Park Cafe breakfast was my favorite when we sailed on Oasis before. I loved the flavored cream cheese and breakfast sandwiches. 🙂

If you're leaving out of New Jersey any time in May will have fewer kids than June - August. Here in the Northeast schools don't let out until mid-June. Further South kids get out earlier but I don't know how many families fly north to take a southern cruise.

Its been a few years since we've cruised but after pushing our reservation multiple times during the last two years we will finally be sailing again early August on Oasis out of Bayonne (9-night to St Martin, PR, and Labadee). We've been to all the ports before but I haven't been on the Oasis in YEARS (10+). Obviously so much has changed and I'll do my best to catch up on the boards, but if there are tips or things I should consider, please share... reservations, shows, boarding, etc. We are a family of 5 with connecting balcony (Ocean view) cabins on Deck 7. My kids are 15, 13, and 13. My parents will also be sailing in a cabin a few down from us. OH, and we're Diamond now (first cruise since reaching that tier) TIA
