The Oasis Of The Seas Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas guarantees an amazing time for you and your family whether you are on board or on shore excursion. Day or night, a number of events goes on everywhere on the ship. Day activities include scuba diving under their Sea Trek program, surf stimulator known as the Flow Rider and indoor rock climbing. The ship also offers game shows for families as well as trivia contests. Oasis has several restaurants in it such as famous fast food chains like Ben and Jerry’s and Johnny Rockets.
Central Park

Oasis of the Seas boasts of a Central Park, Boardwalk, Royal Promenade and a Pool and Sports Zone. Central Park, located on deck 8, is surrounded by shrubs, trees, flowers and tropical foliage. Staterooms surround the area with some rooms containing balconies overlooking the charming garden and pathways. The neighbourhood includes several restaurants, various themed gardens and retail boutiques.
Boardwalk
Perhaps, the most interesting area for families would be the Boardwalk. Young and old alike would love the area’s colourful carousel, several eateries, retail shops and other carnival games. Families will surely enjoy a thrilling zip line ride and the Aqua Theater, an outdoor venue containing a backdrop of the sea across the horizon. Some of the most interesting shops include Madame Zamara’s Psychic and Tattoo Parlor, Candy Beach specialty candy store, Smile photo shop and Star Pier retail store for teens. The neighbourhood is also surrounded by several staterooms overlooking the area.
The Royal Promenade
The Royal Promenade can be found directly below the Central Park. Its Crystal Canopies lets guests enjoy the natural light cascading from Central Park and the sky beyond. If children will enjoy the Boardwalk, adults will surely enjoy Royal Promenade’s moving bar called the Rising Tide. Guests can enjoy several glasses of cocktails while slowly descending from the Central Park and into Royal Promenade. The area highlights a giant copper globe incorporated in the Globe and Atlas Pub’s facade. The globe cracks open revealing a bridge platform leading to an entertainment area. Unlike the other cruise lines, Oasis of the Seas welcomes guests via the Royal Promenade. The mezzanine level will give you a spectacular view of the whole area as well as it houses the exclusive Diamond Club, Schooner Bar and the Royal Caribbean International. Several restaurants, bar, retail outlets and souvenir shops surround the area.

Oasis Of The Seas (The Royal Caribbean Cruise)

Oasis Of The Seas

For those who love cruise ships, here’s a few pictures of the new Oasis Of The Seas, which is now the largest cruise ship in the world! It arrived at it’s new home in Port Everglades here in Florida last week. Owned by Royal Caribbean International, it’s a floating city, and a big one at that!

Oasis Of The Seas is 1,184 feet long and more than 226,000 tons. The 5,400-passenger ship with a crew of 2,000 cost 1.5 billion dollars to make. Darn, I guess I can’t afford a copy! No other cruise line seems interested in topping it, so I think it will remain the largest cruise ship for some time.

Personally it looks a bit top heavy to me, especially in the second picture. Somehow it looks like a big wave hitting it broadside would flip it right over. It has 16 decks, a damn high ship! That’s a lot of weight above the waterline. But I’ll never be able to afford to go on it anyway. Cool ship, no matter what!

Inferno hauls greet the world’s largest cruise ship, the Independence of the Seas as she enters in the U.K. for the first time on 25 April in Southampton, southern England. This giant 160,000 tonne yacht will function all through the year from the city. Valued at $793 million (Euros 508 million), this Royal Caribbean cruise ship was constructed in the Aker Finnyards drydock in Turku, Finland and is the dual biggest sail liner together with her sister ships Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas. It draws contrast with the Titanic in terms of her giantly size by being 230ft longer than the Titanic. Right after Titanic met misfortune, the largest cruise ship has proved to be a risk for her owners, who witnessed a surge in fuel prices and calming down of global economy within three years of commissioning of ship.

The pool of facilities offered by this princess includes a 2,000-seater dining room, a choice of an ice rink, a 1,350-seat theatre, a surf simulator and a nine-hole miniature golf course. The naming ceremony for the ship is due on 30 April before she boards on her foremost paying journey on 2 May.

Oasis Of The Seas Inside

It took six years and cost over 800million pounds to build.
And now the Oasis of the Seas will finally be launched into the ocean with the maiden voyage set for December.
The ship was handed over to the Royal Caribbean cruiseline in the Finnish port of Turku by shipbuilder STX on Wednesday this week.

It measures a staggering 16 decks high, or 65 metres (213 feet) above the waterline, and measures 1,180ft long and 154 ft wide and has the capacity to accommodate 6,360 passengers and 2,160 crew members.
Guests who spend time aboard the record breaking vessel can expect a whole new world of entertainment including an aquatic amphitheater - called the Aqua Theatre - which serves as a pool by day and a dazzling ocean front theatre by night and a rock climbing area.
