[Default] Thus spake "sherlock1" :
>I agree with the posters on this list the Oasis of the Seas is too large. I
>prefer medium sizes ships like Azamara, Oceania, Regent, and Crystal.
>
>Now, I may be prejudiced as I have sailed on a **very** large ship, although
>not as large of the OOTS, but with almost as many people. It was an
>interesting and long cruise in South East Asia, but not very luxurious or
>relaxing.
>
>Why?
>
>1. Decor - Boring. Essentially all vertical surfaces, inside and out, and
>lots of other things were gray - haze gray.
>
>2. Deck Space and Public Spaces - Large, but useless. Lots of deck space on
>the top deck, but with airplanes taking off and landing. A very big public
>space one deck down, probably larger that OOTS, but filled with airplanes,
>helicopters, and equipment for their repair.
>
>3. Shore Excursions -- Poor, but free. Only a few hundred of the 6,000+
>people aboard could go on Shore Excursions, myself not included, and the
>excursions were very short, almost a "fly by."
4. Food was horrible. Plentiful, but horrible. The eggs were always
scrambled and runny, almost as if they were poured out of a carton.
5. The on deck entertainment was just too darned loud. Lots of pretty
lights and the choreography was fantastic.

>OTOH, I got to know a lot about Nuclear Ship Propulsion Systems and they let
>me drive from time to time.

I've seen two t-shirts you can appreciate. One I bought for a friend,
the other I saw on a guy at Disneyworld.
For Jerry: "Join the Army, learn a trade. So I became a sniper"
The WDW one: "Join the Navy, see the world. SSBN 57" (I think that's
right. The Ohio?)
