MS ''Oasis of the Seas'' is an , delivered to her owner, Royal Caribbean International, in October 2009. The first of her class, she was joined by her sister ship in December 2010.〔 Both vessels cruise the Caribbean from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.〔 She set a new record of carrying over 6,000 passengers.〔 ''Oasis of the Seas'' surpassed the cruise ships (also owned by Royal Caribbean) to become the largest cruise ship in the world at that time.〔 She has, however, been surpassed by her sister ship ''Allure of the Seas'', which is longer, although this difference may have been caused by different ambient temperatures at the times the measurements were made.〔 == History == The vessel was ordered in February 2006 and designed under the name "Project Genesis". Her keel was laid down on 12 November 2007 by STX Europe Turku Shipyard, Finland.〔 The company announced that full funding for ''Oasis of the Seas'' was secured on 15 April 2009.〔 The name ''Oasis of the Seas'' resulted from a competition held in May 2008.〔 During the first float-out of the vessel the tugboats that were pulling the ship from its dock failed to control the ship, resulting in the port side of the ship hitting the dock. This resulted in some cosmetic damage and minor damage to the hull, which was repaired and did not affect the final delivery date of the vessel.〔 The ship was completed and turned over to Royal Caribbean on 28 October 2009. Two days later, she departed Finland for the United States. While exiting the Baltic Sea, the vessel passed underneath the Great Belt Fixed Link in Denmark on 1 November 2009. The bridge has a clearance of above the water; ''Oasis'' normally has an air draft of . The passage under the bridge was possible due to retraction of the telescoping funnels, and an additional was gained by the squat effect whereby vessels traveling at speed in a shallow channel will be drawn deeper into the water.〔 Approaching the bridge at , the ship passed under it with less than of clearance. Proceeding through the English Channel, ''Oasis'' stopped briefly in the Solent so that 300 shipyard workers who were on board doing finishing work could disembark, then left on the way to her intended home port of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.〔 The ship arrived there on 13 November 2009, where tropical plants were installed prior to some introductory trips and her maiden voyage on 5 December 2009. While Royal Caribbean's chief of captains William S. Wright was in command of the ship's journey across the Atlantic and also for the first few sailings, navigation of ''Oasis of the Seas'' is regularly handled by Trym Selvag and Thore Thorolvsen. ''Oasis'' had a minor refit in winter 2011, adding the DreamWorks Experience which allows passengers to interact with characters, such as Shrek, on board the ship. The ''Oasis''-class also now features 3D movies. ''Oasis'' underwent a second drydock refit in October 2014. During drydock the ship was modified to support Dynamic Dining, adding the suite-only "Coastal Kitchen" restaurant to the Viking Crown and dividing the main dining room into three separate restaurants: "American Icon Grill", "The Grande", and "Silk". In addition, the Broadway-style production of ''Hairspray'' was replaced with a production of ''Cats''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MS Oasis of the Seas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
