Room panorama!
Central Park Panorama:
Now, time for a lot of pictures!
My mother dearest posing on the Fort Lauderdale port.
Yours truly. Note the weird tinting toward browns on the old Nikon Coolpix cameras that I had gifted my mom years ago and she still uses a lot.
The view above the Oasis was definitively gorgoeus!
You could see everything. Best part was seeing the storms hitting Miami and the everglades in the background (opposite of this photo).
Now have some more oasis pictures, a beautiful yet insanely big ship!
The pool areas.. Salt and "olympic pools.
Did I tell you guys that the view towards central park is gorgeous?
The boardwalk area!
The port.. the Carnival (Victory I think) was also getting ready to depart. It departed 15 minutes after the Oasis.
Opposite side of the ship.. Mini golf!
Rear elevators
It was almost time for the Sailaway Party, so we decided to check out the rear of the ship, facing towards the harbor and right above the aqua-theater.
The interesting part was seeing a few gunboats blocking the way to smaller ships while the Oasis backed from the port.
The party started with a bunch of guys with flags.
King Julien!
Not to mention the Live entertainment in the center of the ship. My mother insisted this guy sang really good. I'll upload a video a bit later and you can later give your opinions

Once we went away from the port.. We decided to travel thru the Central Park towards the back of the ship .. as It was time for dinner.
We had a MY TIME reservation at 7:45pm..
I can tell you that the first day in the main dinning rooms are going to be absolutely crazyness.
The majority of the visitors do not like to "Reserve time" using My Time, so they end making the lines huge until the staff start to accommodate them correctly. This was a trend that continued all the trip.
The My Time reservation line was way faster after the first day. But still, the average wait time was between 15 to 10 minutes.. with almost 45 minutes on the first day.
Compared to the Disney Wonder.. the main dinnig rooms of the Oasis look extremely outdated and boring. The look like my local outback but even less themed.
We ended in the "American Icon". The only real themeing was some weared down American car plates in certain areas. Not impressed.
The food and service was not as good either. The waiters were clearly overworked and the bread stale and cold. The waiters were still nice and attentive when they were in the vicinity.
After eating, We decided to return to our cabin to clean, shower..etc.. and get ready for Broadway's CATS.
The show was very good!. Its almost the full show of London with some minor cutdowns. Impressed!
So bad there was no pyro on the Mr. Mystoffeles part. .but who would have pyro INSIDE a cruise ship? lol
We returned to our cabin quite late! (the show was 3 hours I think). But we were definitively pleased by the show.
And yes, that is me wearing a Disney Lanyard. You should be surprised how many Disney nuts work on the Oasis.
We had one of our waiters from Romaine that had Stitch USB memory and a Stitch pin (he complimented my Stitch shirt. the one I told you guys I loved so much on my last WDW trip)
And thats it for now..
Next day is SEA DAY 1!!
