.  I can tell you that bigger is NOT better. We were so disappointed with dining room service, we never saw the cruise director except for on their TV Chanel, the food in the dining room was mediocre to say the least, but on a positive note the specialty restaurants we wonderful.  This cruise was so crowded, so many kids that I thought we had gotten on the wrong cruise ship and boarded a carnival ship or Disney.  This was my 5th cruise with Royal Caribbean and I can assure you it will be my last.  I really feel that since they began adding gratuities on a daily basis per person in each cabin that service as really gone down hill.  What in the world happened to Robes being placed in your cabin, or just the little added touch of shampoo, conditioner and soap in the showers, and a chocolate on your pillow at night.  Am I asking for too much?  Do I expect too much?  For the price of this cruise I do not think so, they used to do it, not anymore folks, its all about the money and how many people they can cram on this ship.  Don';t waste your time or money on Royal Caribbean anymore.

The shows were fantastic. I did not like that they close the pools and hot tubs about 830. I like to sit it the hot tub in the evenings and that was  not an option. I also did not like that ice and drinks were poorly accessible. Mostly only water available but no ice. The main dinning room seemed rushed and crowded. 

The service, dinners, facilities were amazing.   I would use caution when taking your excursions.  If your excursion does not go as described, make formal complaints to the manager of the excursion/or guide,  immediately report this to RCL management aboard the ship.  If you call after the cruise has ended, they will refund your money!

there was so much to do. Food was fabulous. The crew was outstanding. I didn't want to come home. Thank you for a memorable vacation. Loved it.I am ready to go back.

Dinner time was one of the best excellent service good quality food and the personal always with a smiley face asking you how they can help, shows are unique the best of the best, night time at the disco unforgettable moments

Had a wonderful time.  All the ports were nice and had plenty to do, shopping and excursions.  We would absolutely travel Royal Caribbean again.  The food on the ship was excellent except for one evening, other than that we had no complaints.  Entertainment on board was wonderful and we enjoyed all of the shows.  Service, both cabin and restaurant  was excellent, no complaints, very attentive to every need. 

I loved the cruise only improvements need to be the smell in casino I'm usually a big gambler but the smell was so bad and only gambled about 30 minutes till I got sick other improvements would be to have more accessible ice and more of the coke machines

Love the Oasis.   This was our third trip and decided to upgrade to a Grand Suite and we were not disappointed at all.   The suite is quite awesome and roomy and the Conceirge lounge and restaurant are perfect.   We ended up eating almost all our dinners there... well worth it

We did decide to visit Chops again which we have done on every other of our previous cruises.   To our disappointment, we found that they really have reduced the steak choices and now even charge extra for the higher cuts.   That would have been fine (although not happy about the price addition) but the Porterhouse that was suppose to be aged tasted more like shoe leather... Very very disappointed in that experience and will probably not visit Chops again 

The Broadway Show Cats was superior as well with extremely talented dancers and singers..   Don't miss that.

I was cautious. I'd never cruised a large ship before and was worried about crowds and finding my way around the ship. but I needn't have. 

When this ship was built, they must have taken special care to make it look big but feel small. With 24 elevators, there was never a problem with stuffing. There were no lines getting into the dining room and the roominess of the prominade prevented problems getting around with sales. There really were no lines to any of the venues. 

Entertainment? Broadway shows, comedy shows, ice shows, diving shows... 2 climbing walls, vollyball, basketball, ping pong, zip line, ice skating, 2 flowriders, putt-putt... There's no way you couldn't find something to do. 

There are only a couple of negatives... and they're not that bad... and they're just my opinion. First, the windjammer is the windjammer. I think it's named because people blow around the place, jamming even more into a tight space. It was tough finding tables... Another issue was the hike. Getting from the front to back took awhile. While it didn't seem so bad taking the hike through the promenade.. looking down the hall on the stateroom levels reminded you the ship is over 3 football fields long and 200 ft wide!  Lastly, reservations for the shows were a bit of a challenge. They were full, then they weren't... then they were. Still, we were able to take in almost all the shows we wanted. 

Food was what we've come to expect.  The Windjammer fare seems the same as on any ship. The same goes for the MDR... same same... and very good. Our supervisor, waiter, and asst. waiter were attentive almost to the point of diestration. All were super accomodating. We hesitated to eat elsewhere and miss their service. What's nice is there are several venues that offer food. There's Sorentos, Park Cafe, and my fav, the Hot Dog shack. All in all, I think I gained 5 pounds. 

Lastly, getting on and off the ship was a breeze. The rebuilt terminal made the process quick. We checked in and walked on board immediately. Our number was called early and the time between walking off the ship to being at the curb was less than 15 minutes. 

Bottom line, Oasis was a surprise. While big in size, it was small in attentiveness. I would definately sail her again!

Anytime dining was our favorite. We had some issues with staff (Wipe Out Bar),

not servicing all nationalities. The same issue happened in the Wind Jammer, with the woman serving ice cream. She deliberately skipped my daughter whom had been standing there well before the other cruisers walked up (While People) and she preceded to skip my daughter and asked the other two how she could help.

Same issues at the bar, just flat out ignored my husband whom had been standing there before a white guy, and the bartender, deliberately skipped him. The white guy had to say, "hey he was here before me"

The staff on the ship (not all) definitely have some issues with helping everyone.

We all paid money to get on the ship, we all want/demand to receive the service we paid for, regardless of the color of our skin!

My favorite part of the cruise is ALWAYS the food! I love going on vacation and not having to worry about cooking or picking a place to eat. There are so many different options on the Oasis of the Seas which is nice. Also, the ships through Royal Caribbean are always clean and the staff is always friendly! Definitely our favorite cruise line. 

One suggestion I have as far as the Adventure Ocean goes for the kids. I thought some type of pager would be nice for the younger kids just in case they were to get upset and not calm down while the parents are away. 

EVERYTHING was truly fantastic on this cruise! I was happily surprised that everything exceeded my expectations: The room, the service, the food, the shows, everything. I have been raving about my trip since I've been back, and can't wait to book my next trip!

First I want to say this ship cannot be accurately described in words, it is amazing in every way imaginable, from the moment you step on your blown away by its beauty, cleanliness, and soooo many things to see and do there is no way to do even half of them in 7 days! The chops grill is great, givonies itailian is very good, sabor very great and our waiter made it that much better! Johnny rockets has a great cheese burger and awesome shake, breakfast is free there so skip the windjammer with the large crowds and eat there instead! even though we sailed with a full ship we never felt crowded, its just that BIG! Be sure to check out the art gallery they have some really nice stuff and even if you dont buy anything is worth checking out and looking at the fine art and enjoying some free champange. The casino is very nice we won a jackpot on a slot for $984.02! THe solarioum is the way to go, we stayed on ship during one stop and enjoyed it, very very nice. now for the negatives, you will feel some what nickel and dimed at times, because while breakfast is free at johnny rockets they charge for lunch, and dinner, the arcades and nice as the are see very little use and there is rarly anyone in them bc they cahrge for each and every game machine in there! As far as shopping you may well be just like us and find that alot of the shops you want to check out are closed more often than not, perhaps they just where when we went but seems they would keep them open all the time with that many people, dont know on that one. the windjammer seems to close to early at night in my opinion, there are alot of people like us who prefer to go to show, bars, casino, ect. before they eat but it would be closed when we got there, and as far as quality of food in there its fair at best. Now for our room it was small but adacuate, however the air seemed to never cool, we where told to lock balcony door and it would cool but this never happend, when I spoke to customer service the claimed it was at approx. 71-72 degrees but should be running about 68 degrees, they said the would fix it but that never happened and I wasnt going to waste more time dealing with it. these issues are minor and did not affect our enjoyment of this great ship! We will be back again!

This was our 2nd time on Oasis and it was again truly wonderful and amazing. The food in the MDR was good to very good and we ate at Chops, Giovanni's table and 150 CP- all were incredible and fabulous. We especially enjoyed the solarium and spent alot of time there. It is so peaceful and beautiful and the solarium bistro is a great place to go for breakfast. The only true negative which kept me from giving 5 stars was that there was a large corporate group on board and they closed venues at times for their gatherings and I did not like that. As a paying customer I paid for full use of all the venues and this did not happen at all times. It became very irritating having to put up with all their goings on. None the less, we made the best of it and had a great time just the same. 

The embarking experience was excellent as well as the delivery of some of our baggage.  My husband's baggage came as we were going to dinner--much too late of arrival.  Food was very good as well as the service and attitude of our waiters.  The background music which was played throughout the ship didn't interest us as we were not familiar with any of it.  Just once a day it would have been nice to hear music from the 50's, 60's, even 70's. The entertainment was above average, but the production of CATS was really pretty bad.  About 1/3 of the audience left at intermission.  The loud speaker announcements were mostly not understood because of the accent of the person making them.  We could tell that those of us over 70 were not catered to in any way; in fact, the noise of their continual loud music was annoying.

We did appreciate the room credits ($$) we received from as well as the specialty dinner at Chops.  Royal Caribbean was used by me for at least five or more cruises, but I have to really think if it will be used again.

We would like a ship that sometimes have entertainment for the "over 60" crowd.  We also always enjoyed dressing for formal nights.  On this cruise the "formal dress" was merely a suggestion and not many guests paid any attention to it.  We thank you for arranging this for us and realize that your organization had nothing to do with the ship's daily activities.

The entire cruise was great. Fast service and easy to get on and off the boat. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Food was good and ship was clean. Lots of fun things to see and do on the ship. It can be difficult to refill your pop with the drink package  only a few self service place on the entire ship

 This was my first time traveling on oasis of the sea's. I have to admit I wasn't too impressed and I'm sure I will not be doing this one again.  We have always wanted to sail on the oasis of the sea's. So me along with 10 other couples book this cruise. (Ages 29-38) Our friends and I usually do a cruise every year. This is my 13th Cruise I have been on. The oasis of the seas is absolutely amazing! This ship is like nothing I've ever seen.  However it's way too big and way too many people. You literally have to plan your whole entire week with shows, comedians, reservations for dinner at restaurants etc in advance. if you don't you will not be allowed to attend.  I love other cruise lines and just  being able to get out of dinner and say OK, what should we do tonight? There is a show at this time, a comedian at this time and just being able to go do whatever you want for that night. Not here! The food on the oasis is absolutely horrible. We skipped the main dining the last three nights and went to the Windjammer. Again, due to the vast majority of people they have to make the food in large quantities. Everything is pre-made in large pans. No omelette station, No Asian cooking stations. Absolutely no fresh cooking. The ice cream machines have set hours and closes at 5 PM every night. Seriously!? That's one of the main reasons I go on a cruise! In closing staff were great, ship was amazing but we will definitely stick with Carnival or smaller ships to have more of the personal experience.
