Royal Caribbean's list of complimentary dining on Oasis of the Seas covers the Main Dining Room, Windjammer, Sorrento's Pizza, El Loco Fresh, Dog House, Café Promenade, Park Café, Solarium Bistro and Sprinkles. Coastal Kitchen is on the same list for suite guests only.
A few details from Royal Caribbean's own descriptions. Dinner is the main event in the multi-level Main Dining Room, and the Windjammer serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The ship also has Chops Grille, Portside BBQ, Giovanni's Table, Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, 150 Central Park and the Chef's Table. Royal Caribbean calls Chops Grille, Portside BBQ and Izumi specialty restaurants. Izumi serves sushi and teppanyaki prepared at your table, and Chops Grille is a classic American steakhouse.
Bars and Nightlife
The bar list runs from the Bionic Bar, where robot bartenders make your drink, to Vintages wine bar, the Champagne Bar and the Rising Tide Bar, which glides between decks. Trellis Bar sits in Central Park, the Solarium Bar is poolside, the Lime & Coconut has DJs, live music and two bars, and Boleros has live merengue and salsa dancing. Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, the Schooner Bar, the English Pub and the Wipe Out Bar for after your surf lesson round it out.
At night, Music Hall hosts cover bands, and Spotlight Karaoke is on Deck 5. The comedy club is included in your fare for guests 18 and older. Royal Caribbean's show list includes Cats, the Frozen in Time ice show, and high-diving spectaculars at the AquaTheater, and your daily Cruise Compass has the current lineup.
Slides, Sports and Things to Do
The Perfect Storm has two twisting slides, Typhoon and Cyclone, plus Supercell, a bowl-shaped slide that spins riders into a plunge pool. The Ultimate Abyss is the tallest slide at sea. It's a dry slide that drops ten stories in about 13 seconds, and Royal Caribbean says you get unlimited rides.
There's more to do on deck than slides. The FlowRider is a 40-foot-long surf simulator, and the zip line crosses above the Boardwalk with no reservation needed. A rock climbing wall rises 40 feet above deck, and the ship has a nine-hole mini golf course, a sports court, pickleball and the Boardwalk carousel. The Solarium is the adults-only retreat.
Royal Caribbean lists these as included in your cruise fare:
- The Perfect Storm slides, the Ultimate Abyss and Splashaway Bay
- The FlowRider, the zip line, rock climbing and the sports court
- Pools, hot tubs and the Solarium
- Mini golf, the carousel and theme parties
- The AquaTheater show, ice skating, comedy shows, live music and karaoke
The Royal Escape Room, Mission Control: Apollo 18, is on Deck 14, and the glow-in-the-dark laser tag course is called Clash for the Crystal City.
