Is the buffet the same as the oasis cafe? What exactly is the oasis cafe?

Hi aco44:)

 

Each ship's Buffet area has a different name. So yes the Oasis

is Galaxy's buffet area.

Mercury's buffet is called the Palm Springs

and Century is called The Islands.

(just to give you 3 examples:) )

[Dona March]

The Oasis cafe is in the aft of the ship differant from the buffet area, they also have a covereed pool there and tables and chairs, they are 2 differant areas.

[TexBecks]

Dona, thanks for the good info about the food. Sounds delish! We're doing an Eastern Med cruise in November, also on the Galaxy. Do you have any particular highlights from any of the ports you visited? Anything that you'd recommend that others see?

 

How did you like the on-board activities for the Galaxy?

Unless they've done a refurb since last May, Lois is correct. The Oasis Cafe is the buffet/cafeteria area. Aft of that is the indoor covered Oasis pool area and further aft is the outdoor deck area with tables, etc.:

On the Galaxy where the indoor pool is located is a Pizza and pasta station, in the morning they serve pancakes, waffels, and french toast there, whatever the name is I just got off the ship 2 days ago and believe me it was there. the buffet area is differant, and out by the ocean pool is the grill 3 differant areas.

As far as to the ports, my 2 favorite were Messina Wine in Sicily and the Drive along the Amailfi Coast we did Positano, Ravello. and Amalfi than Pompeii what a great day, I did a short reveiw for Cruise Critic you should be able to read it if you go into reviews. Santorini Greece is great with a visit to Oia.

Have a great time.

As for in board activities we did bingo one time , we liked being at the pool getting involved in the line dancing was fun we more or less relaxed on the ship it is a port intensive cruise.

You will love the ship there are many things to do if you wish.

Enjoy your trip.

Could you tell it had been renovated, particularly the public spaces and the cabins.

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the food info. Are there restaurants for a sit down and served breakfast and lunch?

[Dona March]

charlemj-The ship looked great our cabin was clean the carpet new, the public areas all looked great I did not see any wear and tear. The crew were always cleaning something on the ship.

June1- Yes the Orion rest. is the sit down resturant we did not get there for breakfast, however we had all of our dinners there it is quite lovely, the service was outstanding.

Your Welcome

You are correct the Oasis cafe is the buffet area, I was gettingit mixed up with the station where the Oasis pool is lacated, sorry for the confusion think I was still jet lagged:confused:
