Staying Informed: Cruise Compass

Every day during your cruise with Royal Caribbean International, you will receive a copy of the Cruise Compass in the late afternoon. The Cruise Compass functions as your itinerary and lists the detailed schedule and activities for the next day.

This includes info about the ship schedule, dining, entertainment, spa and fitness, special events, lectures, port information, shore excursions, shopping, and more.

In-Stateroom TV and Movies

Every room on Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas has an interactive TV to provide up-to-date information about what is happening on the ship. The TV interfaces with your SeaPass account so you can book shows and shore excursions at the touch of a button. You can access a variety of electronic commerce services such as previewing and reserving shore excursions, watching on-demand movies and informational videos, ordering room service, enjoying games of chance, and reviewing your SeaPass account and shipboard activities.

Royal Caribbean's RCTV offers at least 29 channels of in-room television programming fleet-wide, including satellite channels such as CNN International and ESPN International; TNT; Cartoon Network & Boomerang; Discovery, best of the Travel Channel, The Learning Channel, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel; Bloomberg TV; CNN; CNN Espanol; and movie channels that play recently released theatrical films before they hit the cable circuit. Films played on the big outdoor screen also play in-stateroom.

In addition, Royal Caribbean has developed many channels exclusive to the cruise line that offer a variety of hand-picked shows in the lineup, including classic TV shows, current sitcoms and dramas, classic movies, music videos, E! Entertainment TV programs, daytime soap operas, and E! & Style network shows geared to women.

Each Royal Caribbean ship has its own full-service mini TV station at sea complete with a television production crew and editing studio. In addition to keeping the pre-produced programming on schedule and pulling down live satellite feeds, the ships' broadcast technicians produce and edit onboard TV broadcasts, from the Cruise-In-Review videos to highlights of daily entertainment, art auctions, and other activities.

More Dining Options on Oasis

Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas underwent a substantial overhaul in late 2014. The purpose of the dry dock was to bring the world's largest cruise ship up to date with the latest dining and technology innovations. The biggest of these is a bevy of restaurants -- both free and for-fee.

Oasis introduces bold new culinary concepts, more choice and total flexibility. New dining experiences encompass the entire landscape of unique dining venues. The new philosophy is simple: give our guests more options, more flexibility, more control over their dining experience.

---

Special Features and Quiet Places

Although it's been more than five years since Oasis launched, the ship has aged well, and its original industry-changing design touches -- such as the first-ever Boardwalk and Central Park at sea, which uniquely occupy space that's carved out of the middle of the ship -- are still legendary.

Entertainment Place, a hub for night owls, offers ice skating and disco, comedy and jazz, and a three-tiered theater that features "Cats," the multi-Tony Award-winning Broadway show. Particularly dazzling is the ship's AquaTheater, with its "deepest pool at sea," which serves as a platform for performers such as divers and synchronized swimmers.

The Royal Promenade can get congested during parades, and you could wait a while for an elevator. But there are plenty of places to get away from fellow passengers -- such as the wrap-around promenade on Deck 5, and the Central Park, which is quiet most of the time. There also are a couple of open-to-all balconies overlooking the AquaTheater (one is on Deck 11, starboard); there's another off-beat spot, all the way forward and above the solarium, which most people miss.

The ship is large, but it doesn't feel as massive as you'd expect, and that's a credit to its design. The neighborhood concept really does work -- Central Park with its thousands of living plants is wonderful and there are reasons to be there during the day: Park Cafe for freshly made salads, sandwiches and breakfast fare; fun tours of art and foliage; and lots of comfortable chairs in which to read; and during the night: noshing at the outdoor tables at Vintages, the wine bar, and Giovanni's, the ship's Italian restaurant. After dinner, the Entertainment Zone is a magnet. On sunny days, congregating on the pool deck is a typical activity -- and while it can be crowded, you can always find a lounge chair.

Oasis of the Seas Gratuity

Royal Caribbean passengers are charged $12.95 per person, per day ($15.95 for suite guests). Gratuities are prepaid. Passengers can modify or remove gratuities by visiting the guest services desk while onboard. A 15 percent gratuity is automatically added to bar tabs.

Oasis of the Seas Dining

---

There are so many dining options on Oasis that you could eat somewhere different for every meal -- three times a day, for an entire week -- and literally not repeat a venue.

Main Dining Room

The Main Dining Room, aft of Entertainment Place, features décor inspired by the 1920s French Art Deco movement, Emile Ruhlmann whose work featured elegant lighting, simple shapes and beautiful wood. The striking centre piece of the dining room is Laurie Kaplowitz's masterpiece titled 'Genesis' standing at nearly 27 feet in height.

This is where our Cruise into Spirit Seminar-at-Sea dining will take place for dinner in our designated area.

Spanning from decks 3 to 5, the dining room opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a variety of different seating arrangements.

From 7:00 am to 9:00 am, deck 3 opens for both express and à la carte breakfast with a choice of food either from the buffet or ordered off the menu. Selections are similar to those in Windjammers cafe ranging from sausages, bacon and eggs cooked in numerous ways to French toast, cereals, pastries, breads and fresh fruit.

Lunch, served from 12:30 pm to 2: 00 pm and again on deck 3, features a Brasserie 30 menu (designed to enable guests complete their meal in 30 minutes) and includes a “Tutti” salad bar with everything from lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, sweetcorn and grated carrots to meats, prawns, tuna, cheeses and breads.

At night the menu changes daily offering guests something different to choose from every day. Each menu has a different name which influences the dishes served and includes Saffron, Mojo, Pimiento, Shitake, Jasmine, Basil and Pomodoro. The menu also features always available items (such as salmon, chicken, steak and pasta) along with Chef's inspiration. The daily changing options consist of starters, main courses and desserts. Vegetarian, gluten free, lactose free and "Vitality" healthy options are indicated beside the menu choices.

Windjammer Marketplace Buffet

On Deck 16, the Windjammer Marketplace is the free Oasis buffet, offering the utmost flexibility for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It features multiple islands, each serving a variety of casual buffet fare. Guests can enjoy expanded selections, with theme dinners every evening.

Izumi Hibachi and Sushi

Izumi Hibachi and Sushi Japanese cuisine offers a full teppanyaki menu as well as fresh and flavorful sushi rolls and sashimi. is a for-fee restaurant on Deck 4. Enjoy the pure and invigorating flavours of Japan with sushi rolls, sashimi, Hot Rock (Ishiyaki) Plates or sukiyaki. This Asian cuisine restaurant features a sushi bar and hot rock cooking, as well as other Asian fare. Open for lunch and dinner; á la carte pricing. Royal Caribbean's Izumi is an exotic Asian-inspired dining experience full of intense flavors, the freshest ingredients and impeccable presentation.

Coastal Kitchen

Coastal Kitchen, on Deck 17, is only available to suite and Pinnacle passengers: The high-ceilinged, glass-enclosed lounge is decorated in neutral cream, beige and gray, which adds to the sense of light and space in the room. It's a very relaxing spot with great views and a nicely stocked bar. Exclusively for suite guests, Coastal Kitchen fuses Mediterranean influences with the unmatched riches of California's bountiful farmlands. Enjoy Pacific Coast favorites like sea bass ceviche or Med-inspired tastes such as fig and prosciutto flatbread, and pair them with an extensive selection of vintages from the golden hills of Napa and Tuscany.

Chef's Table

The Chef's Table is a brand-new concept for Royal Caribbean and is offered each night on the cruise. The trick is that only 14 passengers can be accommodated. The dinner starts with cocktails in the library and an introduction to other passengers. Then it's onto the meal in the upper level of the Concierge Lounge, with a fantastic view overlooking the AquaTheater and Boardwalk. There are five courses (this is a regular menu, not a tasting-style affair) and before each is served the chef comes out of the kitchen and explains the preparation. You can book it before the cruise by calling Royal Caribbean or reserve your spot online and choose between a couple of nights. Wine pairings (quite generous ones) are included in the fee, as are gratuities. Great service and food.

Dining in Oasis of the Seas Neighborhoods

There are plenty of Royal Caribbean dining choices in the Oasis of the Seas neighborhoods:

Dining in Royal Promenade, Deck 5

The Café Promenade serves up sugary pastries and coffees in the morning -- with small sandwiches available through the rest of the day. This popular café serves Seattle's Best Coffee, fruit shakes, pastries and sandwiches throughout the day and night. Open 24 hours; á la carte pricing.

Sorrento's Pizzeria (free slices and antipasti for lunch, dinner and late-night noshing) offers a create-your-own pizza option; passengers choose from an assemblage of ingredients (meats, cheeses, vegetables) that changes daily.

A Starbucks kiosk sells the ubiquitous company's standard hot drinks at the expected prices, and diehards can even use their Starbucks gold cards. The selection of edibles is abbreviated. You'll find red velvet pie, croissants and other sweets, but not the full menu of savory sandwiches typically available on land.

Dining in Central Park: Deck 8

The tapas at Vintages, the ship's wine bar, are served all day (and into the wee hours) and offer a delicious, lighter fare (though not necessarily low-calorie) option. The tapas range from a simple bruschetta to more elaborate concoctions and from savory treats to sweet ones. Consider ordering a "tapas sampler" -- these combine various options and are quite cost-effective.

Royal Caribbean guests of all ages feast family-style on Italian fare at Giovanni's Table. A casual Italian trattoria with indoor and al fresco seating, Giovanni's Table offers rustic dishes with a contemporary flair, including toasted herb foccacia, freshly made pastas, pizzas, salads, Italian sandwiches, braised meat dishes and stews, all served family-style. Savor great Italian home cooking in this family-friendly restaurant specializing in the traditional dishes of Tuscany. With a fantastic, friendly, trattoria-style ambience, the menu is beautifully conceived. Giovanni's is open for lunch on sea days (and, uniquely in the cruise industry, on embarkation day as well -- so there's a lunch option for passengers who prefer to avoid the usual crowds at the buffet). It is one of the best values onboard. This Tuscan countryside-influenced trattoria is a more-accessible, casual Italian restaurant featuring both indoor and al fresco seating.

Chops Grille, the line's dinner-only steakhouse, is beautifully designed, and its sleekness wouldn't feel out of place in Manhattan. Steak and Seafood in an elegant atmosphere. Royal Caribbean's hallmark restaurant has been given a fresh twist with a revamped menu that brings contemporary flair to traditional steakhouse offerings. Featuring grade-A premium cuts of steak cooked to your specifications, plus fresh seafood, addictive side dishes and delectable signature desserts.

Experience farm-to-ship cuisine the genuine way, and only onboard Oasis-class ships. 150 Central Park features a six-course tasting menu created by James Beard Award-winning chef/restaurateur Michael Schwartz, using distinctive ingredients locally sourced and paired with an extensive wine tasting menu. The most exclusive dining venue on Oasis, 150 Central Park provides an intimate dining experience that combines leading-edge cuisine with modern design, creating a trendy upscale ambiance. The most sophisticated, attentive dining experience onboard, it's a perfectly intimate setting for a 6-8 course tasting menu with paired wines. 150 Central Park is the ship's showcase restaurant, with a tasting menu consisting of seven courses -- gnocchi with chanterelles, cauliflower panna cotta -- plus meal-ending cheese plates), ultimately it is a lovely experience. There's a wine pairing option and that works really well with the courses. Open for dinner.

The Park Café, which serves delicious hot Panini sandwiches and bagels for breakfast and custom-made salads and sandwiches throughout the day, is justifiably a huge hit. It is a casual-dining, walk-up gourmet market with something for everyone.

Dining in Pool & Sports Zone: Deck 15

A mini-version of the ship's buffet, offering fast foodstuffs, is located at the Wipe Out Café (complimentary all day, from breakfast to dinner). The casual self-service buffet offers a variety of options from pizza, hamburgers, sandwiches and fresh salads to quick snacks and desserts, for young cruisers on-the-go. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Brilliant sunlight by day, starlight canopy by night, the Solarium Bistro's brilliant food and atmosphere is equally perfect for a celebration or a cosy, romantic supper. Located in the Solarium, the contemporary bistro offers health-conscious dining for breakfast and lunch in a casual setting. At breakfast there are yogurts, granola, fruit and breakfast meats like the more healthful turkey sausage instead of the pork variety. Lunch features light fare, such as couscous, salads, fruit, yogurt and other healthy, tasty options. At night the bistro is transformed, via linen tablecloths and soft lighting, to a more upscale but still spa-oriented alternative restaurant, a romantic and intimate dining setting for specialty healthy-fare dinner and dancing under the stars.

Free Room Service

Still hungry? Room service is available around the clock, free most of the day (though a tip is welcomed). Egg dishes are available in the morning, along with the usual Continental fare (croissants, coffee, cereal). Throughout the day and into the evening passengers can choose between pizza, hot and cold sandwiches and salads.

Guests wanting to enjoy a meal in the comfort of their staterooms can choose from the complimentary breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, as well as the recently introduced Dine in Delights menu, which offers name-brand culinary options ranging from the Original Johnny Rockets hamburger to Ghirardelli Chocolate Cookies. Open 24 hours; á la carte pricing for Dine In Delights and $3.95 service charge for in-room deliveries between 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.

Oasis of the Seas Entertainment

---

World-class entertainment on Oasis of the Seas includes: Broadway's second longest running musical, CATS. Complimentary AquaTheater shows, ice shows and other live entertainment. A VIP Room at Casino Royale. Bars, lounges, and nightclubs that never have a cover, including live jazz club, karaoke bar, and comedy club. Parties and parades on the Royal Promenade.

Prohibition Party, a reservation-only 1920s-themed celebration on every fifth night in the Jazz on 4 lounge where guests 21 and older can do their favorite Jazz Age outfit and sip on alcoholic beverages for a cover charge of $35.

The Entertainment Zone on Deck 4 is home to Studio B ice rink for shows and free skate, the Opus three-deck theater (where performances of "Cats" take place), a comedy club (book reservations in advance; it's popular and the space is small) and a jazz bar with superb live music. Blaze, a one-story nightclub, is located down here as well.

Passengers will see the "Dreamworks Experience" throughout the ship, in the form of 3D movies in the main theater, high-energy character parades in the Royal Promenade, and special daytime shows at the AquaTheater.

On the Boardwalk Deck 6, all the way aft, you'll find the AquaTheater, an amphitheater-style outdoor space at the stern of the ship, where evening shows take place throughout the week. This is a don't-miss event! Reserve a spot, but there are also seats (and standing room) along the back.

There are two 18-meter dive boards and 20 performers dedicated to the space: six divers, four synchronized swimmers, six acrobats and four specialty divers. Another fun fact: There are nearly 2,000 nozzles on and above the stage for synchronized water shooting.

Your heart will be in your throat when the high divers leap off a platform that seemingly scrapes the sky and then slices into the water with barely a splash. Dancers, divers and acrobats pull off stunts against a backdrop of backlit fountains, big screens and the endless horizon of the sea.

The Opal Theater, Oasis of the Seas' state-of-the-art 1,380-seat main theater, features a thrust stage and proscenium extending into the audience space to create a more intimate and interactive environment.

In addition to nightly entertainment, the Opal Theater is used in the daytime for lectures, such as Port seminars, where you can learn about the history, special features, maps, and shopping at our port stops. We might also use this space for one or more of our "Cruise into Spirit" Seminar-at-Sea workshops.

Watch the Broadway spectacular CATS and other award-winning entertainment in this spectacular venue.

Comedy Live is the comedy club, where headline acts interact with the audience and provide engaging and customized performances each evening.

Studio B is the onboard ice skating rink and venue for a variety of themed events and shows. Some of our conference meetings will take place in this spacious theater, when the ice-skating rink is transformed with special flooring that covers the ice.

Suspended above the Globe and Atlas Pub, an unfurling bridge on hinged hydraulics creates a spectacular, surprise element for guests. Incorporated into the pub's facade, a giant copper globe "cracks open" as part of its unique construction and extend over the Royal Promenade as a bridge platform.

Many of Royal Caribbean's favorite bars and lounges are found in the Royal Promenade. The Schooner Bar is located on the upper level of the Royal Promenade. It's fun to sit in chairs that ring the promenade on formal night, and watch the world go by! The top-of-the-ship Viking Crown Lounge, which here provides a stunning view forward from its lofty perch on Deck 17, is gorgeous.

Follow the Latin beat and find yourself in Boleros, a nighttime hot spot where you can keep up with live music and cool down with a mojito or caipirinha. Bolero's jumps to a packed house every night, with terrific live music and lots of dancing.

Rising Tide is a unique bar, the first moving bar at sea that spans three decks and moves up and down, like an elevator, from the Promenade to Central Park Deck.

The On Air Club, located in the Royal Promenade, radiates energy day and night with television monitors featuring news, sporting events, and music. Club 20 is a high-energy late night dance club experience under the stars. It transforms the adults-only Solarium into an evening hot spot. Jazz on 4 is an intimate lounge inspired by prohibition-era Chicago, filled with live jazz and blues. Blaze is a quintessential nightclub experience where guests can dance the night away to pulsating music in a hip and trendy atmosphere.

Oasis of the Seas features the largest and most sophisticated casino afloat: Casino Royale. There is a themed walkway entrance, The Museum of Gaming, exploring the history of gambling. Design elements include dramatic sculptures, crystal chandeliers, and hues of amethyst, aquamarine and ruby. You'll find 450 slot machines; extensive table games including Blackjack, roulette, craps, and Caribbean Stud Poker; a bar and lounge area; a sports book; a poker room; and a players' club.

---

Oasis of the Seas Spa & Fitness

---

In the Pool and Sports Zone, Oasis of the Seas' top-ship neighborhood, you'll find a "zero entry" pool that's great for gradually wading into deeper water; a sports pool (think water-jousting and pool volleyball); and the H2O Zone that's just for kids and features several brightly colored water-spraying sculptures.

Oasis of the Seas is the first cruise ship ever to feature its own zip-line, which runs diagonally across the Pool and Sports Deck, above the Boardwalk. For those who dare to try it, the zip-line offers an amazing (and free) aerial view of the carousel and other attractions, so be sure to look down! You'll need to sign a waiver, obtain a wristband and prepare for what could be a long wait. (It will take about 10 minutes just for the staff to harness you properly.) You will also be required to empty your pockets and wear sneakers and a helmet. This is definitely a fun option, especially at night when the Boardwalk's festive lights are aglow.

There are also two FlowRiders, the surf simulators. Both are located on Deck 16 aft, with the Wipeout Bar wedged between them. One note: If you're intrigued by the FlowRider and have never surfed before, we suggest boogie boarding first. Surfing isn't as easy as it looks.

The adults-only, beautiful, glass-roofed Solarium is often packed and difficult to find a chaise, so plan to arrive early.

The ship's gym has been moved from Royal Caribbean's more traditional top-deck, full-windows locale to midship and is illuminated by portholes with no outside view to the sea. One nice touch: a stairwell inside the gym leads directly down a deck to the ship's running track.

The extensive and vast Vitality Spa offers teeth-whitening, facials, acupuncture treatments, a wide variety of massage treatments, couples massage, body tune-up therapies, waxing services, spa facilities, nail services, hair services, teen and kid spa, and shave, facial, and hair for men. They also host a huge menu of fitness classes at sea and at port -- from pilates and stretching to detox and weight-loss classes.

Oasis of the Seas Family

---

Oasis of the Seas is an extremely infant-, child- and teen-friendly ship, offering a large variety of activities and brightly colored spaces for children, from ages 6 months to 17 years. The entire kids' program, officially called the Youth Zone, spans more than 28,700 square feet, and is (surprise) the largest of its kind at sea.

Oasis features for Kid's include: Complimentary DreamWorks Experience - memorable moments including character dining, parades, and meet & greets with favorite characters from Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and more. Complimentary Adventure Ocean Youth Program. Royal Babies and Royal Tots programming. Teen lounge areas and disco. H2O Zone kids' water park. 3D movie theater. Classic carnival games at the new Bordwalk. Two FlowRider surf simulators. Two rock-climbing walls, Zip line, full-sized basketball court. Ice-skating rink, Mini-golf course and Hand-carved carousel.

RCI has started new Royal Tots and Royal Babies programs, which provide childcare and activities for children from 6 to 36 months old. All parents have an opportunity to reserve spots for their kids at the beginning of each cruise at a cost of $8 per hour, per child. Remaining hours are then opened up on a first-come, first-served basis.

Children, ages 3 to 5 (Aquanauts), 6 to 8 (Explorers) and 9 to 11 (Voyagers) have their own spaces to run around, take part in arcade games and Nintendo Wii tournaments, conduct science experiments (like volcano-making) and take in a mini-musical or perform in shows of their own as part of the "ImaginOcean!" theater program onboard.

Partnerships with Crayola and Fisher-Price mean that the Youth Zone is also outfitted with the latest toys, games and supplies. Daytime activities are free, but late-night activities are also offered for a fee of $5 per child, per hour.

Teens, the hardest demographic to impress, probably won't want to leave their designated areas. The ship was intentionally designed to distance the teen section from the rest of the Youth Zone, and away from the throngs of younger kids, teens can enjoy several lounges, juice bars, Nintendo Wii stations, a music room, the Wipe Out Cafe, themed parties and D.J. lessons.
