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. Basically, whatever happens happens.

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 a 'whatever happens happens' mentality when cruising.
βœ“Consider the value of Oasis of the Seas compared to newer ships for family vacations.

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.
