Wow, what lousy answers to a perfectly good question. Is "all" the food free? No. There are a few free dining areas, but the majority of restaurants on board carry a surcharge. Want to go to Johnny Rockets? $5 Upcharge. Cupcake shop? Upcharge. Steakhouse? $25. Even room service carries a fee between midnight and 5am.
So you can eat for free, but you'll have to limit yourself to just some of the many resturants. How good are you with avoiding temptation? :)
Oasis is a cool ship, very innovative, no doubt about that. But it is moving in the direction of a shopping center on the seas.
Good luck!
Answer :
On most cruise ships, the food in the Buffets, main dining rooms, or pool deck grills are usually included in the cost. There are a LOT of miscelaneous expenses though, some of which, if you don't do your homework, might catch you by surprise when you see the final bill.
Some ships have what they call "specialty restraunts". Examples of this would include coffe or ice cream shops, certain delis, and some of the adults only/reservations only restraunts. Also, some cruises charge for room service as well.
In your cruise documents, and usually on-line at the cruiseline's website, you should be able to find documentation explaining what is and what is not included in the price.
Many cruiselines offer what appear to be great deals. I don't wish to sound cynical, but the honest truth is they'll advertise really nice initial prices for the cruise, in the hopes that they can make up the difference in revenue by charging ridiculous prices on things they will try to entice you with, such as souvenirs, photographs, gratuities, drinks, excursions, spa treatments, etc. There is a lot of "buy this! Do that!" non-stop hype on many ships. Basically a very expensive amusement park at sea. (That's not to say cruises aren't fun. They're a BLAST!!!!) They like to run with the idea that the passengers are going to get caught in the tourist trap scenario, where they're infatuated with the idea of being on a glamorous cruise ship, and will want to see and do it all. I've been plenty shocked at the end of some of the cruises I've taken when I've received the final bill! It's VERY easy to spend more than you anticipated spending, so be careful, but have fun!
Answer :
There are specialty restaurants that charge an additional fee, but there are plenty of free restaurants and buffets for any traveler. If you wish to celebrate a special evening or try one of the restaurants it is good, but the standard fare is very good.

Answer :
No, not all the food is free.
Almost all cruise ships today have at least one specialty restaurant where you have to pay an additional surcharge. On Oasis, I want to say there is like 6-7 of these specialty places.
