Royal Caribbean - Oasis of the Seas Reviews

Fun trip, but disappointed we didn’t get to do our excursion balloon ride!

Beautiful ship had a lot to do

Spendid ship with top notch customer service! Our family had an awesome experience a few weeks ago! The only thing that would have made it perfect was if Royal Caribbean could have controlled the weather! A Happy Cruiser

My wife and I enjoyed our vacation on this cruise. We did find the quality of the food to be poor. There was a noticeable difference between this cruise and our previous RR cruise from back in September 2022. This food review specifically refers to the buffet offerings and Main Dining. It felt like the cruise line cut corners as a way to save a buck. Surprise charges for food items that previously were included. We did invest in the dining package and had a better experience at the specialty restaurants. The Oasis of the Seas was a great experience as far as cruising on bigger ships. Never felt overly crowded although we confirmed there were about 6200 passengers onboard this cruise. The staff was absolutely wonderful and in many ways enhanced the overall experience.

As always Royal Caribbean cruise line gave us an awesome vacation. We spent 2 weeks aboard the Oasis of the Seas. 1st week was with family and the 2nd week by ourselves. Great weather, great food, great entertainment and awesome service! We cannot wait for our next sailing. We always use Susan Derrow from Avoya Travel. She has always taken good care of us. It's been 11 years that we've worked with Susan. We wouldn't think about going anywhere else.

We have been waiting on this trip. I was a little worried about the capacity because the excursions stayed sold out. Hoping they opened more spots by the time the trip got closer. It never did. We didn’t see any shows because they were sold out and even standing in the standby for 45 minutes we were turned away because of capacity. The service was subpar not because of poor service but simply because they were overwhelmed with how many people were on the boat. Our family trip was more disappointing than memorable.

The ship was fantastic. We did have a couple issues and a few challenges. I get heat induced migraines and was not happy to find out that my cabin's air conditioner didn't work. The first time I complained two guys came down worked about 15 mins on the a/c and told me they did everything they could. After waiting all night and into the next day there wasn't any difference. I complained again and a different person came. He looked at the fan and the blades and attachments were extremely dirty, he cleaned it all and puff I had air. My second issue I haven't gotten an explanation for, we couldn't dock at one of our ports. I totally understand the wind was really high. What I don't understand is how they refund the port fees. I have a balcony and was refunded $1.32 in port fees. I spoke with several others who had balconys, port holes and inside cabins and I had the lowered port fee reimbursed. The average was $10.00 when I inquired I was told the ship has no clue but everyone's fees are the same. Clearly they are not. My third issue was with the number of children they allow in the adults only area, including the breakfast area. I bring my kids at times but we eat in Windjammer or the dining room. When it is an adults only cruise, I expect the adults only section to be exactly what they say adults only. I could never get a table and had to eat by the pool with my breakfast plate in my lap because of the number of families waiting on their kids to eat. If taking kids in that area is acceptable then they need to remove the signs that say nobody under 16. Finally, I have mentioned this on every cruise. They amount of gluten free items they offer is very low. This time, I found out that the gluten free bread they are using is made with tree nuts. If you have allergies, exchanging one allergy for a different high profile allergy isn't nice to your guest. I sailed before 2020 and I am sailing now. I believe Royal still has a lot of work to do to get them back to the service we experienced before 2020.

We have been on 20 cruises over the past 30 years and this was one of the most disappointing experiences we have had. We have been on RCL twice before this cruise, The food was mediocre at best often cold and tasteless, The trivia games etc. were held in areas that were not big enough to accommodate the number of people trying to attend and the crew running these events could not speak proper English and were often very hard to understand. RCL closed the solarium Bistro for the entire cruise as it was rented by a private party. I will say that all of the crew were very friendly and helpful throughout the cruise. I think we will try another cruise line for our next cruise.

Good effort, but still lacking in meeting past performance. MDR menus reduced in selection, service cheerful but overbooked, internet still iffy, and signs of cost cutting becoming noticeable. Making an effort.

Had a great time, but the ship was a little to big for me.

Did not enjoy the “theme” dinner idea. Mexican night I chose corn cakes and tofu - awful.

Hated to miss coco cay.

Hello, This was the first cruise we've taken with Royal Caribbean. Our only other experience was Disney. While we did enjoy our trip, here are few things that would have made it better. 1. Knowledge of all the additional fees upfront. Example: wifi, alcoholic drink packages, non-alcoholic drink packages, gratuity, non-included restaurants. The bill received on day 1 was a shock! 2. Knowledge of the themed dinner attire. 3. Royal Caribbean app while on board was spotty regrading providing notifications, making it difficult to coordinate our group. Thanks, Ashley

All went well very happy with the trip!

We had an amazing time! The ship was beautiful!

Too crowded, poor entertainment Disorganisation
