Hi dude, got some more pics to come, i am cruising on Black Diamond, passed Cape Canaveral and got a few pics of the Monarach of the seas, with Black Diamond in the fore ground, then a few more in Nassua Bahamas as I sailed by the Disney ship.
I don’t normally post about ships that are still in construction, but I came across this cool (though not terribly high quality) footage of what looks to be a very cool ship, the MS Oasis of the Seas from Royal Caribbean.
The Oasis of the Seas will be launching in late 2009 and is currently under construction in Turku, Finland.
The ship will be 1,181 feet in length and 220,000 (!!!!) gross tonnes. It is estimated to cost 1.2 billion USD to build.
She will hold 5,400 passengers and have 2,700 staterooms.
The Oasis of the Seas is going to have a pretty innovative concept. It will be divided into “neighborhoods”:
Boardwalk
Royal Promenade
Central Park (!)
Spa and Fitness Center
Pool and Sports Zone
Entertainment Place
Youth Zone
I am really interested to see how they will pull off the Central Park one.
I’ll definitely be watching out for this and updating once it sails in late 2009. Does anyone here already have bookings on her?
The MS Independence of the Seas is Freedom class ship from Royal Caribbean International which started service in April 2008.
Right now it is based in Southampton UK, but the pictures in this post were taken in Oslo Norway where it had some preview sailings.
During the summer the Independence mostly sails from Southampton to the Mediterranean, but during the winter I guess they figured out that no one wants to sail from the UK in the cold so the ship is based in Fort Lauderdale doing the usual Caribbean routes.
The Independence of the Seas is a huge ship at 160,000 tonnes and 1112 feet in length. It has a passenger capacity of 3,634.
It has the some cool features like an ice skating rink, a boxing ring, and a very popular H20 Zone water park.
Here are some more pics from the Independence in Oslo, Norway.
A grey Vancouver day and the Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas is at Canada Place getting ready to head off to Alaska.
The Rhapsody’s maiden voyage was in 1997. Most of the time it sails out of ports along the Gulf Coast to the Western Caribbean, but like many other ships it hits Alaska in the summer.
It’s 915 feet in length and weighs 78,491 tonnes. It holds 765 crew and 2,435 passengers.
Rhapsody of the Seas has a retractable canopy and an indoor/outdoor pool with a sliding roof.
It also has a cool rock climbing wall that you can see at the end of the video.
If you’ve been on the Rhapsody of the Seas or any other Royal Caribbean cruise, leave a comment and let us know how you liked it.
Update: Over on Youtube, jazzamcc pointed out that I made a mistake. Rhapsody of the Seas now sails out of Australia & New Zealand from October – April. Thanks a lot!
