I went on the Oasis 2 times last year..They are very nice ships but I enjoyed Norwegian Getaway and Escape better. I've been on 35 cruises and I feel Royal's food is on par with Carnival as being the worst. I know food is subjective but it's really gone down hill on Royal since I first cruised with them. Plus if you book NCL you get 2 free perks like free beverage package and free speciality dining.

I agree with this guy. I would say Royal is my least favorite of the 4 lines I have been on (Royal, Carnival, Norwegian, and Celebrity). Having said that, Oasis class is a whole different breed of ships, due to it's massive size and extensive options. I think it's definitely worth it, but I think you will find better deals on other lines.

NCL is my favorite as of right now, and as mentioned, you can book nearly any cruise with them right now, and receive free promotions. 1-4 promotions depending on which stateroom you book. The best option is obviously the UBP(Unlimited Beverage Package). 7 days of not having to look at your bar bill is amazing.
