Oasis of the Sea: The World’s Largest Cruise Ship
December marks the debut of the Oasis of the Seas. Royal Caribbean has unveiled the world’s largest cruise ship, weighing five times what the Titanic did. This amazing cruise ship can accommodate 6,296 guests comfortably and it also sports the world’s largest lifeboats, each being able to hold 370 people. This ship is so large that it cannot even make it through the Panama Canal. It departs from Fort Lauderdale, Florida and offers weeklong trips to the eastern and western parts of the Caribbean. This shear outward size of this ship alone is incredibly impressive, but it’s what’s inside that really makes this ship special.
Oasis of the Seas offers a truly unique design. Unlike any other cruise ship, it has been divided into seven different neighborhoods, including one called Central Park. The neighborhoods feature real trees, vines and plants. You can also find high-end and casual dining experiences in each of the distinct neighborhoods. In total, there are 24 restaurants. This ship also sports the first-ever aquatic amphitheater, called the AquaTheater, to be built on a cruise ship. Each day this theater will feature synchronized water acrobatics, along with high dive performances from actual Olympic divers.
As far as entertainment goes, this ship offers it all. For daytime entertainment, there are two rock climbing walls, artificial surfing environments that shoot out 60,000 gallons of water per minute, a zip cord that propels guests over 9 different decks and enormous beach pool where guests can relax comfortably underneath an umbrella. Once night falls, there are plenty of fabulous performances in the Opal Theater, where you can find everything from musicals like “Hairspray†to tribute bands.
This ship truly has it all. You will be so entertained that you won’t even want to get off once you dock in the Caribbean. There is plenty of entertainment for adults and kids alike. Even sleeping will be an amazing experience. This ship offers loft suites with floor to ceiling windows, chaise lounges, couches and an LCD TV. The master bedroom even has his and her shower heads and fog-free mirrors. Storage won’t be a problem either as this ship is equipped with the largest below deck storage unit in the world. You can rest assured that if you even buy a car and some Mercedes Benz parts while on vacation, that it will have a storage spot below deck.
