Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas unveiled

November 2009 -  many people could not believe it when they saw the plants for the Oasis of the Seas. Many changed their minds when they saw the Oasis of the Seas for the first time earlier this month.  A cruise ship that can hold the unbelievable quantity of more than 6,000 people, and costing well over 1 billion US$….but the reaction of the thousands of travel agents that saw it earlier this week was overwhelming positive.

Royal Caribbean created something that takes cruising to a whole new level - a true floating resort that is comparable with  mega-resorts in Las Vegas.  From the tree-line boulevard of elegant restaurants in Oasis’ open-air Central Park to the hopping bars and shops of its Royal Promenade to the multiple resort-like pools on its top deck, this is the first ship that can compete with the likes of Bellagio in Las Vegas and Atlantis in the Bahamas.

There were some special sales, but tickets for the Oasis of the Seas do not come cheap. “During the height of a recession, rates for 2010 sailings actually increased throughout 2009 from when they first went on sale, ” notes an agent. ”That’s extraordinary in this economic climate.”
