Creator's Key Takeaways

the parking garage was already full at terminal a in port miami

there's still only two exits to get off of this ship even though you have thousands more people

the windjammer is also not big enough for lunchtime

the ship is just too big from that perspective

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early or late to avoid long lines at the terminal
Plan your dining times carefully due to main dining room chaos
Prioritize activities as you cannot see the entire ship in a weekend

Royal Caribbean has announced that the Allure of the Seas, an Oasis Class ship, will be sailing 3- and 4-night sailings beginning Oct 31, 2023. Last week, the Oasis of the Seas sailed a 3-night Weekend Cruise (Thursday to Sunday) for the first time in ages. As a devout Weekend Cruiser, I could not miss this opportunity to see what a weekend cruise on an Oasis Class ship was going to be like. 0:00 Intro 1:21 #1 Not enough parking 2:30 #2 Embarkation and Debarkation Issues 4:21 #3 Dinning Issues 6:20 #4 You will not see it all 7:32 #5 Shows cannot be rescheduled 9:20 #6 Tough contracts for Crew 10:35 Overall: Oasis Class is NOT a good Weekend Ship Best AMAZON Purchases for a Cruise (Affiliate Links): 1) Multi Plug Outlet: https://amzn.to/3u5hxwd 2) Travel Charger (my personal one): https://amzn.to/3K1Cuh4 3) 10 Ft., 4 in 1 Universal Charing Cord https://amzn.to/3juRh8j 4) Push Pin Magnets: https://amzn.to/3iSRlOY 5) Beach Towel Clips https://amzn.to/3qU9MqJ 6) Travel Size Sunscreen (3oz. for planes) https://amzn.to/3tXZYhy DISCLAIMER: Links included in this description might be affiliate links.
