Oasis of the Seas - Unlike Any Other Ship

After sailing on Royal Caribbean International's Oasis of the Seas I can truly say that the ship is unlike anything else at sea. The whole time I was onboard, I never felt crowded, except during the parades, and felt like I was at a luxury resort. The Oasis of the Seas and its sister ship, the Allure of the Seas, are the largest cruise ships at sea. They have 37 cabin categories, which include balcony cabins that don't overlook the sea. They have "neighborhoods" like Central Park and Boardwalk and original amenities like an outdoor Aquatheater with diving shows.

But this is not the only difference. The way the Oasis-class ships sell is also unlike other vessel. Most cruise ships sell from the low and the high to the middle; the highest cabin categories and the lowest cabin categories sell out first, leaving the standard balcony cabins as the last to go. Not so on the Oasis and the Allure. The 150 suites sell out fast, but the inside cabins, which go quickly on the other cruise ships, are a tougher sell on the Oasis as people tend to purchase balconies and suites first. The Oasis-class ships are truly special, unique, and one-of-a-kind.
