Royal Caribbean – Oasis of The Seas

Amazing cruise ship. Very big. Huge boat and a lot of walking. Many free restaurants and well as speciality ones. The Broadway had a merry go round that was awesome. Central Park you can relax or eat at a restaurant and shop. Many shopping also on deck 5 and food places. I tried zip lining I was scared. Ice skating had a long line to sign up. The shows were amazing. Especially the aqua water show. The staff was wonderful. The restaurants waiters were great. Everyone was helpful on the boat. It had I think 10 pools. The islands were amazing.

I am not one to complain or write Unilocal reviews but I feel the need to warn whoever is interested. Be careful. Royal Carribean will suck you dry if they get the chance. My wife and I booked our cruise months ago with the «best room guarantee». They ended up sticking us on the bottom deck, 3^rd room from the back. We were on deck 3, the crew was on deck 2. I don’t think that was as big an issue as was our assignment to the very back of the boat where the noise from the engine and propellers was unbearable! The water rushing underneath the boat and being pushed out by the propellers prevented us from sleeping for two nights. Why we got stuck down there after paying top dollar and booking way in advance is beyond me. It is hard to believe that the best room that they could give us was the third from the back on the lowest deck! This room was too noisy to sleep. After spending day 3 complaining and requesting a room I was told that there was only one room that was available on the entire ship. That is odd that on a ship that size there would only be one room. This was an interior room and would not be my first or second choice but I really had no choice. We were switched to this room and were required to pay an extra $ 300! The following night my parents, also on deck 3 and near the back complained about a noise. They were moved to an exterior room on deck 10 with a balcony. They were not required to pay extra for this. In fact, they were given two rooms to chose from. I guess this shows that there were other options available but Royal Caribbean saw an opportunity to make an extra $ 300 on us and seized the chance. My room was not up to anybody’s standards for what was charged. This essentially ruined my cruising experience. I guess the point is that you need to make sure that you reserve a room that is locked in. Do not trust them to give you their best room guarantee. I think this also goes to their lack of caring for their passengers and showing their true colors which is to monetize their passengers to maximize their corporate profits.

I have read several reviews for the «Oasis of the Seas» ship. I am convinced that some of these reviews were written by people who were either paid for the review, work for Royal or have never been outside of El Paso.
For starters: The Ship is absolutely amazing. That human beings created such a vessel is an incredible sight to see. At times you forget you are on a boat. Kudos to the ship builders! If half the amount of pride was taken in running the ship as was taken in building it, you might have something truly special here.
If you like long lines, horrible food, are over age 70, cant pass a basis IQ test, are allergic to stairs, want to buy a watch, love getting nickle/​dimed at every corner of the ship and love sleeping in a bed that looks like a squashed flip flop — this is the boat for you!
Ever wondered: «How many people can you REALLY fit on a 26 person elevator and why must I wait for others to get off before I get on?» Wonder no more folks! Sign up now and experience the newest ride on Oasis of the Seas — «Elevator Chaos!» You’ll enjoy being squashed like sardines as morons bum rush an opening elevator door before you can get off. «Sorry, this elevator is full» is simply a mere suggestion. While this ride may sounds like a lot of fun, trust that the UCLA womens volleyball team are not the people you will be riding with. As the live comedian on-​board stated (best part of the boat BTW): «You want privacy on this ship, use the stairs since no one else is…»
If your idea of fine dining is Village Inn, you will be thoroughly pleased by your food options while on the Oasis! Someone on Unilocal actually stated that the food is better than a Vegas buffet. A) If you have ever been to Vegas, some are OK, some are bad. Making food better than a Vegas buffet should never be that hard to accomplish. For example: two pieces of bread, a hot dog — Voila! B) I’ll take a Vegas buffet any day of the week over the food they serve on the Oasis.
The best «included» items you can get are chicken from room service and pizza in the mall — both are edible… Everything else is terrible. Do you love powdered eggs? I mean do you REALLY LOVE powdered eggs? Then sign yourself up for the next departure. You’ll enjoy all the powdered eggs you can eat for a week! You will also enjoy a «Formal» dining experience. Yea, the family next to you wearing jeans, I heart Nassau T-​Shirt and sneakers will be seated next to you. But hey — you look great!
After your date watches you eat, you’ll enjoy lip service from staff as your concerns pass into one ear, float through the dead air space where a brain should be located and fly out of the other ear. When you ask why only 1 of 2 people at your table was actually served the food they ordered — get ready for no one to care. And we were not the only ones this happened to. (true story). Just take your date to one of the many buffets, fight for a seat (if you can find one) and wait in line for 15 minutes for something bland and cold to choke down — you gotta eat something!
You know that relaxing feeling you get when you lay in a comfortable hotel bed? Well, don’t wait for that feeling on Oasis. You will enjoy 7 nights on a bed that resembles two wheel barrows parked next to each other. If your not sure you will enjoy this, sleep in your bathtub for a week. If you love it, call Royal and book the Oasis immediately! (I hope I can post pics on this review of our bed). Based upon the average size of most passengers, I can see how this happens to a mattress. However, it is far past time for replacements — VERY FAR.
Want to see Nassau but cant afford it? Just go to a US/​MX border town. Will be the same experience without the water. I guess if you are a diver it would be a cool place — under water, not actually looking at Nassau itself of having to shoe off peddlers every 3^rd step. If you’re already booked, just sleep in, stay on the boat, snap a picture from deck 16 and get drunk at the pool bar — your not missing anything. St. Thomas is awesome and even better is St. John if you want to ferry over. St. Maartin was a great stop as well.
The majority of the crew were nice and friendly. Some attitude from the dining hall which was infuriating. Bartenders were great and the only reason we did not jump over board and try to swim back home (buy premium & not ultimate drink package). Main gripe with Oasis is the sheer size of the boat. It is big and they slam as many people on it as possible. There are 2.2K crew members and 6K passengers. Feeding 6K passengers is obviously something Royal could care less about and it shows in everything they serve (unless you want to pay more — which is the catch. Reviews we got from others was that these restaurants were NOT worth the money so we did not bother).
Seriously regretting not going to a resort and GETTING AWAY from people.
Royals theme should be: «Get on the boat and spend more money!» Its just a giant floating mall with a pool. Not worth it!

Dining service was poor. So bad that one dinner at Giovanni’s with my parents, wife and kids, we considered getting off the ship at the next port. Most meals in main dining room were below average due to service. Bar service was generally unfriendly. I would highly recommend to friends they consider a different cruise line (or at least another ship) when booking their next vacation. It is a shame because ship was beautiful. I attribute the issues to poor management. Just FYI, we travelled on Allure of Seas (sister ship) in the past and had a nice experience. If traveling with Royal Caribbean, I would definitely recommend this Allure over the Oasis. I hear the brand new Norwegian Escape is a great alternative in large ship category.

Highly recommend! Everything is perfect! The boat, the food, the service, the cabin, the shows, and so on! Tips: 1: no need to pay extra for specialty restaurants because the compliment restaurants are already very good, and they are better than my exception. 2: shopping and tour in Bahamas are the least expensive.

Oasis of The Seas made me a believer!
I was skeptical about Mega Ships and cruising with 5000+ of other passengers and 2000+ crews. Imagine how crowded everywhere and all the lines to do anything?! But surprises, there were hardly any lines and everything so organized!
RCCL does such an amazing job in logistic and crowd control. I know something people get frustrated because everything seems to need a reservation: Dining and Shows. For someone like myself, I enjoyed doing all the pre planning and I like how I can be more in control of my everyday activities even before I board the ship.
And if you want, you can just book fixed dinning and do no planing at all. Quite a lot of people did stand by for shows and can get in with no problem. So really depends if you just want to chill or you want to do everything!
The ship has a lot of interesting area to explore. I like how the ship is break up into different neigbhourhood. Each has it’s different character and even each bar in the neighbourhood has a different theme and serves different drinks!
I don’t really care much about the ports. But since none of the ports are tender ports so I can get on and off the ships whenever and I usually do that when the gangway is not busy.
Since then, I have been on Allure of The Seas (Oasis Sister Ship) and had a great time. And this is probably my prefer ship class from RCCL.

There was a show onboard called the Oasis of the Dreams; this cruise could very well have been named that.
From the first step we took on the Oasis of the Sea’s Royal Promenade we knew we were in for a week of excitement and fun. And surely we weren’t let down. To me Oasis of the seas can be whatever you want your vacation to be, either complete relaxation or just lots of activities. We choose the middle journey and with tanned skin, 10 extra lbs of body weight and memories we shall cherish for long, we returned back to FLL.
The Ship:
When it comes to class I would give this ship a full 5 star rating. With 3 neighborhoods, two water activities decks, more than 5 shows, on this cruise ship boredom is a word that has no place. The cats show was cancelled but they more than made up for it by having Moya Angela come and perform her amazing singing talent. More than that the shows Come Fly with Me and Frozen in Time were nothing short of broadway and cirque du soleil style productions. So whatever you do don’t miss out on any shows.
The room service is also nothing short of what you will get at a five star hotel. They make the beds twice a day and surprised us with cute animal creatures made of towels. Though we were barely in the room but it was always nice coming back. Our room attendant Jenny was just so sweet. Even gave us tips for the ports and checked on us to make sure we were doing well and didn’t need anything.
Our cruise director Ricky was just a ball of energy, well more like a ripped muscle of energy. He kept people entertained throughout the journey with his funny liners and dance.
The food:
Better buffets than most Vegas Casinos, 24 hour cafés, three main dining rooms with servers magically working around thousands of guests yet making you feel you are at a five star dining, a park café located at the Central Park area with ocean breezes and live music; the list just goes on. Needless to say you won’t leave hungry, might gain 100 lbs though. Our seating host Mohammad and our other hostess (whose name I sadly I can’t recall) were so incredibly accommodating by giving us nice tables and prompt seating.
Ports:
Nassau was a disappointment but the good thing is they only dock there for a few hours. I would recommend getting off the ship and just strolling down the island for bit, just to be on land since the next port isn’t for another whole day. Other than that the downtown area was quite dirty. There is Atlantis on Nassau, but the resort charges a fee for the day pass, even if you just want to walk around. So if you want to enjoy their water park and other resort amenities then I would recommend getting the pass.
St Thomas was the most beautiful port on our journey. As soon as the island comes in sight you can tell from its green hills and crisp blue water that it will be a fun port. Here is where the ship docks for the longest. I would strongly recommend doing water sports at this island. We first walked to downtown and went for the 99 steps which had an amazingly breathtaking view from the top. We skipped the castle as I had heard that it wasn’t worth the time or price. Downtown St. Thomas has a lot of tent shops that sell brand knock offs, some you can’t even tell the difference. From downtown you can get lots of taxis to any where you’d like to go.
St. Martin — St. Maarten was again a very beautiful port. As soon as the ship docks you can take the water taxi to the downtown area where there are countless shops on the Front Street. If you really want to go check out the famous Maho Beach which is night next to the airport’s landing and you get to see airplanes barely 10 feet above making landing then do so but keep in mind that depending on the timing, if there are other cruise ships docked at that port then Maho Beach will be so crowded that you could barely walk around. What I would recommend is taking the city tour. I am not a big tour kind of person as I prefer going on my own but due to time shortage its more convenient. The French side of the island is a must see.
Overall I can go on and on but words can’t do justice to the experience we had on this cruise. It was worth every penny even though we went during the peak season.
Only recommendation I have is, if you don’t like being around too many kids and would prefer a slightly less crowded cruise then try cruising during end of Jan — May and then August to October. That’s when schools aren’t closed. But other than that it was a great experience and we are already looking forward to our next cruise.

I wish Unilocal had half stars my true rating is 2.5. I probably should have written this a year ago when I went on the cruise but I’m writing now. The ship itself is beautiful and big however the service and the staff for the most part sucked. Most of the employees seemed unhappy to serve you or if they did smile it did not seem sincere. With the exception of our state room attendant, one or two pool bartenders and the server at the private steak restaurant you could make reservations for (and pay extra). To me, the service can make or break getting back on the same cruise ship. I only had experience with carnival before so maybe I would have thought differently if I did not know how carnivals service has been. Also. the food was not very good at all. The only meals I remember being very good were at the restaurants in which you had to pay extra for. Entertainment was just ok. We also had an issue with a room credit promo we were supposed to receive but never did and the ship never fixed it even though we went to the customer service desk a couple times for them to tell us it would be researched and after waiting in line a long time.
I do remember filling out two of their surveys they sent afterwards thinking something would be done or offered and of course I never heard from Royal Caribbean even though I expressed my complete dissatisfaction with that ship and their employees.
The only reason why I give it 2 ½ stars is because the ship itself was clean and huge and pretty. If there was a separate meeting for the staff and food I would give it zero stars. Needless to say I won’t sail with them anymore unless I’m forced to.

The ship is beautiful and I can imagine those that have never been on a cruise ship before would adore it.
In fact, we enjoyed it.
However we have been on a TON of cruise ships and a lot with Royal Caribbean and the stuff we liked the most on this ship can be found on a smaller ship.
I suggest going on a smaller ship only because the size of this ship made EVERYTHING stressful.
The vacation with not relaxing because you always felt like you were fighting for your own personal space and vacation enjoyment.
We missed going to most of the shows because we weren’t in line on day one as soon as we got on the ship. We even booked these things online ahead of time BUT they changed all the show times and thus our reservations were canceled.
The pools were always crowded, almost every deck and location had people ALL OVER and you had to weave all around to get places. We had to eat dinner at 4:30 every night if we didn’t want to wait to be seated for 2 hours. The buffet was hard because there were always long lines and you had to fight for seats.
At night time you would see a lot of people behaving poorly (and I’m 22, recent college grad, I have seen lots of poor behavior and I’m definitely not a «prude») and it was just disappointing.
Additionally, don’t even bother trying to get the free things they offer throughout the cruise. We tried and then realized that people lined up for the shows for the free things 4 hours ahead of time! I don’t care how others spend their holiday, and maybe that’s worth your time… but this wasn’t Black Friday to me.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THE WATER SHOW!!! You can’t find that elsewhere and it’s pretty amazing!
Overall, I would recommend Royal Carribbean and cruising, but not this particular cruise, unless you don’t mind spending your vacation waiting in lines and having lots of inconveniences.
From a family of three– two adults aged 50 and their daughter, 22… world travelers and multiple times cruising.

Consider us NOT WOW’d — by any means…
First the pros:
The check in process was fast, easy and our Guest Services associate at check is was very nice. We were able to check-​in and board very quickly.
The ship is beautiful. It is large and you never felt crowded except while trying to get food.
Our stateroom attendant John was amazing. Our stateroom was always clean, well taken care of and looked great. He was very warm and welcoming and always had a smile on his face. He asked us each time he saw us how our day was going and if we needed anything. He did a great job setting up the room for Mark’s birthday and he even left us a bottle of champagne.
The Cruise Director Rickey was great. We really liked him. He was extremely fun and energetic. He had an amazing presence and did a great job and engaging the crowd. He and his staff were super.
Sabor Restaurant — Hands down your best dining experience on the ship. Best food, best price for the quantity (specialty restaurant). Service was good as well, except they took my drink when I was half way through it.
Next the cons and areas for opportunities:
Main Dining Room: My time dining — it is really their time dining. We waited between 25 – 40 minutes in line on three evenings. I do not consider this «My Time Dining». We were actually sat in another dining room two nights because of the wait.
*On two separate occasions we were brought into the dining room to be seated where there were already full tables. The hostess had to go back to the hostess stand and find another table to seat us at. There were also multiple dirty tables every time we were in there.
*Service was sub par at best. The wait staff seemed, for the most part less than thrilled to be there. You had to flag them down to get anything.
*Food Quality & Taste were poor. The first night we were in the Main Dining Room we had a steak and it was small, grey and had no color or flavor. It looked liked it was steamed and not «grilled to order». The same day I ordered Crème Bruele for dessert and it was warm, had no crisp sugar on top, was liquefied and had an oil layer on top — and it was still delivered to me. It was disgusting. It was only taken away after I said something to our server and she commented that «it didn’t look good».
*Service is extremely slow overall. On Thursday evening we ate in the Main Dining room again, and once we sat down, it took a while before anyone came over to even give us water. We were actually getting ready to get up and leave because no one had been over. We had been there between 15 and 20 minutes before anyone came over.
Pool Service: Poor — except for Orville and Hari. They were the best servers at the pool, other than that you almost had to chase down a server to get a drink, or just go to the bar. Servers don’t seem to care if they take orders or not, it was disappointing to say the least. I have never seen it that difficult to get a drink before on a cruise. It seems they sell the drink package, but then make it hard to even get a drink.
Park Café: Food is low quality cold. I ordered a grilled cheese pannini and a grilled cuban. The sandwiches were smaller than the palm of my hand and my sandwich was cold and the cheese was not even melted.
Room Service — We ordered Room Service to be delivered between 9:00 and 9:30, it arrived about 9:45 and there was hair in my sausage. Gross. I called Room Service to complain they came to get the food immediately.
Birthday Cake — Pre ordered and paid for: I ordered in advanced and then confirmed with Guest Services via email that this would be delivered at dinner on ¹²⁄₂ — boyfriends birthday — at whichever restaurant we were at. We had reservations at Chops Grill (specialty restaurant — cost extra) and at the end of dinner — NO CAKE. I had to go to Guest Services to complain about not getting the cake and ask for a refund. I was told we would get a refund. Today is ¹²⁄₁₆ and it is still no refund after I have spoken to four people and been told I would be refunded.
We purchased the Beverage Package. We ordered a coffee and baileys at dinner one night and we were not charged, then ordered one at the Promenade Café another night and we were charged. I went to Guest Services to question why we were charged in one place and not the other — they did not know and refunded the charge. Where is the consistency?
We saw CATS on night two. Just before the intermission, someone thought it would be a great idea to vacuum inside the theater near the back?! WHY? It made it difficult to hear the actors on stage.
We went to the Aqua Theater to possibly watch a movie — but how are you supposed to watch a movie when you have the theater roped off. There was no where to sit. So we left. All the seats at the top were full. What was the point in even showing a movie it you won’t open the seats to allow people to come in and watch it?
Overall, to many the cons outweigh the positives. We will stick with Carnival.

Oasis of the Seas is an incredible accomplishment in the cruising industry. Every aspect of the cruise experience was designed flawlessly on this ship and meticulously carried out by the staff. My greatest concern prior to my voyage was the possibility of long lines and overcrowded dining areas and entertainment venues. There was no need for my concerns. We boarded quickly and easily and our staterooms were ready at 1PM as promised. Reservations for all of the shows were completed prior to the cruise and I would recommend you do the same to assure you gain admittance. We enjoyed every show on the Oasis. Dining in the main dining room was excellent, only exceeded by the service. Alternate dining such as Park Café and the Solarium were equally as good. There were so many activities that our group enjoyed such as the surf and wave pool, zip lining, swimming at the numerous pools and hot tubs (especially at the Solarium) that made the Oasis experience unforgettable and one that I hope to soon enjoy again.

We just got off of a 7 night cruise on the Oasis and it was absolutely lovely! This is our second cruise with Royal Caribbean. Our first cruise with them was on a smaller ship and this time we wanted to try one of the mega ships. I was nervous about the amount of people on the cruise, but surprisingly there were very few times that we actually waited in line for anything. When you first get on the ship before the rooms are open and everyone is in the buffet, of course it is going to feel crowded. One or two days it was hard to get a chair right by the pool, but there were plenty of chairs on the upper deck which was nice because there is more of a breeze. We actually felt LESS crowded on this ship with more people than we did on the smaller ship less people. Since there is more to do, people spread out.
The food was good. We used the My Time Dining and picked our times ahead of time which was convenient because we didn’t have to wait in line and we got the same waiter every night. One night I couldn’t decide between two dinner options and our waiter brought me both without me asking. And one night he brought us an extra dessert to share. The room service menu is the same as it has been, somewhat small but decent and brought to your room, what more could you want. Drinks were great, expensive but everything I ordered was very strong.
Everything was very clean. From our room to the pools to the restrooms, even the dishes in the buffet. everything was clean. With over 6,000 people on board, messes happened. And people are so sloppy that they couldn’t even throw their garbage away, but they did an awesome job keeping up with the mess and they did it with a smile on their face.
We saw the water show and the comedy show. The water show had to be rescheduled but when we were able to see it, it was great. The comedy show was very funny! It warned you that it was for adults, and it definitely was! Great comedians! If you have a chance, try to make it to the Captain’s Corner. Very interesting! We peeked in at the Ice show, it looked good! I mean, how cool is it that there is an ice skating rink at sea?!
Overall, everything was absolutely wonderful. We can’t wait to cruise with Royal again. We probably won’t cruise with anyone other that Royal. My only complaint/​suggestion, the pillows could have been a little better! We were so happy with everything!

When it comes to a good pool side bartender on a cruise ship it’s best that you have someone like Steven Brown from Costa Rica. This guy took care of us everyday on our cruise to the Bahamas and back to the states.

This review is for the outstanding Chef’s Table dinner, even as the Oasis of the Seas is the most awesome cruising experience. We had Garett Craig, the Executive Sous Chef, and Srdjan Kovacevic as our Sommelier. What can I say? Outstanding service from our Table Master, Vane Penkovski. Excellent wine parings by Chef Garett and Srdjan, for our 5 courses. We started with a Lobster Martini Salad pared with a Prum Blue Riesling, then a Trio of Soup pared with a Mer Soleil Chardonnay Camus Reserve. We moved on to Seared Bronzino Fish Fillets pared with a La Crema Pinot Noir, then the Slow Roasted Beef Tenderloin pared with a Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon. We ended with a Banana Oreo Cookies Chocolate Mousse Bar pared with a Casablanca Valley, Chile, Errazuriz Sauvignon Blanc, which was almost an ice wine.
The entire menu was excellent, and by the Beef Tenderloin, we were all slowing down and relaxed and enjoying each mouthful with the outstanding Cab. The table setting was most impressive, with crystal for each wine selection.
The only suggestion would be to have a round table or a shorter rectangular table if the rectangular table we had isn’t full. The end people had a difficult time conversing with no one across from them.
All in all, an excellent dining experience.

My husband has been dying to go on this ship since they announced it a few years ago. I’ve got to say I was less than impressed. They managed to screw up almost every reservation we made ahead of time. A lot of the servers were awesome but quite a few bordered on surly and inattentive. The Schooner bar waiters and bartenders were particularly surly and it was almost impossible to get a drink there. The main dining room food was not very good but you could order ‘premium’ dishes for an extra fee. The best value we found was the Bistro at the Solarium. Our waiter Alexo was so attentive and remembered all of our favorites. Our other favorite was the hibachi restaurant. Our chef was amazing and so entertaining. The food was very good although once again our prepaid reservation had been messed up. We just felt that for atmosphere and fun we will cruise Carnival and royal Caribbean can keep its giant ship.

My husband and I are huge cruising fans. We love Royal Caribbean and we couldn’t wait to take a cruise on the Oasis.
First things first, the organization in this ship is amazing. The staff really know what they are doing… because managing 6000 people can’t be easy. Specially when we board the ship or get off.
The room was great, small but of course that’s expected lol and my husband surprised me with an Anniversary package so they decorated everything, and brought us a bottle of champagne and strawberries. It was a great start to a fantastic week!!!
The stops we chose were Haiti, Jamaica and Cozumel. I loved the fact that there are only 3 stops so you have a few more days at sea than normal. In this case I find that necessary considering how insanely huge this boat is.
The main restaurant was a little odd, we were all the way to the back… a little too secluded for my liking. I really like sitting in big tables with random people. It is fun to hear other people’s stories and whatnot. We were in a table for 2 and we didn’t get the same vibe as we always do in cruises.
All the other restaurants, we tried as many as we could… but I’m pretty sure we missed a couple lol.
The windjammer café was by far my favorite. The corn beef hash was the best!!!
We loved the water show, we really enjoyed walking around the promenade and the formal night, we really enjoyed ourselves and tried to enjoy the Casino as well.
However…
I knew it was going to be a big ship, but it felt way too crowded. A whole week of waiting in line to use the restroom at all times of the day got old. Whoever designed this boat was clearly a man. 3 stalls for women is absolutely idiotic.
I love Royal Caribbean and I love being able to say I experienced the largest ship on their fleet (well, or used to be the largest haha) but if I could do it again, I’d go on a smaller boat. Liberty of the Seas to me is the perfect size ship. It is half the size but still massive and with just as many amenities.
Reason why I’m saying this is because I feel like we didn’t get to experience as much as we would have liked. For example, the comedy show. We love to go to the comedy shows on the ships, but for this one? Everything was booked from the moment we stepped on board. We were not able to see the show. Also because the comedy club is so tiny! How can they build such a small venue in such a huge ship with so many people?
Also, the Casino, as big as it is in comparison to other ships… again, the boat is too crowded to be able to enjoy it properly. I love playing roulette, but all 4 tables were jammed packed all 7 days. I had the chance to play once.
Overall it was a good experience, we’d consider going on this ship again but we’d probably like to try out a different one.
We love Royal Caribbean.

Todo bueno, la pizza la pasta, el ambiente, la cordialidad de el cajero es increible, que manera de ser amable!
Bien por Foozo, hacia falta un lugar asi!
La pasta con salsa rosada A1.

Consider me WOW’d! I loved cruising on this ship and we had a fabulous vacation. The only negative thing I have to say is that there wasn’t enough time in the day to see everything, and I think I need to go again just to do that! The service was amazing, and the food was terrific. We were in a balcony room, and it was worth the upgrade. We didn’t really have issues with lines or crowds. A couple of evenings we had to wait for dinner, but no more than 10 minutes max. We both spent the first few days just wandering around and checking out the ship (she is truly beautiful).
Important tip: Try to book the shows and specialty restaurants on-​line before you sail, and what you can’t reserve, make sure to do that as soon as you board. If you want more info, check out the reviews/​tips on Cruise

Caribbean Sea
Our 6^th Cruise, 4^th RCL Ship, best one yet but we’ve not yet tried the quantum class. Great Ship, great fun. If you can swing it, pay the extra money for a suite. Great perks including 17^th deck Costal Kitchen and open bar. Once you get the Gold Suite card it’s tough to go back to being a commoner.
The emperor has no clothes, and Cats sucks! At least the comedy club comedians were able to get some good material, they just butchered it, hilarious.
Get up early and ride the Flowriders all by your self until the late morning crowds arrive.
Typical cruise food in the main dining rooms. The Sushi Place looked great but we ran out of days and didn’t get to try it, next time.

The ship had decent buffets. Opted for ultimate drink pack. The drinks were extremely strong and it was nice to try several items. Café promenade ended up being favorite spot for cappuccino (iced versions of coffee drinks w liquor were delic). Dining room staff were personable. Comedy shoes were hilarious. Book shows prior to departure. Most were booked once on ship. Central Park beautiful space in evening.

What more can I say but — this is a fantastic cruise ship.
We went on a week and stayed in a Central Park inside balcony view (12^th floor) as it was about $ 1,000 cheaper than an ocean balcony and this was already a very expensive New Year week. I was super happy with the room and even booked a NYE cruise for next year in the same type of room.
There are tons of things to do on the ship and you will never be bored. Also, do not be afraid of the size as it NEVER felt crowded other than the last day and leaving the ship.
The food options are plentiful and our favorite was the Sushi restaurant (small extra fee and you need reservations).
I ordered the Ultimate Drink package (about $ 400) and had so much alcohol that week that I lost count. I usually don’t drink that much, but unlimited is a nice perk to have.
