Review summary

This is our 2nd time cruising on an Oasis class ship. It's layout is very similar to the Harmony of the Seas. My Husband prefers this specific class versus myself who prefers the Mariner of the Seas type of class. The shows on this cruise are spectacular specifically the Aqua show - if you can swing it, book a room by the Aqua theater. You will be able to enjoy it right from your balcony.

Embarkation

The Miami port makes embarkation on to any Royal Caribbean's ship super easy and pleasurable

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This cabin overlook the boardwalk. Being that the other side can see you, it really deterred us from using the balconies so I would personally probably never book this type of Room again due to lack of privacy but there was nothing wrong with the room itself. Gorgeous, spacious and clean

Ship tip

For new cruisers: it would be to their benefit to book a room near the elevator which would eliminate you from walking one end of the ship to the other since the ship is like a city on the ocean. You will keep walking in the wrong direction, but being near an elevator will help give you a sense of direction.

Couldn’t agree more with your comments. We’ve tried boardwalk and Central Park rooms and we also disliked the rooms right across from you. I think your advice to stay close to elevators is legit, we stay on deck 6 mid ship. We’ve enjoyed Oasis class since 2009 and look forward to being back on Symphony soon. Enjoy all that cruising has to offer 🛳🎉🥂💙😎🇺🇸
