Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, categorizing their experiences into good, bad, and ugly segments. The positive aspects include high quality fast casual dining options like Sorrento's and the Dog House, as well as the exclusive Portside BBQ. They praise the top notch beverage service, the impeccable Aqua 80s and ice shows, and the diverse live music venues. The Solarium and the casino's direct access to the promenade are also highlighted as major benefits. Regarding the negative aspects, the creators note limited electrical outlets in staterooms, inconsistent shower water temperatures, and long wait times for my time dining without reservations. They also mention that trivia venues often lack sufficient seating for the number of interested passengers. The most significant issue, categorized as the ugly, is the unreliable Wi-Fi service, which they found difficult to use for basic tasks like checking emails. They conclude by suggesting that passengers might prefer to unplug rather than pay for expensive internet packages that may not function consistently.
