A few more:
Servers: Tie we’ve always had good service on both cruise lines. All the servers work very hard and want you to be happy.
Room Steward: Disney maybe. On our cruise from NJ to Canada on the Adventure of the Seas we had a bad room steward. He didn’t bring our luggage the first night. We had to search for it down the hall. No turn down service the first night and the room wasn’t as clean as it should have been. To Royal’s credit we complained that night to Guest Services and they sent 3 people plus the head of housekeeping to our cabin to clean and do the turn down service and we got a 15% off a future cruise.
Shows: Disney of course
The Oasis had 3 large shows.
Cats a Broadway show. It was terrible. Not the acting. The show itself. I have no idea why they chose this show to be on the ship.
Aqua Theater Diving Show was great. Not anything like the Disney shows so hard to compare but I give it 5 stars.
The Ice Skating Show hokey but cute. The ice skating show was also on the Adventure
The shows on the Majesty and Enchantment for the 3 and 4 night cruises was not great. Just cruise entertainment doing singing and dancing on stage.
They both have the guest jugglers and comedian. No reservations required for these shows.
Reservations for the shows: it’s a tie again. On the Oasis you have to make advance reservations for the shows.
The good is the shows play more than one night. The bad is it can be a little confusing making reservations. I made a grid of what shows played on each night. It was a little hard a first but it was Ok. It’s nice to have a choice of more than one night to see the show. So if you really want to eat dinner at 6:30 most nights but the Aqua show is at 6 and 8 you can eat dinner early just the night of the show.
Ships: Disney wins . A lot of the Royal ships are older and don’t look as nice from the outside but they were clean and nothing was broken.
Pools: Royal wins. Bigger pools. More (on some ships) more for older kids with the Flow Rider and the Zip lines.
Disembarking: Disney wins!!!!
Royal gives boarding numbers and you have to go to a bar/theater area to wait for your number to be called. Once in the terminal if you use the porter you get to skip the long customs line and go to a shorter one Best $20 I ever spent.
