I just came back from sailing onboard the Oasis of the Seas today. I have been fortunate enough to preview a lot of ships over the years, but never have I seen so much media presence and excitement among those on-board. Crews and TV personalities from several shows including Good Morning America and Entertainment Tonight were there to capture the world’s largest cruise ship. Rihanna performed a live concert in the Opal Theater for VIP guests and contest winners.
In the coming weeks we will be writing several blogs – one for each of the seven neighborhoods onboard the ship, giving you important details about dining, entertainment and more, as well as providing you video of each neighborhood, so that you can see the ship first hand.
For today, I merely wanted to share my overall impression of the Oasis of the Seas. Although I realize that this size ship is not for everyone, Royal Caribbean achieved their vision of creating a personal experience for each cruiser. Guests can stroll bustling boulevards and entertainment districts, lounge around the pool or relax in a tree filled park. The ship is organized in such a way, that each neighborhood seems to transport you to a new destination. I applaud Royal Caribbean for their innovation!
Today we are boarding the World’s Largest Cruise Ship – the Oasis of the Seas to take some of the first pictures of this unbelievable ship. Much to our surprise, Rihanna will be performing tonight as the first entertainer to sing in the ship’s open air AquaTheatre. Smart move on the pop star’s part, as all eyes and news media are on the Oasis of the Seas including Good Morning America, and Rihanna is set to release her 4th album, Rate R on November 23rd.
Stay tuned to our blog,Flickr and the Altas Cruises & Tours Youtube channel, as we hope to bring you lots of Oasis of the Seas pictures, Oasis of the Seas Videos and if we can, even some of the Rihanna concert.

Since this post written on November 2nd, we are happy to report that we were sailing onboard the Oasis of the Seas this morning, and got some great shots of the Good Morning America anchor Sam Champion and celebrity correspondent Melissa Rycroft, as well as amazing pictures and video of the entire ship. In the picture to the left, they are both in the AquaTheatre.
We hope to have a video up on the Atlas YouTube channel by tomorrow. In the meantime you can view our video of the Oasis of the Seas arriving into Pt. Everglades last week. Update written 11/20
ROYAL CARIBBEAN INTERNATIONAL® TEAMS UP WITH ABC’S “GOOD MORNING AMERICA” TO BRING VIEWERS FIRST GLIMPSE OF THE OASIS OF THE SEAS!
Set your TIVO! Royal Caribbean will unveil their newest and most innovative cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas. ABC’s “Good Morning America” will be there to welcome Oasis of the Seas into her home port of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fl and give viewers an exclusive first glimpse of the highly anticipated ship during a special live broadcast.
GMA fans across the country can tune in on Friday, November 20th, 2009 from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. (EST) on ABC to join “Good Morning America” for a never-before-seen sneak peek at the seven distinct neighborhoods and many spectacular elements and features Onboard the Oasis of the Seas. Some of these unique features include Central park, the first park at sea with nearly 12,000 plants and trees; Boardwalk, a family oriented environment with a hand carved carousel; a thrilling zip wire ride that races diagonally over Boardwalk 90 feet above the deck; 28 multilevel loft suites boasting floor-to-ceiling windows; and the Aqua Theatre – an amphitheatre style space that serves as a pool by day and a dazzling oceanfront theatre at night.
But wait! My husband and I will be on the Oasis of the Seas November 19th, and plan to upload photos and videos that day, (as long as the Wifi connection is works,) so I hope to have lots for the public to see even before this Good Morning America broadcast.
