Oasis of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I would always recommend a Royal Caribbean Cruise to anyone.  I enjoyed the service especially from Dudley Jean, from the Diamond Concierge Lounge. He was always very pleasant and accommodating.

I also want to acknowledge Fransic from Romania from the Deck 4 Dining Room. His assistant as well. Both of them remembered our drinks every night and were very welcoming as well.  Great service! 

Oasis is a beautiful ship. Being one of the largest in the world it never feels crowded. The most people I saw together was only at the muster drill. The crew members have a can do attitude regarding anything. 

We stayed in a Jr Suite which is very nice and provides a great balcony large enough for 2 lounge chairs and a bistro table and 2 chairs. 

The restaurants both complimentary and specialty are all nice. 

150 Central Park is by far the nicest cruise ship restaurant. The tasting menu changes mid week giving you an opportunity to dine there twice. 

Additionallt Jr Suite guests may book 2 dinners in the Coastal Lounge Resurant on the 17th deck. This area is only available to those booking grand suites and higher. A great way to try the amenity without booking a larger suite. But makes it tempting to book a class higher. Superb service and upper scale wine list. 

Royal Caribbean does a great job

only comment about the ship is its beginning to look a little worn in the common areas , carpet etc. we cruised on it 3 years ago and I notice it's in need of a little refresher

The staff couldnt do enough for you.What a wonderful trip. From housekeeping to the bartenders to the waiters. You will be pampered. The only negative was the pools, although there are 4  they were always crowded.

The Oasis of the seas is  the perfect family cruise ship destination.  The ship is perfect for all ages.  The food was wonderful.  Chops Grille is awesome.  the kids had a great time on board.  We loved Labadee.  Definitely experience the zip-line.  While it is expensive it is a lot of fun. The entertainment was very good.  Are only complaint is the Cats is not a very good musical.  Nothing against the performers as they did a wonderful job.  The show itself is not very good. 

The Southside Dance band was great. 

Main dining room food and service was not so great most nights.  Mashed potatoes were better in Windjammer.  Late dinner conflicted with a lot of one time events on board which could have been scheduled better.

The Royal upsell is getting to be too much.  Everywhere on board there is a upsell to get what used to be free. It never stops either.  From walking on board to getting off the ship, there is upsell, pushing, drink packages, photos, videos, dinner upgrades, lunch upgrades, spa specials. Oh you want an exercise cla$$ or go to learn about improving your health and it ends in a sales pitch.

its a beautiful ship. shows arent great and  everyone reserves all the times etc and u cant get in .especially comedy. it should be first come first serve. free food was terrible. but the food you had to pay for was great but pricey. if u dont have the ultimate drink package with the top shelf liquior .  forget it . they were not good. . ports to jamica hati cozelmel were terrible and excursions were not good . alot of people came bak and complained and wanted their money back. i spent my time at  guest services. 

The ship was beautiful. The food quality has really gone down. Only food available after 9:00PM  free is Pizza, anything else you had to pay for. At the start of the shows, they had popcorn for the children and was charging $2.95 for a small box. They should be a shame of them selves How cheap can they get.

Being first time cruisers, my husband and I did not know what to expect. Everyone kept telling us "you'll love it!" When we walked onto the ship, it looked like a huge mall with 17 stories. It was unbelievable!

Everything you need is right there on the ship. If you love to shop, it's there.  If you love nonstop activities, it's there. This ship seems to meet everyone's needs -- except ours. It wasn't very relaxing nor private; there were just too many people (over 6000 people not including the staff & crew). Also, the stops in the ports felt rushed.

We sailed for three days before getting to the first port, St. Maarten, then onto Puerto Rico and Labadee, Haiti. We spent less that 24 hours in all three ports. So basically, it was a vacation on a moving hotel.

We're used to traveling to all-inclusive resorts on the same day and enjoying the sites/excursions without feeling rushed. Needless to say, this was a different experience.

Maybe a smaller ship may make for a different experience.

This was an amazing cruise. Here are the notes I took while on the cruise. 

Cruise noted 

St Marten Water taxi not needed Cab can take you to sunset beach $10 per person  Shopping cheaper downtown, but still a little more expensive than other destinations.  Don't settle on the first store, check them all out and compare prices.  Watch out for people trying to get cab money, only pay driver.  Get to sunset beach early, jumbo jet arrives around 11am.    Boat Cannot bring iron No free iron to use. Need to use their laundry service. We purchase the downy wrinkle free spray. Use that with a blow dryer. Took most of wrinkles out.  Drinks are not free. Sodas are 3.25. Liquor depending on what you drink ran about $25 for 2 for us. Water down drinks.  If you get cold easy, bring a jacket 

Casino. 30 min before the casino opens they have free lessons on the table. Helped us a lot. 

Reservations. Before you leave home go online and book dinner and show reservations. That way you can plan the rest of your day after that. If you don't you have to wait to see a show. 

Haiti There are cabanas you can rent. There are also covered seating you can rent, but you have to get them early. $35. Don't think it pays to pay for an excursions on this island.   Beach club

That's my second voyage with Oasis, staff were nice and happy- entertainment was ok, " The Quest was good, comedy show was boring. Our dining experience was ok

RCCL lived up to its 5 star standards in its ship (gorgeous!), its first class customer service (specially our cabin stewart Geraldine, our waiter George and assistant) 

the entertainment was also 5 star - all shows were wonderful!   We've seen "Cats" on Broadway and I must say this was an excellent reproduction. 

We have taken this itinerary before (yrs ago) and must say we were quite impressed with all the improvements on Labadee. 

Well then, why only 4 stars?   We purchased the "sensation-SM25 " tour b'cos description was sightseeing and beach - BIG mistake -  The sites where poor, unkept neighborhoods - the beach was the Atlantic Ocean - rough and full of huge rocks had to wear shoes!  ( our plans were to enjoy the Caribbean not the Atlantic )the beach chairs were in a limited area (3 rows of 6 chains next to the BBQ ) unless you were 'ok' with sitting on the nude part of the beach, and oh yes! BBQ is included but you must pay for water ( sugary punch was free 2 cups per person)   It was beyond disappointing it was upsetting to spend my only day in St Maarten  in that place.

 Had it been my only trip to the island I would have thought that this was normal but I have taken some wonderful tours of St. Maarten  to some beautiful bay beaches on the Caribbean side and lovely sights  with a different cruise line and I believe that a cruise line like RCCL should offer high standard tours.

 The other two stops we did on our own and enjoyed them very very much .

 The spa was wonderful and the attention was worthy of a top-notch spa.

 Thank you for the gift we found in our cabin and for the free spa treatment.

This was my wife and I second time cruising Oasis of the Seas and our adult daughter first cruise ever. Too see her face when she boarded the ship was priceless. We could not believe how huge the ship was. She certainly took advantage of all of the fun activities such as the boogie board Flo Rider, rock climbing, the free shows and the delicious meals. The different places that we ported from where all beautiful.  I do wish that we could have ported longer in San Juan Puerico.

Our favorite part of the cruise were the ports! We always enjoy visiting new places and seeing the different cultures and meeting new people.

The food on the Oasis was a bit disappointing to us. It just wasn't as good as some of the other ships we have been on. However the service of the staff on the ship was fabulous as always!

Our room had a balcony and that was grand! We enjoy looking across the ocean and looking at the cities as we arrive in the ports.

Oasis has some wonderful shows and the performers were outstanding as they showed their talents during the shows. Our favorites were the Aqua theater and the ice skating show.Those people were just out of this world as they performed their water dives and ice skating talents! Just incredible to watch.

Oasis of the Seas is a beautiful ship with all kinds of activities and things to see and do! 

the amount of activities scheduled. The service and the friendliness of the staff was great. I enjoyed the destinations and adjustment should be considered for the amount of time spent in Puerto Rico

Everything on this ship was wonderful. The activities, the shows, the food. The kids loved every moment.  The only problem I had was that my husband is dairy free, and there are not many dairy free options in the form of dessert and other treats.  I really would like to see the gluten free and dairy free options made available.  He had a horrible experience at Starbucks where he asked for a dairy free beverage and was given one with dairy.  I asked the attendant to correct it, and she informed me I would be charged for the change.  Starbucks does not charge you to correct a mistake.  That was my only problem.  All of the other details were amazing.

We've sailed with four other cruise lines - all for different reasons - and found that this was the best one for adults. Yes, there were Dreamworks characters on-board, but the ship was really geared toward people who were looking for a quiet, relaxing trip. There was no overbearing music on deck, or "mandatory" dance parties (when the staff would highly encourage people to join in). We could always find even more peace and quiet in places like Central Park (love the crickets sound-effects after sundown) or the back of the ship once the waveriders were done for the day.

The food was amazing and the shows were nop-notch (especially the diving show). The staff was very attentive - from our cabin attendant to the cafeteria workers.

There was always something to do, but there was much less pressure to "be involved" than the other cruise lines gave, and the TV was an excellent resource for booking activities, getting info on ports, and checking our daily schedule. 

My favorite part of the cruise was the overall appearance, elegance and friendliness of the crew. The food was very good too!  Our cabin steward, Aleus Paul, and the restaurant wait staff at the American Icon dining room were all superb!!!!!  The ship is gorgeous, huge and state of the art!!!!

The only negative was the casino.  My husband and I visited there every single night and NEVER won.  We also observed the slot players around us and no one won a jackpot.  That's not something we're accustomed to seeing on a cruise.

My husband and I enjoyed the cruise from our first lunch at Windjammers to the last breakfast at the same place.  The variety of activities gave us plenty to do, but we especially enjoyed the ice show and the aqua show.  In the evenings, we enjoyed strolling through "Central Park" and enjoying the violin and keyboard music.  Our granddaughter even danced a little for them and was well received.  We enjoyed exploring the ports, and I liked sitting on my balcony and looking at the water.  The guide on the Discovery cruise in Haiti was especially informative and funny.  We enjoyed shopping in Cozmel.  However, if we hadn't attended the information session with Kevin, we would never have found the Forum - a great placed to shop and eat.  My husband said it was the best Mexican food (Pancho's Backyard) he had ever eaten.  We had a wonderful week.

This ship was amazing! The staff was exceptional. The food was amazing! The onboard activities and shows were fabulous! Our 7 day cruise was by far our best vacation! 

Our room attendant was just above and beyond the best.  Kept everything clean and up to date his name was Mark.   

Our waiter was extra nice and seen that we were took care first class and his name was Caesar.  

I was not too impressed with the furniture on our balcony as I didn't think it was as comfortable and on other Royal Caribbean cruises I have been on.  

The only complaint I have is for room service.  Two different we ordered we did not get all we ordered.  We called and they brought it to us but we were done eating by then.   So that was the last of our room service.   

Royal Caribbean is my favorite ship as this was the 4th time with them.  I am a gold member now but don't know when I will move up.
