A Peek
at the New Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship: Oasis of the
Seas
If there's one thing Royal Caribbean
knows how to do, it's make big ships. This has been true of
their Freedom cruise ships that all boast 160,000 tons, making
them the biggest ships in the sea to date. However, the new
Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, will outsize
them all with 40% more space an actual neighborhoods right
onboard to explore. This all new Royal Caribbean cruise ship is
scheduled to hit the water in December of 2009, but the buzz in
the cruise industry is already going around. While Royal
Caribbean has led the pack in size and innovation before, this
new Royal Caribbean cruise ship will raise the bar on cruise
vacations, making this the best Caribbean cruise ship by
far.
Neighborhoods to Explore
This new Royal Caribbean cruise ship
will feature seven distinct neighborhoods to explore while
sailing the high seas. The three that have been announced so
far include the Royal Promenade, which will take the current
promenade on Royal Caribbean ships a step further; Central
Park, which will feature real grass and trees right onboard
this new Royal Caribbean ship; and the Boardwalk, which will
offer a Coney Island feel with traditional carnival games and
the first carousel at sea.
An Aqua
Theater
Another innovative addition to this
new Royal Caribbean cruise ship will be an Aqua Theatre that
will function as a pool by day and an entertainment venue at
night. The pool will go to a depth of 18 feet – the deepest on
any cruise ship today – which provides the perfect location for
scuba diving lessons in between ports of call. At night, this
theatre in water will include synchronized fountain shows and
acrobatics performed by professional gymnasts and aerialists.
This all new Royal Caribbean ship is sure to offer
entertainment that has never been experienced on a cruise
vacation before.
Innovative Accomodations
Forget the traditional staterooms of
the past, this new Royal Caribbean cruise ship will offer New
York style lofts and suites with balconies that overlook the
scenic Boardwalk. The same suites that have been popular on
other vessels will be offered on this new Royal Caribbean
cruise ship as well. Standard staterooms will also offer modern
amenities like additional storage and flip-up night tables to
provide additional space.
The Oasis of the Seas will provide
unbelievable amenities and accommodations that have never been
seen on the open sea before. With unusual accommodation choices
and a host of neighborhoods to explore, this new Royal
Caribbean cruise ship is sure to be a hit in the cruise
industry.
