Review summary

Great first cruise since covid. Wanted my husband to experience a large ship. There were more babies and toddlers then I've even seen on a cruise but they were pretty good. Apparent that these large ships are catering to young families which i understand. I think we will go back to our smaller older ships in the future.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Oceanview cabin was as expected. By not having the coffee table in there it did make it seem like more room

Ship tip

Use the deck map on app ahead of time to learn layout. Used it frequently on ship. Watch last 2 Months to when entertainment reservations open on app. Book right away and get that done ahead. Use the app on ship to add activities to your daily calendar

Thanks for sharing. Yeah the bigger ships can sometimes feel overrun by the little ones.

Kids sail free, look at Icon it's looks kid ship on deck. I enjoy RCCL entertainment and specialty restaurants on Oasis class. But prefer less kids to be honest. We sail in June can't wait.
