Let’s take a closer look at the seven neighbourhoods that make Oasis of the Seas one of the most extraordinary ships at sea:
1. Central Park
This open-air oasis is a serene retreat with over 20,000 lush plants and trees. Central Park is perfect for those who enjoy a peaceful stroll or al fresco dining at upscale restaurants or enjoying a glass of wine in Vintages as we often did. The charming chilled atmosphere, complemented by live music, makes it a must-visit neighbourhood for nature lovers and food enthusiasts alike. Dining options and bars include…..
- Vintages Vine Bar
- New York Library
- Giovanni’s Italian
- Park Cafe
- Central Park 150
- Chops Grille
- The Rising Tide Bar
- Trellis Bar
- A Selection of Shops
2. Boardwalk
The Boardwalk is a vibrant, family-friendly neighbourhood inspired by classic seaside piers. It features a colourful carousel, casual dining options, and the AquaTheater, where dazzling water-based performances take centre stage. This area is ideal for creating memorable moments; the Aqua show is one not to miss. We also loved having a snack and playing Jenga in Playmakers. And don’t miss the evening silent Disco, it’s so much fun.
- A Carousel
- Zoltar and games, including fairground mirrors
- Candy Store
- The Doghouse Hotdog Stand
- Play Makers
- Johnny Rockets
- Aqua Theatre
- Beach style store
3. Royal Promenade
The Royal Promenade is the bustling hub of the ship, filled with shops, lively bars, and entertainment. It’s home to the Rising Tide Bar, which travels between here and Central Park, as well as exciting events, parties, quizzes and live performances. This is the place to be for non-stop action and socialising. My only criticism of the promenade is that you can’t always hear the quiz questions in Boleros when a band plays live on the promenade.
- The Globe and Atlas Pub
- The Bionic Bar
- Schooners Bar
- Boleros
- Starbucks
- Spotlight Karaoke
- Rising Tide Bar
- Cafe Promenade
- Sorentos
- Shops
- Future Cruise

Enjoy soothing spa treatments and the thermalup a sweat in the state-of-the-art fitness centre suite, or work. Healthy dining options at the Vitality Café ensure you stay refreshed throughout your journey.

This neighbourhood comes alive after dark, with world-class shows and venues for every taste. From Broadway-style productions in the Royal Theater, such as Cats and a Ventriquist, to comedy clubs and ice-skating performances, Entertainment Place is your go-to destination for unforgettable evenings at sea.
