A look at the world’s largest cruise ship, the Oasis of the Seas – built at a cost of $1.4 billion.
Imagine you walk into your room aboard a cruise ship on its way to the Caribbean. You find a baby grand piano, a library and private wet bar. You notice an LCD TV in the corner, and a Jacuzzi on a wraparound balcony with views of the ocean. Sounds nice, right? Does it sound nice enough for you to spend $16,659 on it? Royal Caribbean is betting it does. The world’s largest cruise ship, the Oasis of the Seas, sets sail next month on its maiden voyage. The ship, which cost Royal Caribbean $1.4 billion to build, measures 1,187 feet long, longer than four city blocks, and has 2,706 staterooms that can hold nearly 6,300 passengers. – From ABC
