In addition, the liner won first place in another category, as the most expensive ship on the planet. $1.24 billion was spent on its construction; the average cost of keeping such a vessel in port will cost its owners $230,000.
The new Genesis class ships, the first-born Oasis of the Seas and the already under construction Allure of the Seas, surpassed their predecessor Freedom of the Seas and became 21 m longer, 8.5 m wider and almost 43 percent heavier. .
The passenger ships of the Genesis project have become truly remarkable liners. This bold design, and a lot of innovations and technological advances in amenities for passengers, all this will now help attract new customers to unforgettable sea travel.
The Oasis of the Seas liner incorporates all the best that is available on the ships of Royal Caribbean International. Its first voyage on December 5, 2009 will be held on a grand scale, including the most luxurious party at sea. For its guests this is an amazing sea voyage, and for the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship it is a readiness to withstand any threat: hurricanes, giant waves and even contagious diseases.
The ship was built by the shipbuilding company STX Europe specifically for Royal Caribbean International; the construction of the Oasis of the Seas cost £855 million. The length of the ship is 361 meters, width - 66, and its highest point rises 72 meters above the water surface. The liner's displacement is 225 thousand tons.

Together, its propulsion systems generate a power of 96 MW, which allows the ship to reach speeds of up to 22.6 nautical knots. The ship's new owners were very surprised to learn that the Oasis had four more cabins than originally planned.
New safety techniques and the design of completely new features for cruising have made Oasis of the Seas one of the most anticipated cruise ships in history. The ship has so-called telescopic pipes, which can be reduced if it is necessary to sail under the bridge. The world's largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, had to be partially dismantled so it could pass under Denmark's Great Belt Bridge. But even after the height of the pipes was reduced, the distance between the ship and the construction structure was less than half a meter. For safety reasons, traffic on the bridge was blocked for 15 minutes. Hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the river to watch the brightly lit cruise ship, which rises above the water like a 20-story building.
There is a lot of entertainment here, both for ordinary people and for millionaires. The ship is equipped with a water amphitheater, a carousel (made "life-size"), a floating park, an ice skating rink, a golf course, 4 swimming pools, which required a total of 2300 tons of water, volleyball and basketball courts, a climbing wall and a children's area With theme parks and children's science laboratories.

A two-week cruise on the miracle ship Oasis of the Seas will cost a fairly modest amount: from £1,300 for a place in the cheapest cabin. Its sister ship, Allure of the Seas, is scheduled for completion in late 2010.
Passengers like to celebrate all the time, but if the cruise is “premium class”, and almost all the people are wealthy, then on board the ship there should be about 20,000 bottles of champagne, more than 14,000 kg of meat products, 44,000 fresh eggs, 6,600 kg of salad, 3,000 kg of onions, 22,000 kg of potatoes and this is only a small part of the food supply.
After loading is completed, the cruise ship Oasis of the Seas sets off on its first cruise. And if you forgot something, then, alas, it’s too late to correct the mistakes. The liner left the port of Everglades and the cruise began.
Doctors on the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship are hoping to avoid another type of natural disaster. If at least two people with a viral disease board the ship, it will spread instantly, since everyone is in a confined space. The liner is equipped with disinfectants in all public places, especially before meals.
Cruises on a ship usually guarantee first-class food 24 hours a day. Especially during holiday cruises, when the ship’s staff throws a real feast on board the ship. The restaurants serve the most exquisite dishes.
And waste disposal is the most important part internal device vessel. The Oasis of the Seas has its own waste treatment plant, where all waste is carefully sorted. Tin cans are pressed, glass is broken to prepare for recycling, and all other solid waste is stored until it can be dumped at the nearest port, because the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship is an environmentally friendly ship.
More than three hundred cooks work on board the ship. It's in the galley that $2 million worth of food is found. Due to strict hygiene regulations, the galley is prohibited for all but registered employees. Every day, about 70,000 main dishes are served on the ship, of which 15,000 are dessert.
The Cruise Director is responsible for all entertainment during the cruise. The most difficult part of his job is to make sure that the guests are satisfied. He plans entertainment, communicates with guests and keeps them in a good mood. There is an own film studio on board. Its employees film daily material on board the ship, and then, after editing, broadcast it to the cabins, usually in the evening.
No less amazing place On the cruise ship Oasis of the Seas, the Royal Promenade runs down the center of the ship. There is a unique illuminated transparent elevator here.

One of the most popular events on the ship is the theater, which seats about 2,000 people. The show on ice also attracts a lot of spectators. To ensure that everything goes without falls, engineers turn on the ship's stabilization system.
February 24, 2010- the Royal Carribean company realized that many people might like the idea of tracking one person to others, and they were right, the new product quickly became very popular
On the world's largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, Royal Caribbean is offering the latest in IT technology, ID bracelets and iPhone mobile phones so that people can find each other in the countless rooms of the giant ship. Wristbands are personal radio frequency identifiers RFID, although they can be not only bracelets, but also badges or clips. WiFi operates throughout the ship, the signal from the bracelet via WiFi goes to an Apple iPhone equipped with detailed diagram liner, that is, at any time one person can know exactly where another is.
There are almost 1,000 places on the ship where you can access WiFi, and at first the company just wanted to make it so that people could communicate with each other via mobile phones and not only communicate, but through the ship’s iPhone you can get this or that information, order a service, etc. etc., but then they realized that many people might like the idea of tracking one person to another, and they were right, the new product quickly became very popular. It is not difficult to guess that parents have become the main consumers of identifiers. The liner is incredibly huge, there are a lot of places where a child can get lost, and this can become a problem not only for parents, but also for the entire crew. Searching for a lost person on a ship is a multi-hour and extremely difficult operation, a general emergency on the ship, and preferably at this time all other passengers should be forced into cabins or public areas.
At first, Oasis of the Seas offered badges as an identifier, but then they went further and now offer bracelets, which are much more convenient, since they can serve as a kind of pagers. If you send a signal from the iPhone, the bracelet begins to vibrate, and its owner will understand that they are looking for him. If this is a child, then fine, but teenagers are unlikely to like this kind of IT surveillance. The young man met a girl at a disco and retired with her to a darker and more secluded place, fortunately there are plenty of such places on a giant liner, and the damned bracelets suddenly begin to vibrate, what’s it like? But what a blessing to parents...
The device operates on the basis of the RTLS real-time location system from Ekahau, the signal from the identifier is processed by the DeFi Royal Connect program and sent to the final server, and from there it goes to the iPhone, the location accuracy is 3-3.5 meters. The bracelets are powered by rechargeable batteries; there is more than enough charge for a week-long cruise. After the end of the cruise, the bracelets are returned to the administration and charged again. The reviews, they say at Royal Carribean, are very good so far, but they don’t yet know how and where this new product can be used, in addition to surveillance, they are collecting data. During cruises, users of the electronic spy are interviewed, and it is hoped that the information collected will expand the scope of application of Wi-Fi RFID identifiers.

The 360-meter-long vessel is being built by the Norwegian company Aker Yards at its shipyard in Finland. The Baltic Shipyard will equip the aircraft with two propellers. The diameter of each product is more than 6 meters.
Contracts for the manufacture of propellers for the cruise ships Genesis, Super Star Libra, Celebrity and Hall, which are being built at the Finnish shipyard, were concluded by JSC Baltic Plant (St. Petersburg) and FSUE Zvezdochka (Severodvinsk) in 2007. According to the terms of the agreements, the St. Petersburg enterprise will supply the customer with several dozen sets of blades, hubs and fairings, as well as sets of spare parts for propellers, by the end of this year. The value of the contracts is more than 10 million euros.

The beauty of anyone cruise travel is that in the ports where the liner stops, a lot of new sensations await passengers.
Everything on the ship is done for the clients, but there are always passengers who behave badly and interfere with others. Such people are asked to leave the ship at the nearest port. But the worst thing is when a passenger dies on board. Then the whole team has to console his loved ones. The body is placed in its own morgue.
Crew members and service personnel lead full lives, but completely isolated from guests. They are not allowed to use the main passages on board the aircraft unless absolutely necessary. All personnel move along a hidden system of service corridors and staircases. To do this, in the center of this labyrinth there is a main passage that runs the entire length of the ship. He has unofficial name E-95, along which crew members get to their cabins, where they can take a break from the guests. The laundry room on such a ship is one of the busiest of all types of ships. The workers of this plant work around the clock.

Such liner consumes on average up to 11,000 kg of fuel per hour. A sudden spark anywhere is much more dangerous than a hurricane. Operating costs are enormous - even a slight deviation from the course can add up to a considerable sum.
During bad weather and the inability to safely enter the port, the ship's captain may give orders not to enter the port, and the cruise director will immediately announce the changed plans to passengers. This adds more work to the entertainment service as everyone stays on board.
A cruise ship« Oasis of the Seas"became the world's first passenger ship to have seven independent thematic areas on board Central Park, Boardwalk, Royal Promenade, Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone, so no one here is discouraged.

Above the park's surroundings, 334 cabins stretch five stories high, 254 of which have balconies that overlook the park. Central Park has a range of boutiques, a garden, many gazebos, a sculpture park, cafes, restaurants and a wine bar.
Despite the size liner, some passengers suffer from seasickness. Although all the staff maintain a calm demeanor, some have to deal with a variety of problems on board, from natural disasters to crimes. The plainclothes security service takes on this matter. They have CCTV cameras and the ship's own law enforcement agencies at their disposal.
In case of evacuation to cruise ship a modern system of rescue boats is provided, as well as inflatable life rafts, which are located at strategic points on the ship.
