Royal Caribbean's new Oasis of the Seas is the largest, widest, tallest, most expensive cruise ship afloat, a cornucopia of amusements aimed at quashing the notion that cruising is a sedentary vacation, said chief executive Richard Fain.
Oasis is a floating resort that eclipses the condo towers it sails past at its new home, Port Everglades in southeast Florida. The 225,282-gross-ton ship has 16 passenger decks and can carry 6,292 passengers plus 2,165 crew.
It has rock-climbing walls, a basketball court, an ice skating rink, a carousel with hand-carved wooden animals, a shopping promenade lined with cafes and bars, cantilevered whirlpools overlooking the sea and a Central Park with 12,000 live plants and trees.

Oasis of the Seas - the world's biggest and newest cruise ship - is seen on Nov
20 in Port Everglades, Florida. The US$1.4 billion vessel boasts 16 passenger
decks and can carry 6,292 passengers plus 2,165 crew.

It has rock-climbing walls, a basketball court, an ice skating rink, a carousel
with hand-carved wooden animals, a shopping promenade lined with cafes and
bars, cantilevered whirlpools overlooking the sea and a Central Park with
12,000 live plants and trees.



Richard Fain, chairman and CEO of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd, rides a boogie
board in a FlowRider pool which simulates surfing aboard Oasis of the Seas.

The Broadway musical "Hairspray" will be shown in the 1,380-seat Opal theatre.
