Oasis of the Seas is a cruise ship in the fleet of Royal Caribbean International. The first of her class, she is expected to be joined by her sister ship Allure of the Seas in November 2010. Both vessels are expected to cruise the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in the United States. The ship replaces the Freedom-class cruise ships (also owned by Royal Caribbean) as the world’s largest passenger vessel. The vessel was ordered in February 2006 and designed under the name “Project Genesis”. Her keel was laid down on 12 November 2007 at STX Europe (formerly Aker Yards) in Turku, Finland. The company announced that full funding for Oasis of the Seas was secured on 15 April 2009. The name Oasis of the Seas resulted from a competition held in May 2008. The ship was completed and turned over to Royal Caribbean on 28 October 2009. Two days later, she departed Finland for the United States. While exiting the Baltic Sea, the vessel passed underneath the Great Belt Fixed Link in Denmark on 1 November 2009. The bridge has a clearance of 65 m (213 ft) above the water; Oasis normally has an air draft of 72 m (236 ft). The passage under the bridge was possible due to retraction of the telescoping funnels, and an additional 30 cm (12 in) was gained by the squat effect whereby vessels travelling at speed in a shallow channel will be drawn deeper into the water. Approaching the bridge at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph), the ship passed under it with less than 2 feet (60 cm) of …

/ March 24, 2010If I had to give a wild guess, I’d say 30-50 years. Passenger ships generally have a greater lifespan than cargo ships, but recently relatively new ships have been scrapped. Also, running a ship like this might become so expensive over the years that it might be scrapped sooner than a smaller but otherwise similar ship.

/ March 24, 2010Yeah. The crew of over 2000 can be sacrificed to save the passengers who have paid for their cruise
