I have been on both ships as well, more NCL because when I first started cruising some 30 yrs ago they had a sea savor program whereby just before you cruised for a cheap rate you went the week they told you and where they told you. The best part was if you joined their snorkeling program from the start of the cruise you did so at every port and I loved that aspect- now being in our early 50s too we tried the Oasis of the Seas last year and thought it was wonderful however this year we are back to NCL on the Getaway- we love the newer ships and if you go on the Epic which is fairly new you will love it as much as the newer Royal ships. The older ships aren't the same anymore, no enough selection of places to eat, the shows aren't nearly as good and just overall the newer ships have so much to offer- so if you go on NCL's Epic or newer ships you will like it no doubt!
