nj356 Posted February 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hello My family and I will be on the OASIS at the end on May of this year, first time on a mega ship. For anyone who has been on this ship, what can we expect, activities, getting around the ship, food, what a cabin is like, we are on desk 7 with a baloney and things to do on board. Also any chance anyone has recent daily sheets that can be posted. I would like to get an idea on what goes on each day. We are looking forward to this cruise, it has been two years and we are ready to go. Thank you Norm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted February 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Been on Oasis ships quite a few times... Cabins are not all that different than other ships- the decoration is slightly different, and there's a real door on the showers, but the cabin is pretty much like all others. The size will be the big thing you notice, followed quickly by the realization that you can find alone space so easily among 6000 other passengers. The next think you will notice is there are not many obvious views of the sea... Like one of the most interesting places on the ship to us, Central Park, is very much on the inside of the ship. But it's pretty cool to be there. In terms of activities- like other big ships, there's an ice rink with a show, and the theater with multiple shows- but unlike all the other ships, the aqua theater is pretty cool- for sure shows you want to go see. The stand alone comedy theater and jazz club are also different than other ships. And having 2 flow riders gives you more opportunity to play on one. There's a lot on one of these ships- so you may need a second cruise to get it all.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj356 Posted February 21, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Thank you for responding. We have been on lots of Celebrity cruises, smaller ships and less to do, so this will be a big change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted February 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Since you have done more smaller ships, one big expectation change is from a cruise ship to a floating resort. If you expect that, then the lack of a lot of sea views gets muted. There are plenty of places to have great sea views- just not from places you would on more typical ships.

AJTWC Posted February 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I sailed on Oasis in 2010 (Inaugural season), Allure in 2014, and Harmony in 2019. When you hear 6000+ passengers, you assume that the ship will be super crowded. No way! There are so many places to go/be on the Oasis class ships. Best tip: on embarkation day, EXPLORE EXPLORE EXPLORE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexgtp Posted February 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Sailing our first Oasis class ship in April. Oasis OTS. As original poster posted, does anyone have any current Daily Sheets? Also the disembark info that is printed out. And Yes I know the TV show's the check out time. And Yes Biker! 🙂 I looked at the app , but I do not see many SHOWS/TIMES listed. So wondering why the Aqua theatre show times are not listed and why the Ice Skating shows are not listed or even some of the main theatre act's? Following this week's cruise, in app since it will be same itinerary we are sailing. But not much info for show's. for entertainment I see the usual: Misc Bands playing in the promenade, movies, music hall band, other misc. live music, game shows, DJ, club but no THANKS!!

Thank you Norm If you use aft elevators a lot be aware you can't get from the port bank to the starboard bank without going down to 6 or up to 8. Make sure you take the elevators on the side your cabin is located.😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shows aren't listed until you are on board - you have to look at the current sailing to see them. Even for that there are apparently some exceptions as on Symphony the app never shows them, even when on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG65CB Posted February 21, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2022 This "Live" review from Oasis a couple of weeks ago is great. Tons of photos, including photos of the Cruise Planner newsletter every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieJo Posted February 21, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2022 For anyone currently on the ship, is the Solarium Bistro open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG65CB Posted February 21, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Oasis-class the first time can be overwhelming. Don't try to do everything possible. Make sure you take the whole family to see the aqua show and the ice skating show! Go early in the week in case you want to see it again later.

Just got off the Oasis on Sunday Feb 20th. Solarium Bistro was only open for breakfast and brunch on our sailing. Food was fine...nothing exciting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
