we went on Oasis during the first year. LOVED it and have cruised RC many times!! Going back on it again and bringing the kids and grandkids. Glad there is an escape room, that's new! The Pros are great and what we always loved about that ship. The cons are not bad but I understand about the outdated little details. Thanks for your review and looking forward to more!!

Good info and tips on the ship. You should try MSC World Europa. They copied a few of the things from Royal Caribbean but makes it their own. That ship is beautiful

@@QCadventures The MSC World Europa was very good when it comes to food. Because this is a new ship, they have improved quite a bit in terms of food and customer service. I was pleasantly surprised and has no issues with them at all. FYI, the cruise with Royal Caribbean a lot and are picky about our food and service. I haven't yet cruise with celebrity but if I were going to rate the cruise line by choice, it would be Royal Caribbean follow by princess and MSC. They are tie. Then carnival. I don't even care for NCL
I greatly appreciate your honest review! Overall, still sounds like a great ship. I'm sailing on her for the first time in September.

Good reiew. We sailed on Oasis in December 2019 right after it had been refuurbished in dry dock. It would have been' helpful to note it's refurbishments, including pool deck slides, new furnishings on lido deck and the addition of Playmaker's Sports Bar to Boardwalk.

Yes I do! Brunch 9:30 to 1:30 on most days. An hour or so later on embarkation day. I don’t think they have brunch on port days. Dinner which has reservations starts at 5:30
I liked your video a lot, and you did give a lot of information. I wish you would have talked a little bit more about your own packages like the beverage package with alcohol included or did you get all of the meal packages?
We sailed on Oasis of the Seas on October 15. It was our first cruise and it was fabulous. However, I was disappointed because I looked forward to the Escape Room, but it was closed for the duration of our cruise. It was a let down! 😢 The Windjammer food was underwhelming, but the pastries were tasty. Now, the Crabcakes at the Main Dining Room was one of the BEST Crabcakes, I ever tasted. Unfortunately, it was served only one time during our cruise. Oh, another favorite was the Pizza at Sorrento. Our balcony room was superb! The housekeeper provided meticulous room service, with a delightful attitude. Yes, I would cruise again, not necessarily on the Oasis of the Seas...

Depends on your kids, early if they are early risers. If not, like 10 and 2 for daytime. Buffets are hard with littles anyway! They do have a beeper system for the omelets. So as a mom, I would say order your omelet or two, and then take your little around and once they have their first plate ready your omelet is done. Less waiting for you. And dare I say…. Hot food!! Enjoy!!

I’m looking at World Europa and Oasis , I haven’t decided yet. I’ve just taken Grandiosa MSC, shows were awesome. The food was too repetitive, 2 restaurants options (include 😮) Luckily we were on Aurea Class, so we had access to a menu breakfast , flexible hours at lunch /dinner time. Otherwise it would have been more frustrating

@@QCadventures I ended up picking MSC Aurea . Which is a bit better than ‘regular cabin’. The itineraries are pretty similar. We’re going to be at an event in Barcelona that ends on May 31st and World Europa departs exactly on that day. If I should take any other company I’d have to stay there waiting for the 🚢. As we know Spain quite well it would be boring. I hope everything will be all right 😉 .
I agree with almost all your points. Great review. The fact that there are no plug outlets anywhere besides the desk was my big show stopper.

Thanks for posting! I am considering the Oasis for a July 2025 sailing date but I’m concerned with the age of the ship. Your cons such as the *AC*, smaller TV, etc would also be cons for me. I was also considering the Harmony which is a newer ship for that same timeframe but I prefer Oasis’s itinerary over Harmony’s..😓🤷🏽♂️

Did they have both sides of the Windjammer open? When we sailed on Oasis back in October they would only have half of it opened with the other side closed with the exception of debarkation day which they opened both sides. Also we were in a balcony room as well on deck 9 and the AC was not the greatest. I’m bringing a portable fan when I sail on her again in August.

I enjoyed my cruise, which was on the Oasis of the Seas. Everyone made you feel like family. If you would like to buy them a new ship or design it for them, go for it. You can't make people happy all time. We like that they had venues in the middle of the ship ... some people do get motion sickness, and no I'm not one of them. Just because my experience on the Oasis of the Seas, was wonderful, they have me and my family taking another cruise.

Enjoy your first cruise!! Find out when on line check in is, and be early getting on there and checked in. That helps you get a early boarding time and you can eat lunch and see the ship while there are less people around. Pick a thing or two you want to do, and then wing the rest of it. Don’t over plan yourself!! Have breakfast in the main dining room at least once!!! Enjoy!!

Pleanty of people watch it to unwind especially on longer voyages. Obviously nobody books a cruise with the express intent of watching tv but especially if your sailing with children or people who can’t handle the constant sensory battering of the ship the tv will be used.
