Donsyb Posted November 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2022 So we just travelled on oasis for the first time and loved it - it hits our sweet spot! Observations were: It’s big but doesn’t feel too big. We like the amount and variety of things to do (OH gets bored easily) whilst still being able to chill out. MDR was fine, we had MTD with reserved times. Never waited more than 10 minutes, and the only time we waited that long was lobster night, when it seemed busier than usual. Dining took about an hour on average. Quality was inconsistent, ranging from ok to outstanding ( grand marnier soufflé was a highlight). OH had steak in the MDR twice and said it was excellent and better than his steak in chops. Chops was underwhelming - appetisers and desserts were good, steak was under seasoned. 150 Central Park was excellent. Breakfast everywhere was a bit of a sh*tshow. Long waits in MDR and Johnny Rockets, items missing. No speciality coffee available in MDR (said the machine was broken and stayed that way). Last morning just went to Park Cafe, long lines and a manager decided it would be appropriate to take a (long and complicated) order for the people at the back of the queue and prioritise it over everyone else queuing- did not go down well with those of us who had already been waiting 30 mins. Check in and debarkation was a breeze. Aqua 80 was brilliant and the comedians were good. Overall didn’t feel crowded other than in the casino. Service was generally good with some stars (Edy and Dean in vintages and our cabin attendant Jingwal in particular). We were front deck 10 in an ocean view balcony and it was very quiet. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelblu Posted November 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Really, long lines in the MDR for breakfast. I usually go for breakfast at around 8AM and the place is pretty empty. I've been on 2 Oasis cruises since the return to cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preziosa Posted November 23, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Was it the eastern or the western sailing you did. If it was the western do you Remember the showtimes for iceskating and the watershow. We are on Oasis the 9. Th of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to be seated quickly but the wait for the food was pretty long. Breakfast all over seemed a little lackluster but the rest of the dining was great and I am definitely looking to cruise more on oasis class ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only liked the Music Hall . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted November 23, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 23, 2022 There's nothing like the Oasis Class in the industry. Been on 3 and loved them all. My favorite ship is the Symphony. The food and entertainment were terrific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njkruzer Posted November 23, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Did Oasis once and it was enough. Had to wait to get into WJ and took us 2 days to find made to order omelets. Love Quantum class and Radiance class. Saying that will sail almost any ship, we love to cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omelets in MDR and Johnny Rockets. However, I was able to get made to order omelets on Allure in the WJ in February. FYI, prior to pandemic, the Oasis Class MDR for breakfast had a buffet breakfast with a made to order omelets stations along with many other breakfast items. This was in addition to the breakfast menu. In addition to the luncheon menu, they offered a "Tutti" salad bar with waiters making salads at request, pasta stations, antipasti, etc. and some 7-9 hot dishes. Really enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Class just feels too small, MDR splint into 4 low ceiling rooms a joke compared to Oasis Class. Music Hall a great venue, Two70 one of the worst entertainment venues I have ever been in. Vintages was our go to spot every night for late cocktails. Oasis Class is our hands down winner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I am in a basement with no windows. But we will sail on almost any ship, as you said, we love to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do only MDR on Oasis for omelets. If I recall, prior to pandemic they made omelets in the old wipeout cafe.
