rt1092 Posted January 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Just got back home. Cruise was great 95% excellent. Only 2 things wrong. Service was Great. Food was Great. Ship was Great. We have been on quite a few cruises so I won't pick one favorite, but the Oasis is in our Top 3 along with the Radiance, and the Monarch. Will post details tomorrow, just drove 550 miles, so I'm going to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCruzeaddict Posted January 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Glad you had a great cruise. Looking forward to reading the rest of your review. Hubby and I are sailing on Oasis in November. This cruise will be our first sailing with Royal Caribbean. You will LOVE Oasis! We've sailed on it twice. We had a Boardwalk Balcony aft. We were able to watch the Aqua Show from our balcony (sweet). A tip for you. If you don't want to eat breakfast in the Windjammer, Johnny Rockets serves made to order breakfasts (free) too! If you have questions, just ask! :) Joe<------Just countin' down the days! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rt1092 Posted January 22, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I've been busy learning how to download the pics from our new camera (Sony DSC WX 50) . Day one Parked at "Park and Go", got to terminal at 11:30. Not much of a line, on the ship quickly. Went to Windjammer not as crowded as I thought it would be. Food was excellent. I always try the "Honey Stung Chicken" I have found if it dry the rest of the food is going to be hit and miss. If it's moist the food is above par. It was cooked just right. And the rest of the food was great. After going to our stateroom 11729 (most aft boardwalk view) We opened the balcony door and saw what we had expected. A clear view of the aft of the ship and the Aqua Theater. Balcony was normal size but adequate for 2 people. 2 chairs and a table. One thing is they hid the electric outlets under the desk. It took a while to find them. We had early reservations for Chops (day one BOGO coupon). It was the way we remembered Chops when they first added them to the Voyager class. Went to the Frozen in Time show. (ice show) very enjoyable. Hit the casino and played blackjack for a couple of hours. Day 2 Nassau Went to the windjammer for breakfast food was great no made to order omlets or fried eggs, but both items were in the buffet. We stayed on the ship exploring. There is a lot to explore. We found the "hidden" balcony aft on deck 12 (right next to our cabin) There are about a dozen or more lounge chairs and we never saw more than 3 people there. We ate in the MDR were very happy with the food and service (we ate there the rest of the cruise, same table and wait staff). We had reservations for the Comedy Club that night found the announcer (don't remember his name, and the first comedian Kivi Rogers great the last comic was okay but not great (more to follow about him on day 7). Day 3 St Thomas. Been there more than we wanted to stayed on the ship. Went in the big hot tubs forward. Really nice. My mother-in-law had a great lunch in the Concierge Lounge (and didn't tell us about till 2 days later) We ate lunch in the Windjammer it was fine. We had reservations for Hairspray. Great show More than good it was downright enjoyable. Got to go eat now. More to come. Plus pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingbooboo Posted January 22, 2013 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2013 How did you get a BOGO for Chops? Was that cause it was the first night?

rt1092 Posted January 22, 2013 Author #17 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Got my days mixed up (senior moment) Day 3 was at Sea, Day 4 was St Thomas. Day 5 St. Marten. Had a bridge tour very happy with that, then went to the French side of the island. Took the bus, only $2 per person each way. It was nice to see. Nothing special. Had reservations for the Aqua show at 5 pm Great show. I amazed myself with the phots my $120 camera took Pics next post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rt1092 Posted January 22, 2013 Author #24 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Day 6 at Sea. Blackjack tourney, wife took second place. Discovered the Park Cafe Food was above excellent. Roast Beef was so tender I couldn't believe I was on a cruise ship and not in a Deli. They also have soups, panini's, salads and desserts. Come Fly with Me was in the Theater. We were going to skip it having seen so many production shows through the years. But I'm so happy we went. It was amazing. Some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
