I was on the Jewel OTS June '08 and the Capt was doing his talk. He
said he thought that the Oasis would have the same impact on cruising as
the 747 did on flying. It would require a major rethinking of the entire
industry from ports (or airports) to both ends of the boarding, to
safety issues, to (in the case of the cruise industry) such things as
finding enough things for people to do at the ports.
I did not think at the time (nor do I now) that this was just Corp.
hyperbole.
