Five times larger than the Titanic

[Wizzo]

The $1.4-billion, world’s largest ship, “Oasis of the Seas” is finally finished.

It’s five times larger than the Titanic, has seven neighborhoods, an ice rink, a golf course and a 750-seat outdoor amphitheater. The Oasis is so tall she needs a retractable funnel, or smokestack, to duck under bridges such as the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York or the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark.

The ship that mingles the glitter of Las Vegas with the vivid fantasy of Disney is estimated to have the useful life of 30 to 40 years. Among the host of entertainment options that the ship has to offer, scuba-diving lessons, two rock-climbing walls, two surfing simulation wave makers, a basketball court and four pools are a few to name that aim at vanquishing the notion of cruising as a sedentary holiday.

Just keep it out of the north Atlantic in early spring, or anywhere near Somalia or Western Africa.

I wonder how many life boats this one has?

What do you think the scuba lessons are for?

I seen the Crown Princess in Belfast twice this summer and I was in awe at how something so massive could move. I looked this up on the web and compared the stats, and this thing is twice the weight!! 

What a ship!!

That reminds me of the first time I was in Miami Beach. I was driving south on Collins Ave. While I was sitting at a stop light, I noticed that what I thought was a hotel at the end of the street was starting to move! It was a large cruise ship pulling out.

They are scary when they are that big!
