Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just disembarked a week-long cruise on one of Royal Caribbean's most famous cruise ships, but it was also the most unpredictable cruise I've ever taken.

I sailed on Oasis of the Seas, and it's actually my sixth time on this ship.

The thing that I was nervous about was would an Oasis class ship that's getting closer to 20 years in age hold up?

I was reminded of the importance of being flexible and embracing a ques type mentality.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Don't suffer through things. If something's not to your liking, speak up, ask, see what can be made to make it better.
βœ“Be flexible and embrace whatever happens on your cruise.
βœ“Take advantage of extra sea days to explore the ship's activities and dining options.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

Oasis of the Seas is the oldest megaship in the fleet, so I wanted to see how it holds up compared to much newer ships. I went on expecting a simple ship comparison, but I was surprised by how many curve balls were thrown my way. It's been 16 years since Oasis first debuted, and since then we've gotten 5 other Oasis Class ships along with 2 Icon Class.
