Creator's Key Takeaways

I would not get on board the Oasis of the Seas unless you have pre-planned a lot of your activities because things just get so slammed and busy with how many people are on board

I was really impressed with the water slides on Oasis of the Seas but the lines got incredibly long on any of the sea days

I really do love the atmosphere of Central Park where the vintages is

it was amazing and it had a great 80s theme and great 80s music definitely one of the coolest things I've seen on board any cruise ship
