Oasis of the Seas shook the cruise world when she debuted in 2009 as the first ship to break the 200,000-gross-tonne barrier. After a major amplification in 2019 that added 35 new experiences — including a new Perfect Storm waterslide duo, Sugar Beach, and the Spotlight Karaoke venue — she remains one of the most impressive ships afloat. Sailing from Port Canaveral, she covers Eastern and Western Caribbean loops with stops at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

✦ The standout feature

Central Park — a genuine outdoor park with living trees and plants in the middle of the ship, surrounded by al fresco restaurants and bars. No other ship in the world has anything quite like it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Oasis of the Seas still worth sailing in 2025?
Absolutely. After the 2019 amplification, Oasis received significant upgrades and new venues that keep her competitive. While Icon and Utopia have more cutting-edge features, Oasis offers a slightly calmer mega-ship experience and is often better priced. Central Park and the Aqua Theater remain genuinely unique attractions.
What is the difference between Oasis and Icon of the Seas?
Icon is larger (248,663 GT vs 226,838 GT), newer (2024 vs 2009), and has more cutting-edge features including the world's first suspended infinity pool and the AquaDome. Oasis is more affordable and arguably less overwhelming. Both are Oasis class ships but Icon represents a generational leap in ship design.
Does Oasis of the Seas go to CocoCay?
Yes. Most Oasis sailings include a stop at Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island destination in the Bahamas. CocoCay features Thrill Waterpark, a swim-up bar, Oasis Lagoon, and multiple beach clubs.
What is the best cabin category on Oasis of the Seas?
Boardwalk-view balcony staterooms offer a unique perspective overlooking the Boardwalk neighborhood and Aqua Theater. Central Park-view balconies are more peaceful. For luxury, the Royal Suite and Sky Loft Suites are spectacular. On a budget, interior cabins on Oasis are quiet and comfortable.
