Review summary

I wasn't happy with this cruise as I have been on other Oasis class ships. It seemed that everything was crowded, there were lines for everything. We had a Central Park balcony and the music during the day from the pool deck was oppressively loud. We were Diamond and the venues they had available for Diamond and Diamond Plus were much too small for the 2600 of us that were on board. All the entertainment was crowded and space allocation for events like Bingo and Trivia were vastly too small for the crowds that turned out. I've always like Transatlantic Crossings but based on this one, I don't think I'll do one again. Our staff was helpful and friendly and some days the food was excellent and others it was only so so. Johnny Rockets with their overdone burgers is highly overrated and Playmakers with their ala carte pay as you go menu was not worth the money.

It was pouring rain the day we were there so there was not a lot to do.

We rented a car and went to the Kennedy Space Center but there was very little time as we had to go through immigration and customs and that tied us up until 10:30am. Since we had to be back on board by 4:30pm, the day was extremely short. I thought they could have arranged a later departure due to the fiasco in the morning to allow us more time. Many people were very unhappy with this.
