Creator's Key Takeaways

We took the Oasis of the Seas on a 7-night Eastern Caribbean sailing out of the port of Miami.

I thought Coastal Kitchen will be close to if not on par with a Disney dining experience.

Aqua 80 is the best show on board. This is a fantastic show.

I would give Royal Caribbean Cruise Line on the Oasis of the Seas, I'd give it two thumbs up.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Join Facebook groups for Royal Caribbean to get alerts on when activities and dining open up.
If sailing in suite class, you can wait for the concierge team to book dining and other things for you.
Watch the muster drill video ahead of time through the app to save time at the port.
