(With video) Oasis of the Seas is a floating palace for the seas, with 21 swimming pools, 24 restaurants and its own version of NYC central park and Atlantic citys boardwalk.
MS Oasis of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship, delivered to its owner, Royal Caribbean International, in October 2009. The first of its class, it was joined by its sister ship MS Allure of the Seas in December 2010. Both vessels cruise the Caribbean from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It set a new record of carrying over 6000 passengers.
Short-time Record Holder
Oasis of the Seas surpassed the Freedom-class cruise ships (also owned by Royal Caribbean) to become the largest cruise ship in the world at that time. It was itself surpassed by sister ship Allure of the Seas, which is 50 millimetres longer, although this may have been caused by ambient temperature differences at the times the measurements were made. In May 2016, its second sister ship Harmony of the Seas became the new record holder with a length of 362.12 metres.
The documentary below shows what it is like to stay and work aboard this giant.
