Oasis of the Seas – Royal Caribbean

The Oasis of the Seas is one of those cruise ships that turns heads everywhere it goes. Launched back in 2009, it was a total game-changer for the cruise world. At the time, it was the biggest cruise ship on the planet—and honestly, it’s still a beast. Operated by Royal Caribbean International, this floating city can hold over 5,400 guests at double occupancy, and with crew and all, you’re looking at around 8,000 people onboard when it’s full.

Most of the time, the Oasis of the Seas cruises around the Caribbean, especially out of ports like Miami and Cape Liberty in New Jersey. It’s got that tropical vacation vibe locked down, making stops in places like the Bahamas, St. Thomas, and Cozumel. The ship itself is practically a destination—with seven distinct “neighborhoods” onboard, including a Central Park with real plants, an ice skating rink, surf simulators, zip line, and even a full-blown aqua theater.

You’ll find everything from high-end dining to casual grab-and-go spots, plus Broadway-style shows, bars, and all kinds of entertainment. It’s big, bold, and built for folks who want more than just a relaxing cruise—they want a full-on experience.

If you’re into cruising, the Oasis of the Seas is kind of a legend. It’s not just about getting from point A to B—it’s the journey that’s the main event.
