Oasis of the Seas: Sanitation Record & Health Report
ShipTea Verdict
The ship that started the mega-ship revolution. Oasis has been refurbished and updated, but at its core, this is a 2009-built vessel showing its age in places. CDC score of 95 is decent but not exceptional for the fleet.
Oasis proved that a cruise ship could be a destination in itself, and every mega-ship since owes something to its blueprint. But the newer Oasis-class ships (Allure, Harmony, Symphony, Wonder) have all improved on the original. Oasis is now the budget option in the class, and that's actually a valid reason to choose it.
**Who it's for:** Budget-conscious families who want the Oasis-class experience at the lowest price point. Cruisers who appreciate history.
**Who should skip it:** Anyone who wants the newest amenities. People who are bothered by older finishes.
