Oasis of the Seas - Anyone been

[Bribie Cruisers]

Just wondering if anyone has been on the Oasis of the Seas, thinking of doing something extreme, I know it wouldn't be everyones cup of tea but the experience of the sheer size would be something else. Worth going all that way?

I'm going all that way to do the MAriner of the Seas :D. I don't know anyone who has been on it from Australia but I do know some who are booked to go later this year.

 

I say go for it :).

Reading the Members Reviews of it on Cruise Critic,

makes you want to rush to nearest TA and book.

It sounds an awesome expeience.

 

We flew over to UK to sail on QM2,

and while we were there tucked in a Baltic cruise as well.

 

If you are flying all that way for just 1 week,

you could maybe look to doing another cruise as well.

Some of those Caribbean cruises are as cheep as.

Doing B2B in Sept Eastern then Western Caribbean. Should be a blast. Agree long way for 7 days so we are going for 14

Thats the way to go.

We had friends who had enough air points to fly return to Fort Lauderdale, so they flew in a few days earlier for their booked cruise, had an open return date on the flight tickets, and went to local TA's and booked a last minute real cheap cruise for when the first one returned. Got off that and climbed on board another.

Last Saturday 7 ships, including Oasis sailed from Port Everglades, at Fort Lauderdale, so there are always amazing deals to be had.

We are going April 17th this year and are really looking forward to it!! The reviews do make it sound like an amazing adventure. Not sure whether we will actually get off at this stage. We wouldn't fly all that way for 7 days either, so we are doing a b2b on Jewel of the Seas before Oasis. We have one day between our second Jewel cruise and Oasis. It is expensive though - cost us more to do Oasis than either our Jewel 10 and 11 day cruises. But my husband picked up an Oasis book on Rhapsody last April and he has been talking about it ever since.

 

I'll post here when we get back to let you know if it lives up to expectations and how we felt about cruising with 6000 other passengers!!

Thanks for your responses, yes it sounds pretty awesome, great idea for B2B cruise or catching something else after travelling all that distance, will look forward to any reviews, I hope the Aud stays up there for you and have great time. :)
