Your cabin steward is there for your room to be set the way you want it.  Be sure to chat with them about how you want your room set up, they are happy to accommodate you to help make your vacation unforgettable.

3. Variety of Dining Options

Feeding a family on vacation can be a challenge, but Oasis of the Seas offers a wide range of dining options to suit all tastes and dietary needs. From casual buffet spots to specialty restaurants and kid-friendly menus, mealtime is made easy.

Though there are many options of dining that are an added cost our family of 6 dine with no issue at the included dining options.  We have not had a bad meal in the main dining room and always have fantastic service. Our girls just love the variety at the Windjammer, there is always something for them to eat- even the pickiest of eaters.

The Park Cafe in Central park has wonderful salad options for a lighter lunch option.

If you are looking for a late night bite be sure to check out Sorrento’s pizza or Cafe Promenade for a sweet treat- or fruit if you are looking for something lighter.
