OK other than an Alaskan cruise someday, my dream cruise has been to go on one of the huge ships Allure/Oasis. They look so cool and have so much onboard.

 

But.

 

I was reading some reviews on the negative side of the house and now I am worried that my dream would be shattered when we can finally swing one of these monster ships. Especially from folks that have cruised on other ships I saw complaints about the comparatively small dining areas and long lines for practically everything. I even heard you have to reserve shows before you even sail or you are out of luck. And not only long lines just to eat, they constantly ask you to move along because they need the room.

 

Is this all true? :eek:

You need to experience a "mega" ship at least once to decide if you like it. I've been on Oasis & Allure. (I liked the Aqua show on the Oasis better than the one on Allure.) Making reservations for the shows is not a problem since you are already an online cruiser. If you do a little research on this site you'll find valuable tips to ensure you have a perfect time like going to the "Park Cafe" as soon as you board instead of the Windjammer. Waiting in lines is all about timing and you'll soon learn how to avoid them. So just DO IT, you won't regret it! Happy sailing!

Cheers!
