Looking into: "The Floating City"

As technology progresses, so does the design and capabilities of cruise ships and ocean liners. A new ship known as "The Oasis of the seas" owned by Royal Caribbean, and was completed on October 28, 2009, and was sailed from Turku, Finland, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The ship features many activities, such as a rock climbing wall, mini golf, 4 swimming pools, theme parks, and even a zip line. There is a "Central Park" feature, which holds restaraunts, bars and lounges. It is the world's first floating park. The ship's unique balcony design allows even interior room passengers to have a balcony, as the centre of the ship in the middle is hollowed out to allow the balconys, or at least a window.


The ship has wind deflectors on the walking decks, to prevent strollers from blowing over, and excessive winds. The ship's massive size, efficient stabalizers, and very quiet engines have almost simulated that the ship isn't even on water. The Oasis of The Seas set a record for the most passenger ever carried on a ship (6,000)
