Mama Mia, That's A Big Ship! The Oasis Of The Sea.

The Oasis of the Sea is the world's largest cruise ship.
Doesn't she look appealing? Cough, cough, cough!



The Oasis of the Sea is five times larger than the Titanic, the $1.5 billion ship has seven neighborhoods, an ice rink, a small golf course and a 750-seat outdoor amphitheater. It has 2,700 cabins and can accommodate 6,300 passengers and 2,100 crew members.
Gee whiz, that's not my idea of an oasis!

Roman Abramovich, a Russian oligarch, has a new boat called the Eclipse. She exceeds 540 feet and has two helipads, a swimming pool, bulletproof glass, a steam room and a personal submarine. Price for this floating palace is a cool $1.2 billion. It's good to know that some people aren't hurting during this recession.
