Review summary

The Oasis class ships are the best in the world to have a relaxing week, yet exciting. So much to do and watch, at 74 years old, we want to be pampered and entertained, and they never let us down. We spend a lot of time in the coffee shop in the Promenade and watch people, entertainment, and just hang out. The Solarium is another place to relax. It's all good.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Got to the Port at 11 a.m., was through and on the ship in less than 1/2 hour.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Mary Ann our waitress was one of the best we've had. So efficient and caring. My wife has trouble digesting most foods and Mary Ann was very helpful with her food choices.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
My favorite activity is the walking track. The Oasis ships have the best track than any other ship on the seas. Fun to put on 6 of my 10 miles a day on that great track around the ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We like all the Broadway shows, different musical acts around the ship, the dance parties in the Royal Promenade and music in the park.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I felt all the staff on the ship was better than last year. All seemed friendlier and seemed to be more at ease.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I love the Oasis ships with all the different places to go, Central Park, Royal Promenade, Boardwalk, Solarium and more. Very seldom seems crowded with so many places to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice balcony cabin, very clean and well kept.

Take your time and enjoy everything.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Spent the day going to different beaches and laying in the shade and eating at different places. Great food, great place to just relax. Really enjoyed the Island.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Got off early, picked up luggage, and went on the R.C. shuttle to airport. Got to shuttle from ship in less then 20 min. Was wonderful.
