firegal2539 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Everyone on this blog talks about the Oasis OTS as the best of the best. Can all of you please explain why you love this ship so much? What is it about her that makes all of you RAVE so much. When you answer I guess I will have to start looking for a cruise on her.

Laurac22 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 For us, it is mainly for our son? He gets bored on a ship that doesn't have a lot to do. We love the shows, different neighborhoods especially Central Park. The size of the ship and openness works well because my son is in a wheelchair and it's easy to get around. My husband and I prefer a ship with better access to seeing the water, but we like Oasis class as well. You can't go wrong with this class.

WAAAYTOOO Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Candie, have you been on any of the Oasis class ships before ? The Oasis and Allure are pretty much identical with a couple of very small differences (Solarium Bistro vs Samba Grill) so if you're raving about the Oasis you're probably raving about Allure too. These ships have some very unique "neighborhoods" like the Boardwalk, which is exactly what it sounds like....a small beach boardwalk area - open to the sky above. Really unique. Then there is the Central Park area that is an onboard garden. Lovely and peaceful. There are 2 Flowriders if that is of any interest to you and a zip line. Fun for the kids...not necessarily for me ! There is the ice skating theater which is fun and the shows are top notch. The ships are massive. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. Some people don't like the really big ships. I love them. So much to do ! Of course, for ME the best part is that these ships have the largest casinos in the fleet. They are very nice.

AGSLC5 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 For me I love Oasis class because of the wonderful entertianment, food options, and large casino.. I think the shows on Oasis class and Quantum class are top notch and I cant wait for Harmony.. I am someone who likes specialty restaurants so for me i like that there are about 20+ restaurants.. and again the casino is the best in the fleet.. going on Oasis in 63 days...

firegal2539 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thank you all and Raye. I guess I am going to have to book a cruise on her or the Allure. I haven't been on this class of ship. I have been on the Serenade, Explorer, Adventurer, Jewel, and Voyager. That is it. Since I am sailing on Empress in two weeks I will book an Allure or Oasis cruise and get the OBC credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 While people rave about the Oasis class, there are also many who think the Voyager and Freedom classes hit a sweet spot between size (not being too big) and the number of activities and dining options offered onboard. For example, Matt's favorite ship is the Navigator, likely followed by the Freedom, although like most of us he'd sail on any Royal ship if given the chance.

arebee Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Mine would have to be (in this order) Freedom and Radiance class. Wife likes the Oasis class but the are too big for me (reminds me of my Navy days). Haven't tried the Voyager class yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegal2539 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks for all of the information. You people are just so knowledgeable and help a lot. Does anyone that lives in Florida, (arebee, AGSLC5, Matt), want to adopt me so I can sail and not pay air fare? I would appreciate it.

AGSLC5 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Firegal, living in Florida is what helps me be able to cruise 3-4 times a year.. That air fare savings is key... except this year i will be flying to cape liberty for a 9 night Canada New england on Anthem.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegal2539 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 So AGSLC5 your saying you want to adopt me. Great! Send me your address so I can start packing and sell my house. Yeah!!!! WAAAYTOOO and AGSLC5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
