Been on 4 cruises now (Freedom out of San Juan in 2018 and 2019, Oasis in 2021 and Adventure first week of July) and I was disappointed in some of the food for the first time on any of the cruises.  Ate at Chops which is always great, Main Dining Room and Giovanni’s Table.  Giovanni’s had a different menu than the last few times and some offerings were terrific (Gnocchi with Gorgonzola), but others were just OK and the desserts were below par.  The Cannoli was the smallest I’ve seen and there were a couple of other options that my family tried that were just bland.  I probably would not eat there in the future, didn’t differentiate from the fare in the MDR.  In the MDR, some meals were great, and for those who like Indian food, there was at least one Indian food entree on the menu each night.  The theme nights were, on average good, but they had a special July 4th menu that was not good.  They tried to pass off Corned Beef as brisket with something they called BBQ sauce.  I saw at least 4 other people send it back.  All in all, I was happy with certain things, but it seems to me that the overall quality of the food was not what it was even a year and a half ago.

1) Buy TWO proctored test kits per person. 2) Keep expectations in check. 3) Commit to being flexible. YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME!  Any break in one of those three legs and it won't work. That's is my advice. Currently, we are on our last day of a 7 nt. OASIS OS Western Caribbean and have had a fabulous time.

Update - Ice shows cancelled for the remainder of this voyage as well.  Down to comedians and musicians.  They’re playing movies in the Aqua Theatre this evening.

So far, on Oasis, yes.  Everyone wearing masks where needed.  Remember everyone, your crew’s livelihood depends on the ability to keep cruising.  I hate wearing a mask more than most, but I will not complain once on this cruise.
