Oasis of the Seas - 9-Night Eastern Caribbean: San Juan & Puerto Plata
Oasis of the Seas stretches the no-fly New York getaway deep into the Eastern Caribbean on this 9-night Cape Liberty roundtrip, adding Old San Juan and Puerto Plata to the usual Port Canaveral and Perfect Day at CocoCay calls. Two closing sea days ease the run back up the Atlantic coast.

What Travelers Say About Oasis of the Seas
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Oasis of the Seas sailing. Based on 9,000 discussions.
Oasis of the Seas is the ship that started it all - the original and oldest of Royal Caribbean's Oasis class, debuting in 2009 and pioneering the now-signature 'neighborhood' concept of Central Park, the Boardwalk, and the Royal Promenade. The vibe is big, busy, and family-forward: this is a floating resort built around doing things, from the FlowRider and zip line to the AquaTheater high-diving show and the hand-carved Boardwalk carousel. A major 2019 'Royal Amplification' kept it competitive, adding the 10-story Ultimate Abyss dry slide, The Perfect Storm waterslides, a Caribbean-themed pool deck with The Lime and Coconut, an Apollo-themed escape room, and several new dining venues.
What People Love
- Best value of the four Oasis-class ships - cabin pricing sits within roughly $12/night of its newer sisters, so you get nearly the same 7-neighborhood layout for less when sailing from comparable ports
- 2019 'Royal Amplification' added the 10-story Ultimate Abyss (then the tallest slide at sea), The Perfect Storm racing waterslides, and a reimagined Caribbean-themed pool deck with The Lime and Coconut bar
- Standout entertainment lineup including the AquaTheater diving show, an ice-skating show, and acclaimed Broadway-style productions like 'Come Fly With Me' that reviewers rate among the best at sea
Common Complaints
- Oldest Oasis-class ship (debuted 2009) and it shows - reviewers consistently say it feels dated next to Harmony and Wonder despite the 2019 refit
- Staterooms were largely untouched in the amplification and look much as they did in 2009, with worn carpet/furnishings reported, limited drawer and shelf space, and a lack of USB ports
- Main dining room and Windjammer buffet food is frequently called mediocre - the best meals require paying extra at specialty venues
