This is the 3rd Christmas cruise in a row on the Oasis, and although there has been thorough enjoyment on all. However, this one was over the top, the best. Can't put my finger on what made this year different, except that it was - from check in to departure. We embarked the ship with no waiting - went to our cabin and our luggage was already there!
RCCL went out of their way to make sure passengers enjoyed their experience. It was a happy ship.
The cruise director was experienced and knew what he was about. Handled himself in a most professional manner. He hosted a "chat" with Capt. Petersen which was most enjoyable. The Capt. was relaxed with the group and easy to talk with. There was excellent interaction and rapport with him for a good hour.
Cabin was spacious, conveniently located, well appointed with a lovely balcony, great closet and more than enough storage space in cabin. A/C worked very well. Cabin steward, Ericson, was most accommodating and efficient. Coffee and hot water pot were a God send.
