Oasis of the Seas
Hi,
My name is Dortha and I have been a travel consultant with All About Travel since the very beginning in 1978. My passion is cruising. I am an Accredited Cruise Counsellor and a Master Cruise Counsellor. Need less to say, I love to cruise! I had the honor of sharing a historic moment recently.
I was lucky enough to sail on the pre anugural cruise on the Oasis of the Seas- Royal Caribbean’s highly anticipated and newest cruise ship. This is the most innovate and imaginative ship yet. It has an unprecedented range of onboard amenitites, such as seven themed neighborhoods, 24 delicious dining options, two rock-climbing walls, a thrilling zip-line and spectacular Aqua Theater preformances.
Some of the unique features onboard Oasis of the Seas include the Central Park neighborhood, the first park at sea with more than 12,000 plants and trees; the Boardwalk neighborhood, a family oriented environment with a hand carved carousel and the Auqa Theatre, an amphiteater that serves as a pool by day and a dazzling oceanfront aquatic theatre by night’ a thrilling zip wire ride that races diagonally 90 feet above Boardwalk; and new categories of onboard accommodations, including 28 bi-level loft suites with double-height, floor to ceiling windows offering incomparable vistas.
I loved the unique Boardwalk Balcony cabins – rather than an ocean view balcony, you have a view of all the action on the Boardwalk.
Oasis of the Seas is the largest and most revolutionary cruise ship in the world . An architectural marvel at sea, spanning 16 decks, encompassing 225,282 gross registered tons, carrying 5,400 guests at double occupancy, and featuring 2,700 staterooms. Oasis of the Seas is the first ship to tout the cruie line’s new neighborhood concept of seven distinct themed ares, which includes Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertinment Plance and the Youth Zone. If you want to be the coolest parent alive, take your kids on this ship. The childrens area is amazing!
The ship sails throughout the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It will alternate between Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. The Eastern Caribbean includes the ports of St. Thomas and St. Maarten and Nassau. The Western Caribbean itinerary includes Labadee, Falmouth (Jamaica) and Cozumel.
