Oasis of the Seas 2024 Ship Tour: An AMAZING $165,000,000 Makeover

[@patriceverhines4489]

Hubby and I found your vlogs a couple of months ago, and love you guys. We've only taken 8 or 9 cruises, find your info helpful and entertaining. We're 73 and 69 years old, but want to be like you two when we grow up. Thanks!

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you and your hubby enjoy our vlogs. It's fantastic to know that you find our cruise info helpful and entertaining. 😊🚢

[@AllAboardWithJoe]

8+ cruises, you're practically experts! Where to next?

[@louisewhite9152]

Hi Ben and David - you’re really spoiling us this weekend. A Vlog/video on Saturday night. My weekends have just gotten better. My MS has flared up this week so it’s been a pretty rough week for me but this has definitely brightened me up. ~ I just thought I’d come in and say hello before I watched the Vlog/video - I hope you’re having a lovely weekend - thanks again for all your hard work in putting up the Vlog/videos ~ sending loads of love and hugs to you both ~ Xxx Xxx

Always love hearing your voices and feeling your energy on a rainy Seattle Saturday.

[@terrifromm5085]

I took my son on his first cruise on Oasis of the Seas in 2012. We just love her. We may have to book her again to see these awesome additions.Great video and tour!

[@AllAboardWithJoe]

The beauty of a renovation is going back on a cruise ship you enjoyed to see it new again :)

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

I just can't imagine how many miles a day you guys walk through these enormous ships while giving us a tour! You deserve every calorie from the buffets and restaurants!

[@jen389lethbr]

I just can’t get past the shopping mall vibe on some of these huge ships with the balconies facing in. Not sure it’s for me but I love the plants around the ship. You don’t see that often. Appreciate your comprehensive tours.

[@nordisk1874]

I watch my shipmate Doug at cruise radio for news, Emma and Cruise life for tours and you two for tours and entertainment! You are the best for sarcasm and comedy and i love it!

[@jackiek6398]

We were on it in June 2019, loved it! Enjoyed the Solarium and all the food places.

[@stevemccord7118]

After you mentioned Star Trek, I remembered the episode you were probably thinking of for the showers. I was thinking Stargate. LOL. You guys are so fun to listen to. Keep up the good work!

[@kimc555]

I so enjoy your ship tours. Nothing better to watch (other than maybe a new episode of Vera) on a rainy Saturday. xx from Vancouver 🇨🇦

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

Even though we have been on all the Oasis class ships, we have been on Oasis twice and will take it again in September for a Med Cruise and then at the end of October for the transatlantic coming back to the States! Love that ship! Thank you for a refresher’s course!

[@izzybizzy-v3j]

I just came back from my first cruise today after discovering your channel and finding the courage to finally go on one!! I'll say it wasn't the greatest first experience, but it was my fault knowing the ship I chose was one of the lower rated ones, but it was the only one that worked within my vacation window. I'm still hyped to go on another cruise next fall!

[@AllAboardWithJoe]

Glad to hear your first experience didn't ruin future plans. If you don't mind sharing with us, what cruise line / ship did you sail on for your first?

[@izzybizzy-v3j]

@@AllAboardWithJoe Sure! I went on Carnival Sunrise. The room we had was amazing and most of our time was enjoyable, but overall there was a major cleanliness issue. It felt like there weren't enough staff to properly maintain the ship, and all of our ocean views were ruined by dreadfully dirty windows no matter where you were. Some windows had such large grease stains that you couldn't see clearly out of them. We also booked our excursions through Carnival and one was a complete false advertisement for what they actually offered, but Guest Services acted like they couldn't understand the issue when we asked them how often their excursion listings are updated and that everything listed under the one we booked was incorrect or misleading. I didn't go to the buffet much because it seemed lackluster, but I hear so many other people complain that they were rationing food. They would only have one side open half the time and 75% of it was just covered in trays of whole fruit spread out wide while there would only be a few pans with hot foods. Because of that, the lines for the other restaurants were always long, but hey, we all gotta eat!

[@med6399]

Well done! Brace yourself for the hiccups - & forge ahead for more fun with cruising!🌟🌟🌟

[@holliesheet3182]

This is such an informative and thorough tour! I've been intrigued about the Oasis Of The Sea, especially since she's been refurbished! Thank you, Mr. Ben, Mr. David! I appreciate your honest reviews and sense of fun!

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you found the tour informative and thorough. Your appreciation means a lot to us! 😊🚢

[@lorielcastillo9496]

Wow. Thank you for sharing your tour and time aboard the wonderful and beautiful Floatelle. Our City at Sea. I feel fortunate to be able to experience so much on my arm-chair adventure. Possibly one day, this will make my Bucket List. Stay safe. Bye for now.

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you so much for joining us on this virtual adventure! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour 🌊⚓️

[@vadath1]

Hi Ben and David - Great B roll footage at the start of your episode! Sound effects for scene transition was smooth and spot on.

[@VictoriaGates]

Thank you, guys, for the tour!!

[@salisburyveronica]

I will finish watching your amazing video of Oasis later tonight.

[@angelagrant9163]

Love you guys! Ya'll are the best tours of all the channels 😊 keep up the great work 😊

[@salisburyveronica]

Hi Guys iam on her right now. 15 day TA to Barcelona. Amazing ship! Another great video as always ❤❤

[@olayinkaoyo]

Wow! Have fun.🙂

[@ryang6572]

Have we gained an extra day?

[@andybell7512]

What did you stop at Horta for? Refuelling?

[@bigguy1403]

@ salisbury... So how was your trip. Were doing the return trip Barcelona to Florida in 3 weeks.

[@johnbuckley8324]

Great video guys! I'm sailing her later this year so your timing was perfect. Thank you! 🙂

[@chrisrobertson3189]

Great Royal Caribbean ship! Thanks for sharing as we sailed her twice in 2023!

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

29:41 I’d definitely pay extra for the Italian Restaurant and I do like the indoor quieter areas of the ship❤

[@nedflanders3769]

I’m going to be on Oasis in July. Thanks for the great video!

[@TrenaDavenport-b3j]

Ooh I didn’t realise the Oasis was in for this refit! We went on the Allure years ago and loved it! May need to check the oasis out in the very near future! Thanks guys 😍

[@horses4u2]

Sorry we just got off of our oasis cruise ( April 7-14) and I found it needing updating! Our room (ocean/ balcony) needed new carpet. It was worn! Also not impressed with the food in coco cay and the wind jammer was so crowded that it was hard to get to the food.

[@suziebee163]

You guys have such a fun channel I love watching your adventures thank you so much for all the time you put into each video 💕

[@marshall.cochran]

UGH I just LOVE all oasis class ships. Harmony is my favorite! So far…

[@TheElliotEsquivel]

Excellent start to the day with a new video!

[@juliewilson3237]

Love watching your ship tours and even when they are really long , it doesn’t feel like it as I enjoy your funny commentary and descriptions eg Casino having machines that light up !! 😂😜

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you so much for your awesome feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoy our ship tours, even when they're on the longer side.

[@helenp3280]

“The whole of the UK smells like Yorkshire Puddings!” 😂

[@EllaBeth30]

I'm so happy I found this review! We booked a cruse on this ship for our 40th birthday as hubby and I celebrate the same year. It's going to be our first experience cruising. I sew a few mostly negative reviews of this ship and started feeling anxious about the whole thing but your review was so good and thorough that it made me feel at ease. Thank you for showing the entire ship, I felt like being on it already! Greetings from London!

[@sherrjo]

Be interested to see the update on how busy it is when it leaves from England and its 45F outside and everyone is crammed inside all the outside space covered in rain

[@FelixTorres-wl5vt]

Same as night, these ships have so many venues and activities inside don't feel so overcrowded, unless they're doing the parade or balloon drops, I stay away mostly.

[@sherrjo]

@@FelixTorres-wl5vt at night people are eating and shows are on. 😉

[@FelixTorres-wl5vt]

@@sherrjo I talk from experience

[@cydneystephen2814]

Guys. A Saturday video? Is this in addition to tomorrow or a day early?😂. Anyway appreciate it. Was on the Oasis last August. Oh wow. The suite deck area is large. Appreciate the bar but quick bites to eat would’ve been nice. Frequented the upper and lower deck Solarium. Loved the coziness of eating at the solarium bistro to avoid the madness of the Windjammer 😂. Oh this is bringing back so many memories. Schooner our fav bar. Love the shows. Cats and the ice show was great. Didn’t make the aqua show but saw it on the Allure. Gonna watch and enjoy. Thanks in advance for a wonderful tour🤗

[@lorihorne8287]

Thank you for this fabulous review. I was on Oasis of the Seas just a year ago with a very large private group. This video brought back some wonderful memories, I love this ship so much. Thanks again!!

[@mag-_-]

Wow I see RC did a nice job to keep that ship fresh!

[@user82938]

If you have a group of around 6 people, I highly recommend booking a private karaoke room. It's so much fun and I don't think it's that popular, so it's easy to get a reservation. If you split the cost, it's not that much.

[@jfk609]

Thanks Ben and Dave nice detailed tour of the ship.

[@janinek6136]

It's bluming HUGE.. that's what she said😂 Great tour. Love you both, l too look forward to snuggling into your videos on a Sunday in Australia. When is BBC going to give you your own talk show, so deserving. Congratulations on all your success, lots of love ❤

[@kimnisley2957]

This ship is amazing with the real trees and plants. It looks so relaxing. Thank you for the amazing video tour. Great job guys!

[@jenniferbatchellor3694]

Great video. It's unfortunate how many venues are "extra pay." With the competition out there and the growing popularity of cruising, I would choose another cruise line. Many other lines include these restaurants/bars etc.

[@42warren42]

I so love your videos! Some I watch over and over. I was curious, if in the retail stores there are any bookstores to browse on sea or port. days?

[@LoriKrazy61]

Wow what a beautiful cruise thank you for sharing this with us….. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@heatherqualy9143]

Excellent tour, guys! I never thought I’d be interested in a mega ship like this, but this video got me excited to try one! Thank you for your wonderful content, you never disappoint.

[@Lyndyette]

The quality of your videos are wonderful. Thank you for sharing these amazing videos with us. As always, safe travels Ben and David!

[@ssiet77]

This is such a fantastic review! Our whole family absolutely loves your videos and my ten year old son keeps saying how much he hopes to bump into both of you on our next cruise. You are both so informative and make every video incredibly entertaining!

[@davidbutton3500]

Those Cabanas up on the top deck are just in the way. Who wants a cabana where everyone is walking by looking at you all day long?

[@Cruisewith]

Agreed!

[@JenJem]

I agree. Does anyone ever actually rent those on the ships.

[@cruisepryor]

They are almost always empty

[@TheBeardlessBear]

Hi Ben and David watching this while onboard the Oasis of the Seas. Just in case we haven’t seen some parts of this great vessel.

[@JimmyVYouTube]

It seems like it would be confusing with so many Lime & Coconut bars, especially if you are planning with others to meet up there. Q: can you take a plate of food out of the buffet to the sunchairs or to your state room?

[@Ariadne147]

I was recently on the Wonder of the Seas on which the solarium is completely enclosed. Even though it was supposed to be air conditioned, it was very warm and muggy in the solarium which was much smaller than the Oasis Solarium. I've been on both ships, but haven't been on the Oasis in about nine years ago. I love the upgrades they've given her and can't wait to sail on her again in October. She looks like the Wonder of the Seas now. I loved watching your tour to anticipate my upcoming cruise!!

[@FloridaGiGi]

I certainly do appreciate your wonderful tour, and all the time it has taken to so far see only the upper decks and the pool areas. I’ll continue to watch and be amazed, most likely at all the other amazing decks, but I’ve already decided it’s much too much ship for me. 😮 I’m going to stay with the older small ones - and probably save money at the same time. I can only relax with so many places at once, lol. 😅. You guys do wonderful vlogs, thank you

[@lanewolfe7644]

We’ve been on all 5 Oasis class ships and the Oasis is my favorite. Loved the Port Side Barbeque!

[@darrenolm7325]

Was on the Allure back in 2012 and this now looks so awesome what they have done. Would love to go back on this type of ship. Great video guys 👍

[@chatterbean100]

Been on my first ever cruise in May and was lucky enough to be in the Oasis! Watched this to get my fix as I miss it so much!!

[@ipseehuber]

Not just bird sounds piped in, but real birds! While in ports we were told that birds will fly in, and if they don't leave before the ship does, then they just travel along to the next port. We spent 18 days going from Honolulu to Brisbane and had birds along for the entire ride.

[@Frankl204]

Hey Guys, we love all your vids and as a result, have booked our 4th cruise (Wonder of the seas). We always thought we were too hip for cruising...how wrong we were!!!. This ship was our first and current fave. Thanks as always :)

[@SCOTTIETHOMPSON10314]

Another great video, guys!! I've been on this ship 4 times and love it. Did I miss your segment on the Vitality Spa? I'll go back and watch again. Thanks!!

[@lFlyingFifties]

Thanks Ben and David, you seriously do the best tours! Love watching your vids!

[@MasatoKay]

Good to see you fellas! Love the long format. We were just on Oasis, only disappointment was they got rid of the library :(

[@zdravkodimitrov]

There's a Library in the park, is this the one you're referring to?

[@MasatoKay]

@@zdravkodimitrov we went to the park, but they changed it to a handbag store

[@salisburyveronica]

Watching now while on board Oasis on the way to Cadiz Spain. Another amazing video guys❤❤

[@lizdyson3627]

I love CATS. I have it on dvd. And I agree. I always thought the promenade. Boardwalk and Central Park were on the same deck.

[@davehorton7712]

Sailed on her out of Barcelona in May 2019, she was impressive then but wow what a transformation

[@jeffkramer9511]

Have cruised on Oasis two times to both Western and Eastern Caribbean ports. It's a fantastic ship! For first timers, on Embarkation, head to Park Cafe in Central Park rather than the hectic and crowded Windjammer. Also, book Giovanni's Table for a great Italian meal!🚢

[@dadabetic]

Having only previously sailed with DCL (9x), we just booked our first-ever RCCL for Oct2024 on an Oasis-class (UOTS). Thank you for this overview! Super helpful! 💜 (edit: forgot about some DCL voyages, lmbo, added another to the total)

[@AllAboardWithJoe]

Per usual, excellent review, boys. Always happy to see a new video on my feed 😃

[@LostInSpice]

Your observation about the lack of windows on the Oasis Class is exactly why we made the decision a few years ago not to cruise on them anymore. Their almost complete lack of connection to the sea is a big deal for us. We've moved to ships that have more windows and more ocean views.

[@loriwentworth9028]

Wow, what a ship! Can only imagine what the prices are! Love you guys. Thanks for all you do for us! 😊

[@66evilEye]

Hi guys! I found your channel last year and I love it! As I am typing this, my mom and I are wrapping up a Venice-to-Barcelona cruise on Viking. The Oasis of the Seas is docked right in front of us. It's absurd! The Viking ship looks like somebody's private yacht next to this thing. 😲😉

[@kikky811]

I have to agree, Oasis is the best of all the Oasis class ships we have been on so far. We went on it post amplification, and I believe the public areas are elevated, compared to Harmony or Symphony at least. The only downside are the rooms, which were not updated and don’t have the same amount of storage as the newer ships.

[@wakeywarrior]

Allure is getting the same treatment March 25. Shame they don’t include the BBQ restaurant, nickle and diming compared to competitors.

[@Bionicbabyy]

VEry nice video. Your walking pace was great

[@dagala73]

My husband and I got married on the Oasis of the Seas June 2011. We must plan another trip on her. Loving all of the upgrades . Thank you. This is a lovely review ❤.

[@Nr15121]

How was the wedding experience?

[@MFamilyOnTheMove]

This is such a great tour of the ship! We are still so 50/50 on booking a cruise!

[@katis7673]

Harsh critics today. I know you guys are busy moving, etc. And you don't have funds to cruise practically constantly, like the other big guys who are now operating as trip advisors, so they go as media/tour operators for free. That's why I love your channel bc you show EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE. You guys are right in that the food really seems to have degraded to standard fare unless you pay for a specialty restaurant. Not sure about that. Thanks for posting and showing the walking tours, you do.

[@karenglaicar5486]

Nice tour. Great info. Thanks guys

[@RAnnD78]

Great tour! Did RC spend any of that updating money on staterooms? They didn't get done at the last amplification, so hoping they were updated this time! Hope you'll post some "inside" video of Oasis if updated! Thanks!

[@CaliDisneyDiva]

Hi Ben and David! I absolutely LOVE your channel! You guys are my favorite KZbinrs ❤. I'm hoping to book your next group cruise. I finish nursing school in June. I'll keep watching!

[@bellavita3097]

Salt water pools? Spa on board? Outdoor massages available?

[@emman6941]

We have sailed a few times with Royal...my favorite was Odyssey. However, more tecently, i see prices escalating way beyond its worth, so weve not been with them recently

[@Skittl1321]

I cannot get over how high royal prices have gone. It's insane. But they are selling, so someone must be paying!

[@andreawatkins2782]

I went on a cruise on the oasis of the seas in February 2024 so pretty recently. There were so many kids running wild and super rude from Canada! It was ridiculous.

[@MalinaT66]

Thanks again guys for a great ship tour!! Curious what type of ship is your favorite to cruise ... Do you prefer a larger ship with 5,000 + passengers or a smaller ship with maybe 3,000? I've been cruising for years and have done both types. I really prefer a smaller ship like Princess with 3,000 ish passengers instead of a mega ship. Love your channel ☺🛳

[@yvonneluquette4650]

Hey love the videos. I know you sometimes do river cruises. Have you ever thought about the one that hits Memphis area

[@scottmarcus6443]

Have you guys thought of having a fan cruise where people could come and meet you guys? Maybe on Icon at the end of 2024? Then you could have a few large group lunches and dinners, you could sell t-shirts and merch at the meet and greets. And "Icon Fan Cruise" would also be a great video.

[@jackmead6166]

You guys are Spot On!!! Thank you!!!

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks for watching!

[@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc]

Hello from Canada. How many videos do you make of each trip?

[@kathleenmcgovern8669]

Lovely mix of useful facts and fun stuff, tips and so on. Have you tried P&O Aurora, cant spot it?. Fastest and smallest in the fleet apparently. Hope its nicer than Arvia!

[@slgayla03]

Is it true that the rooms feel dated? We’ve only been on DCL. Trying to figure out of Oasis is worth it or we should just attempt Icon (except connecting ocean view is only on Deck 3 which worries me).
