We did that escape room on oasis and your 100% right it's mine boggling. Were on oasis in 33 more days for transatlantic cruise. Where going from Barcelona to Florida for 15 days. Staying in Barcelona the week prior 5 days before to just hang out in beautiful Barcelona. Yes the TVs are way small but she's going into dry dock in 2 weeks and rumor has it all new carpets new paint new TVs. 🤞
we went on Oasis during the first year. LOVED it and have cruised RC many times!! Going back on it again and bringing the kids and grandkids. Glad there is an escape room, that's new! The Pros are great and what we always loved about that ship. The cons are not bad but I understand about the outdated little details. Thanks for your review and looking forward to more!!
Good info and tips on the ship. You should try MSC World Europa. They copied a few of the things from Royal Caribbean but makes it their own. That ship is beautiful
@@QCadventures The MSC World Europa was very good when it comes to food. Because this is a new ship, they have improved quite a bit in terms of food and customer service. I was pleasantly surprised and has no issues with them at all. FYI, the cruise with Royal Caribbean a lot and are picky about our food and service. I haven't yet cruise with celebrity but if I were going to rate the cruise line by choice, it would be Royal Caribbean follow by princess and MSC. They are tie. Then carnival. I don't even care for NCL
Thank you for your review ,, Kindly how was your experience on the sofa bed converted to a bed in the evening is it enough for tow kids 8 & 10 Years old is it comfortable ?
Thank you for the great review We be going on it in 10 days time Can you please advise if we should buy the drinks before hand also is there soft free drinks for the children? Thank you in advance
Soft drinks are not free. You can have water juice iced tea and hot tea and drip coffee for free in the windjammer buffet anytime it is open. RC does sell a soda pass and a pass that all non alcoholic drinks.
Yes she is a great ship! We had a blast and would book on her again. The cons are just things to note and would not prevent me from recommending the ship.
Good reiew. We sailed on Oasis in December 2019 right after it had been refuurbished in dry dock. It would have been' helpful to note it's refurbishments, including pool deck slides, new furnishings on lido deck and the addition of Playmaker's Sports Bar to Boardwalk.
I haven't been on Oasis of the Seas in years, but I have a sailing planned this year. I've been on several of the Oasis class ships and Oasis has the largest Solarium. I heard she was refurbished in 2019. I experienced the Crown Lounge on Freedom of the Seas and it was fantastic! I sat there almost every day reading and looking out over the ocean and really enjoyed it. It's too bad they put the lounge for the higher loyalty tiers inside with no windows now. Compared with the newer ships, the thermal suite is also a disappointment on Oasis. Four heated loungers, two saunas and a rain shower are not worth $99/week. I'm really glad to hear the food is good since I'll be on the ship for two weeks. Thanks for the info!
Do they still have the semi-formal dinners in the dinning rooms? I went on this back in 2012, and we're going back on it this year. Just curious! Thanks for the info!
Yes they do! The names for formal night have changed but there is always an opportunity to dress your best. Some are less formal, but the great part is all dress super-formal to not is welcomed. No one is out of place.
love your review! going july 28th. also concerned about the crowd in the windjammer…we have little ones and know that we will be going there frequently. do you recommend a time to go?
Depends on your kids, early if they are early risers. If not, like 10 and 2 for daytime. Buffets are hard with littles anyway! They do have a beeper system for the omelets. So as a mom, I would say order your omelet or two, and then take your little around and once they have their first plate ready your omelet is done. Less waiting for you. And dare I say…. Hot food!! Enjoy!!
@@QCadventures Thanks so much!!! great tip! I’m the early riser, but they tend to sleep in. 10a sounds perfect or maybe we’ll try the dining room or johnny rockets for breakfast on port days when we need to wake up early.
I liked your video a lot, and you did give a lot of information. I wish you would have talked a little bit more about your own packages like the beverage package with alcohol included or did you get all of the meal packages?
We sailed on Oasis of the Seas on October 15. It was our first cruise and it was fabulous. However, I was disappointed because I looked forward to the Escape Room, but it was closed for the duration of our cruise. It was a let down! 😢 The Windjammer food was underwhelming, but the pastries were tasty. Now, the Crabcakes at the Main Dining Room was one of the BEST Crabcakes, I ever tasted. Unfortunately, it was served only one time during our cruise. Oh, another favorite was the Pizza at Sorrento. Our balcony room was superb! The housekeeper provided meticulous room service, with a delightful attitude. Yes, I would cruise again, not necessarily on the Oasis of the Seas...
Yes I do! Brunch 9:30 to 1:30 on most days. An hour or so later on embarkation day. I don’t think they have brunch on port days. Dinner which has reservations starts at 5:30
It depends on where you are cruising and how much you drink? Caribbean, I tend to say yes, Europe or Asia I tend to say no. We can discuss further if you need.
Thanks for posting! I am considering the Oasis for a July 2025 sailing date but I’m concerned with the age of the ship. Your cons such as the *AC*, smaller TV, etc would also be cons for me. I was also considering the Harmony which is a newer ship for that same timeframe but I prefer Oasis’s itinerary over Harmony’s..😓🤷🏽♂️
Where was the chef's table dinner held? We did in 2019. It was in the suite holder's lounge. This took away from the experience because there were several loud conversations in the lounge.
We did it last month. It was a nice venue. It was only us and one other couple (4 people total). It was a special experience and highly recommend it.@@QCadventures
Did they have both sides of the Windjammer open? When we sailed on Oasis back in October they would only have half of it opened with the other side closed with the exception of debarkation day which they opened both sides. Also we were in a balcony room as well on deck 9 and the AC was not the greatest. I’m bringing a portable fan when I sail on her again in August.
I’m looking at World Europa and Oasis , I haven’t decided yet. I’ve just taken Grandiosa MSC, shows were awesome. The food was too repetitive, 2 restaurants options (include 😮) Luckily we were on Aurea Class, so we had access to a menu breakfast , flexible hours at lunch /dinner time. Otherwise it would have been more frustrating
@@QCadventures I ended up picking MSC Aurea . Which is a bit better than ‘regular cabin’. The itineraries are pretty similar. We’re going to be at an event in Barcelona that ends on May 31st and World Europa departs exactly on that day. If I should take any other company I’d have to stay there waiting for the 🚢. As we know Spain quite well it would be boring. I hope everything will be all right 😉 .
I enjoyed my cruise, which was on the Oasis of the Seas. Everyone made you feel like family. If you would like to buy them a new ship or design it for them, go for it. You can't make people happy all time. We like that they had venues in the middle of the ship ... some people do get motion sickness, and no I'm not one of them. Just because my experience on the Oasis of the Seas, was wonderful, they have me and my family taking another cruise.
I want to do the captains table. This is my very first cruise me and my teenage son I'm very excited I have been watching videos intently and taking notes. Any other pointers for a first timer
Enjoy your first cruise!! Find out when on line check in is, and be early getting on there and checked in. That helps you get a early boarding time and you can eat lunch and see the ship while there are less people around. Pick a thing or two you want to do, and then wing the rest of it. Don’t over plan yourself!! Have breakfast in the main dining room at least once!!! Enjoy!!
Thanks for sharing! I agree! It hard to believe that 2009 could make that much difference. Still a great time, but it’s definitely telling its age in those small areas. Celebrity is my next cruise, please subscribe to come along on my next cruise!!
I'M GOING ON OASIS OF THE SEAS IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR.. I'M SOOO EXCITED!!! MY SON AND DAUGHTER IN LAW JUST GOT BACK THIS WEEK AND SAID IT WAS AMAZING!!!
Pleanty of people watch it to unwind especially on longer voyages. Obviously nobody books a cruise with the express intent of watching tv but especially if your sailing with children or people who can’t handle the constant sensory battering of the ship the tv will be used.
Lots of people watch TV just before bedtime. If you don't like a big TV then your one of the very few. When I book a hotel and it has a small old TV I don't go back.

Thanks for your Honest review I am cruising on her in October and I can't wait sounds like a great ship
Hope you enjoy it! We did!!
I greatly appreciate your honest review! Overall, still sounds like a great ship. I'm sailing on her for the first time in September.
Yes she is a great ship! We had a blast and would book on her again. The cons are just things to note and would not prevent me from recommending the ship.
I'm going on Sept 17th from NJ 😊
me too sept 10
Fabulous. I hope you had a great time.
I'm hoping to boom for summer best year (2024)

Sailing on her in August 27th from Bayonne, New Jersey Port Liberty😊😊😊
I’m so excited for you!!! You are gonna have a blast!!!
We got off on the 27th
Hi!! Thanks you for your review.. is the escape room much of language dependent?
The questions were math and pattern based. You do work as a group. I hope that helps.
Do they still have the semi-formal dinners in the dinning rooms? I went on this back in 2012, and we're going back on it this year. Just curious! Thanks for the info!

We love Royal Caribbean they have one of the best crews at sea. Everyone on board is so nice and helpful.

Yes, I would cruise again, not necessarily on the Oasis of the Seas...
Great comment! I can’t wait for your next cruise. I have a new video out today.
Thanks for sharing! By any chance do you remember the solarium's buffet operation hours during your sailing?
Yes I do! Brunch 9:30 to 1:30 on most days.
An hour or so later on embarkation day. I don’t think they have brunch on port days. Dinner which has reservations starts at 5:30
Great review! Looking forward to sailing with her on july 7th.
Thanks!! The good things far outweigh any minor age indications!!! You are almost there!! Enjoy your trip. Let me know how it goes!!!

She is still a fun ship. I always go first a good iten!! Enjoy and thanks for watching. I have a new celebrity vid out today.
@@QCadventures 🙏🏾😊
I'm going July 26 2025 because of itinerary Oasis is going to be just fine
Where was the chef's table dinner held? We did in 2019. It was in the suite holder's lounge. This took away from the experience because there were several loud conversations in the lounge.
It was in the solarium bistros private room. It was beautiful and quiet📀
We did it last month. It was a nice venue. It was only us and one other couple (4 people total). It was a special experience and highly recommend it.@@QCadventures
I agree. It’s not talked about much. We were asked by a cast member and booked it the same day. There were 8 of us and we were the only ones there.
My first cruise with Royal Caribbean is on this ship 8/27/23. I’m looking forward to it! Thanks for your video.
Have fun! Enjoy every minute. I have a celebrity cruise coming up, so subscribe to see more!!
I was on that same Cruise room 10176 I agree with everything that you said.
Thanks!!! Wish we were both still on the ship!! Lol!! Thanks for watching and commenting, I have a celebrity cruise coming up, so sub to see more!!

Yes both sides were open and they were exactly the same. I can’t imagine only one side with the amount of people! Thanks for watching!!!
Going on Oasis the 4th time next week. Love the service, entertainment & foods. Newer RCL ships not as good.
Totally agree!
sailing on Oasis in September. I worked at NASA so I will check out the escape room.
As a sci if nerd. I loved it! I hope you do also!!
Great Review! new subscriber here from UK! 👍
Thanks for the sub! I followed you back!!! My next cruise is coming fast in Celebrity!
I’m looking at World Europa and Oasis , I haven’t decided yet. I’ve just taken Grandiosa MSC, shows were awesome. The food was too repetitive, 2 restaurants options (include 😮) Luckily we were on Aurea Class, so we had access to a menu breakfast , flexible hours at lunch /dinner time. Otherwise it would have been more frustrating
I loved the food on Oasis, there were a lot of options included in your fare. How do the itineraries compare?

I agree with almost all your points. Great review. The fact that there are no plug outlets anywhere besides the desk was my big show stopper.

Awesome!!
Thanks for the honest review!
Always! thanks for watching! New crusie coming soon… to Greece!! Subscribe if you’d like!
I had no problem with the tv
I didn’t either. We never turn it on. But some people like and do watch stuff on vacation so in point it out.
Solarium is great !! I was on ship in sep 3021, and will be on ship July 21st,,, you cons are not cons, just your opinion
Thanks. I loved spending time there too, the bar tender on the second level was
Great also.
Too Large
Who goes on a cruise to watch tv???? So the tv is small, they s doesn’t even deserve to be mentioned , this is not a con.
I’m not one of them, but there are people who do like to watch movies etc in their room. Thanks for the comment.
Pleanty of people watch it to unwind especially on longer voyages. Obviously nobody books a cruise with the express intent of watching tv but especially if your sailing with children or people who can’t handle the constant sensory battering of the ship the tv will be used.
Lots of people watch TV just before bedtime. If you don't like a big TV then your one of the very few. When I book a hotel and it has a small old TV I don't go back.
The size of the T.V.....
😮😮😮
Right!! Lol!!
