I did a b2b last summer and this October a b2b since she is leaving our area Symphony is her replacement and 1/25 Odyssey ;they are all beautiful ships my favorite cruise line
I've never done a b2b cruise, I guess that would be good for relaxing instead of rushing to experience everything. Royal Caribbean does go to lengths to make everything the biggest and best they can. 😀 My husband thought that 7 days was the perfect length. (We tend to miss our own beds and home if we are away too long)
I wish we were more social with people on our sailing, but running around with an energetic 6 year old made it hard to sit and chat. The Oasis is special, and it was our first time on Royal Caribbean, too. :)
I was watching and surprised to see that you had the exact cabin that my family and I are booked for on a cruise next month. Any comments or complaints about the cabin? Be it the room itself or its location on the ship. Thanks for the video.
It's awesome that it's the same cabin! It was a pretty great room in good shape, and the view was wonderful. The biggest issue was the divider on the balcony towards the bow... it isn't secured as well as it could be, and you can hear it banging from inside the room. Especially with the wind. We had a white noise app running every night, so it didn't bother us too much. My #1 tip is to ask for a mattress topper ASAP. I swear they keep the beds hard to get guests to not stay in their rooms.
May I ask what time you actually arrived to drop bags, what time your entry was scheduled for, and when you actually got ON? thanks!!! Looks like a great time!!
We arrived around 9:30 am because we are perpetually early for everything. Our time slot was 10:30. We were on about 10:40 ish. My husband dropped us at the bag drop (our son needed the bathroom), and people were walking right into the Terminal. The worst part was waiting for my husband to park. (Took about 45 minutes) Everyone had to leave from the previous cruise before the new crowd could park. Then they would let 1 car park and unload everything before they let the next car park. The security line was minimal. They had everyone sit in chairs until 10:30. Overall, we ended up waiting 5-10 minutes after 10:30 for the people before us to be let on, and then it was a walk on. The cruise was amazing, and the Oasis was a ton of fun. If you are cruising on her, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. 😀
Wow we were on that same cruise. I kept looking for us in the video, lol. It was an awesome experience minus the storms in Port Canaveral. What was your favorite part of the cruise?!
It's awesome that we were on the same sailing! Florida was a wash, but we got to admire the Wonder of the Seas before the storm hit. It's so hard to choose 1 favorite thing... if I had to choose It would be our experience in the first row of the Aqua 80's show. The Abyss was so much fun. It put a smile on my face when we saw the piano played in the elevator a few times. Favorite port, hands down, was Coco Cay. We had access to Thrill Water Park, but we also visited a few other locations. Oasis Lagoon was more fun than I thought... a lot of people dancing around in the pool was an infectious feeling of happiness. I also chuckled when I saw the photographers fully professionally dressed wading through the lagoon pool to take pictures. What was your favorite part?
@delauraserenity I agree with so much of what you said. I caught the elevator piano guy a couple of times. My teens loved that. The Aqua show was amazing. We were on standby but got in no problem. While my partner was playing Bingo in the AquaTheater, I was busy doing the Abyss about 10 times. Coco Cay was wonderful. We did hit the lagoon and my seapass card wasn't working for some reason, but the pool bartenders were awesome and gave me drinks anyway. Fav part of Coco Cay though was snorkeling with my stepdaughter. We went out pretty far and saw a stingray and an octopus. On the ship though honestly the mini golf was so fun as a family! We were in the Solaruim Hot tubs when we left Nassau and got to watch an amazing sail away from the hot tub! The food overall was pretty good. Everyone looked amazing for dress your best night. We are heading out on Anthem's Christmas Cruise on Dec 24th next!
@kinjus0675 I agree. The staff were all super nice and helpful to the point of bending over backward to help people. We heard a lot of passengers complaining about crowds and food, but we thought the food was good, and if it's crowded, try that activity at an off peak time. 🤷♀️ The elevators got super busy, and we did a lot of stairs at peak hours, i can see that being an issue with people on scooters or wheelchairs. Overall, it was a great experience on our end. I do have more videos coming out for our sailing, but mostly, I tried to just enjoy our time on the cruise. I hope you enjoy your next cruise as well. :)

Boarding Dec 10th in Miami, excited because it is my first cruise ever. But also quite neverous because I am currently solo cruising.
That is exciting, enjoy the cruise! Oasis is awesome, and maybe you will meet some fun people. :)
@delauraserenity Thanks!
We were on the same cruise as well!! This was my first cruise on Royal Caribbean and it was so much fun. This ship is something special❤

Great video! Where did you guys stay? We are leaving next month for Oasis. Thanks!
Thanks! We stayed at Hyatt House in Jersey City. Enjoy your cruise. The Oasis was so much fun!
