Royal Caribbean Ship - Oasis of the
Seas
This is the interior shopping mall within the ship's center section
Within the interior mall they have a bar that is also an elevator. It travels from the mall's first floor to its second floor. It only operates once every 20 minutes.
This is the ship's captain addressing the audience. The platform he is standing on folds up as seen in the photo below
Above is the platform in the folded position. Then it slides into the gold colored globe on the left that then retracts and closes.
An aerial photo of the ship. I took a
digital photo of one of the postcards.
Someone else (not me) coming in for a landing on the ZIP line.
Where is my Life Insurance agent when I need him. I am preparing to go on the ZIP line
There are TWO surfing wave rides on the ship. In the photo below, you will see the girl fall.
She just fell off the surf board. The water will then push her back onto the platform in the rear area.

U.S. Customs and Boarder Patrol boats at the marina. Each boat has FOUR 225 horse power outboard motors. Do the math. That is 900 horse power in total. The boats cruise at 55 knots or about 60 miles per hour.

Our ship is the one on the right
We rode the water taxi from the ship to the main dock on the beach of the Dutch side of the island. It was a short ten minute ride - less than a mile from the ship.

Five ship lined up. The red arrow points to the black colored Disney ship that is tucked away behind the second white ship. I just wanted to make sure that you counted five ships. Our ship is the last one in the row.
