Watch out for those Icebergs !

Ok liberals, progressives, marxist, communist…there’s your ship to take you to Cuba, Germany, France; anywhere but here!!! ALL ABOARD!!!!!

6,300 passengers and 2,100 crew members

at that ratio a 300 px jumbo jet oughta have 100 flight attendants

yes?

LOL

That is the single worst video ever shot…

In fact, I am nauseous from watching over 7 minutes of this horrible, jerking, swinging, zooming in & out piece of video garbage. If I could just grab the shooters camera, I would smash it to tiny bits & throw it in the ocean. Simply unwatchable video…

IceCream, do you really need a “gay cruise” to enjoy, and regardless, can’t you keep it in the bedroom??? Oh, let me guess. You’re early-mid 20s-30s and have no values or sensibilities to anybody else’s, either. NEWS FLASH: Some things are SACRED and PRIVATE, including people’s SEX LIVES!!! Hey, “Woof, Woof,” you need to GROW UP.

Ditto John’s comments! The lack of skill of the one holding the camera makes this very interesting subject unwatchable!!!! I wouldn’t throw the cam into the brink though, I would throw the idiot trying to use it.

SOUND!

I think that was the worst filming IO have ever seen. Now my head hurts. ;(

Yeah, really horrible video! I was expecting a news piece when I clicked the link, not 7 agonizing minutes of amateur YouTube video.

IceCreamRover: You are a pathetic P.O.S.

Oh cmon guys..its an amateur video..what do u expect….WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SHIP!! but, my head does hurt a bit…I am spinning…lol

Worst video ever.

It looks like something shot with a hidden camera by someone not authorized to even be on the ship. Terrible publicity for the ship.

Question: Do they have enough life boats for 6300 passengers?

The damned thing is so top-heavy, it is going to capsize! Just wait.

Two words: TERRORIST MAGNET.

More elegant than a cash for clunker at three quarters the price

What a monument to consumerism! Who would want to go on a cruise in a floating mall? I hope it sinks!

I was surprised there was no sound. (I clicked two links to “Related Videos” on the same page and they were both fine.)

I bet the cruise line would’ve provided some of their own video to Breitbart if they had been asked. I know it exists — I’ve watched it.

Oh well. Next time.

Considering the quality of the video, the absence of sound was a BLESSING! One less SENSE assaulted for 7+ minutes. I don’t imagine it was the easiest video to shoot due to the fact that there were so many people on board hustling and jousting for position. But nothing really justifies the amateurish look of it. No offense intended, but it looks like they gave the camera to someone with Parkinson’s Disease. The fact that so much work remains to be done was a bit surprising. As for the boat being top heavy and tipping over, you can be certain that this was compensated for with many tons of extra ballast having been built-in at the lowest levels of the ship, including the hull itself. You don’t built the largest, most expensive, most advanced ship in the world without removing the risk of tipping over. It’s true that test tracks per se’ aren’t built for gigantic ships, but that is where mathematics comes in. // Long may she sail the shining seas without major incident or loss of any life (except where unavoidable such as heart attack, suicides, etc). She has anti-terrorist measures built-in. What those are have not been revealed for quite obvious reasons. You don’t give the terrorists any advantage you don’t have to. In answer to another bloggers question, yes there are enough rigid, collapsible and inflatable lifeboats for all on board. Many of these lifeboats are not readily visable, which can create the illusion of too few lifeboats. I doubt there is a safer vessel afloat.

I’m not making this up. The other day I had a dream I was on the Oasis. It was so huge it kept running over other boats and ships. I would see it getting ready to hit something, and I’d think “OMG, where gonna crash”, but it would just keep going.

And all in one cruise we went to Key West (saw a lot of weird stuff – way weirder than normal by Key West standards), Savannah (we have friends there so I guess that’s why I dreamed that one), a bunch of Carribbean Islands that don’t exist but that I dream of all the time, and South America. It was able to cross land in my dream. LOL! But we got stuck in Columbia and they didn’t want us to get off the ship because of the Drug Lords.

We finally made it back.

I really wanted to sail on this ship but this dream has me freaked out. Like it’s an omen or something! LOL!

Someone analyze me dream for me and tell me what it means!!!

the cameraguy has parkinson’s

Interesting floating city. If someone wants it, the Finns will build it. Don’t exactly know why anyone wants it though.

WHO cares! Big does not mean better!

I might have to think twice about boarding this ship…if the construction and crew were as bad as this video. Left me with a really bad feeling about this company.

I can find the words to describe it: an exercise in vulgarity.

WHAT’S ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT? HMMM

I’d rather go on a Mississippi cruise boat anyday!

Why in the world would you want to go on a cruise with a ship that is so freaking big? I was in the navy on a destroyer and you could feel the spray on your face. This ship is the size of the state of RI.

“This ship is the size of the state of RI.”
And probably just as manueverable.

I wonder what a hundred-foot high rogue wave would do for it.

Finnish engineering!!!

I’ve not seen it up close, but from the highway (about 3 miles away) this thing is HUGE,it towers over everything around it, including other cruise ships.

I’m amazed that a ‘boat’ can be that tall and not tip over.

The ship looks amazing…. Time will tell if it is the right marketing approach for the economic times it enters.
I expect the “real people” reviews who select to book with you will be very positive.
Probably not from the critic’s of the the camera work and the 7 minutes. These people who cannot point to any real accomplishment in their personal lives will find hundreds of errors in design, service, food quality, and weather conditions that most of us will not see, and probably enjoy.
Best of luck to your departure and long life of providing a nautical excape from the reality of the world of unproductive critics.

I keep thinking about the “POSIDEN ADVENTURE”.
The ship got hit by a large wave and flipped over.

Anyone else see that movie or am I the only old lady here?
It is ugly and top heavey.

Heck just go to Disney or Vegas!

A cruse to me is romance,glamor,sun, ports of call,relaxation.

One big breading ground for MRSAR virus….

I saw the ship the morning of the 13th in Ft. Lauderdale. Our cruise ship the Statendam of HAL looks modest in comparison. The new ship is gorgeous, still I would not choose to travel on it. Way too big for my taste. One would probably have to stay on it for a month before one could figure out where everything is. I guess this size ship is the reason that Panama is investing in adding another and wider lane to the locks on the canal. The video is terrible.

Ever boarded a cruise with luggage? Can u imagine 6300 people, 12500 bags of luggage everybody trying to figure out where their going and just for fun imagine…departure day!..You’d have to be nuts to go on a ship this big.

man….over 8000 people…gotta think they got lots of security?…right?

This is ridiculous. The. Worst. Video. Ever.

I’m on-board with the “ugly & top heavy” comment. Looks like it might flip over in the wake of a power boat. I really don’t get the mentality of those who’d think spending two weeks on a floating hotel is a “getaway.” Dumb stuff.

After you, Stevie! I can’t stand it when there’s always some nut trying to tell people where to go and what to do. That’s dictatorship. Stop dictating to people. I’m certain there are a line of Native Americans wanting you to get on board that ship so they can have their America back, too, but they aren’t as bossy as you!

This ship is the opposite of communism Think about it, do we know of any communist countries that have such a vessel? Please, use that thing sitting on your neck!…It looks like consumerism and capitalism to the hilt! Bigger, more, etc.

I would like to know about the lifeboats for that many passengers…what gives?

The link is to actual video of Oasis of the Seas coming through almost hurricane winds on it’s way to the USA. The captain’s talking about the weather and rough seas and it’s happening behind him. It encountered some pretty tall waves…and not from this video, but in another article, before that storm was over, Oasis had seen over 61 ft. waves! Amazing.
