SD 1 versus Oasis of the Seas Magazine Article

[DisneyJen]

Yesterday afternoon I finally tackled my pile of magazines and was thrilled to see an article/photo essay in "Caribbean Travel + Life" entitled "Big Ship v Little Ship."

 

Here is the link:

Interesting. Remember back when the Oasis came out and we had that link to the lifeboat builder? One lifeboat on that thing carries more than the entire compliment on SeaDream.:eek::eek: Don't think you will find this Old Boy on that thing.:eek::D

[DisneyJen]

I do remember that Jim! I also remember seeing a photo of the two ships anchored next to each other in STT!

 

I will NEVER get DJ's DH on the Oasis:eek: Guess you are in good company Jim:p

[Jim Avery]

I knew he was a smart guy.:D

You beat me to it. Mine arrived in the mail today and I was going to post about it.

 

There is also a little blurb in this months Islands magazine mentioning SDI as one of the top 5 cruises.

Saw that as well but didn't look for the link:p

Yeah, I have seen some of the '"hoods"! I aint going!!:eek::eek:

[southseas]

It's funny, I go on cruises to get AWAY from the 'hood!

LOL!! :D

 

After looking at those pics (and remembering the infamous photo of SD parked next to Oasis) I hope they provide compasses and maps to their passengers as they board the ship.

 

I realize some like this kind of mass cruising so don't mean to offend, but this to me would be my greatest travel nightmare..... To be bottled in with thousands of people in a large city without an escape route! :eek:

[Jim Avery]

Have to agree with you. Have docked next to such on SD and it is truly incredible the masses of people trying to get on and off the ship. The largest we have ever been on has been Queen Mary 2 and she holds about half of the Oasis's compliment!:eek:

HALF of the QE2?! Wow! :eek:

 

Guess ships aren't immune to 'supersizing', just like everything else these days. :rolleyes:

[southseas]

The Wind Surf was the largest ship (boat? I know size makes a difference, I just don't know how!) we've ever been on and even that felt a bit crowded. But I am sure there are those who would be bored out of their minds on a small, intimate ship like Sea Dream. I just don't want to cruise with 5,000 of them. :p
