Review summary

Fun new ship with a lot to do but Royal and oasis class ship just didn’t quite live up to the hype for us. Very busy at times and certain venues were so small you couldn’t get into some things. Buffet was always rammed and Vegan/ veggie dining also poor, especially food labelling. Better than expected Main dining room food with some of the best service we’ve ever had. Extortionate prices drinks and speciality dining.

All Oasis Class ships are engineered for the proper occupancy. Nothing about these ships are not adequate for their design. That's why all the second tier cruise lines like MSC and Carnival are finally building and designing much larger ships in an effort to copy Royal Caribbean.

Had the same issues myself amazing ship but not built for the amount of folks they have on board evening hours they have only one pizza counter for 6,000 people always had to wait at least 45 minutes for my time dining then you were rammed in and out quickly also buffet is a joke much smaller than I've ever seen on a ship had to skip breakfast twice or I would have missed my onshore tour buffet breakfast should not be 45 minute Wait
