Oasis of the Seas Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Don't get me wrong; Oasis is lovely ship and we enjoyed our time onboard greatly. The thing is just that it was so overwhelmingly big, posh, full of options that it was somewhat confusing.
I loved my 8th floor JS on the hump. I even took a power nap one afternoon lying on the bed at the balcony. So enjoyable. I loved the location of 8th floor - we walked through Central Park several times a day. Park Cafe breakfast was so close, and Trellis bar, too. That was our spot for the pre-dinner drink as well as the last of the evening.
Evidently there was close to 8000 people on board if you count both passangers and staff. Where were they? We did not queue much, there was no waiting to elevators, coming in and out of the shows or the MTD was a breeze. I remember getting pushed in a line only once; when exiting to Cozumel and we had ship sponsored shore excursion. But it took like 5 mins to get out of the ship and into the ferry (we went to see Tulum Maya ruins - excellent trip, can recommend).
Cabin Review
8242 is in the hump. It has a connecting door to the next JS, but we did not hear the other passangers at all. Once somebody checked if the door was closed, and that 's that - I do not even know if they ever went to the balcony, but we were there a lot. For breakfast, for snack, for evening drinks and for power naps in the afternoon. Oasis docsk most times to the other side - so we got plenty of sea views!Lovely bed, big enough bathroom with a tub and the walk in closet, which is the best thing about the JS. Deck 8 is excellent location wise, as you can walk through Central park and not the corridors. I would choose that deck and that cabin in a heartbeat again.
