The Oasis of the Seas, from Royal Caribbean Cruises, is the largest cruise ship (5 times bigger than the Titanic) to have touched water.  On board, for its inauguration cruise, 3 people working for the site CruiseCritic.com will give their impression of this immense steamship. 

Editor Carolyn Spencer Brown will take the trip in order to evaluate and enjoy everything offered on this historic trip.  The floating building, being 40% wider than its closest competitor in the cruise world, was built at a cost of 1.5 billion dollars in Finland, and left October 30 heading for Fort Lauderdale, its docking harbour.   

Able to accomodate more than 6,200 passengers and more than 2,000 crew members, this sea monster will carry out its first trip on November 20, for a 2-day journey offering the experience to travel agents and the media. 

During this cruise, 3 critics from CruiseCritic.com will offer their evaluations and you can experience their journey aboard this ship that was commissioned when the economy was flourishing. Using several tools, the critics will blog commentaries through Twitter or Facebook and post photos and online videos on November 19, the day before departure.
