Is the ship Oasis of the seas unsinkable?

I want to know what others think I've heard others say it was how about you?





Answer :
There's no such thing as an "Unsinkable" ship. A ship can be engineered to be more water tight and even have floatation engineered in, but never unsinkable. The ocean is unforgivable and will find a way to sink a floating item.





Answer :
There is only one way to make an unsinkable boat or ship... And that is to fill the hull with enough flotation foam that it - even if it is blown apart, the pieces would float. This is currently done on many small fishing and recreational type boats.
On an ocean liner however, the cost of the flotation foam would exceed the cost of the vessel... so, it is not done.
So... Can it sink? You bet it can.

Answer :
It is not "unsinkable". People stopped calling ships unsinkable after Titanic. However, it is very VERY HARD to sink it. Many new things have been put on it so it won't sink

We originally wanted to go on a new years cruise but oasis is so cool. Should we go on oasis but not have that really cool experience of new years on a cruise, or is freedom close enough to as cool as the oasis that it wouldn't matter? What are your thoughts? Has anyone been on a new years cruise with freedom? Or is christmas on a cruise cool too?





Answer :
It mostly depends on how big you want the ship to be. There is tons to do on both ships for all age groups, so that won't be a problem. Naturally, the Oasis has more, like the zip line, the diving show, and a carousel. As for the Christmas and new year's cruises, they are both really fun. The christmas cruise can be great but you will probably run into homesick crew, as they don't have the chance to see their family and its hard to call them (been there, done that). The new year's one is great, they will have a count down on the royal promenade and its a great party. Either way, both ships are amazing and you will have fun!!!





Answer :
ive been on both cruises but the oasis really stuck out to me. As a matter of fact i am going on the oasis once again in April. Cozumel is a great place to check out and the food is absolutely delicious.especially on the oasis the board walk and central park is a really nice place to go for a walk especially at night

hope this helps





Answer :
Between these two, I would have to go with Oasis. There is so much buzz right now about this ship. It's the largest in the world and has a really unique design. With the ports being so similar, I'd probably take this opportunity to experience Oasis.

Good luck!





Answer :
I would go with the smaller ship. Oasis just seems to big for my taste. I want to feel like I am on a ship. But if you are interested in the Oasis then go for it.

Are there any similarities between Oasis of the seas and Titanic?

I really want know I am a big fan of ships, thanks!





Answer :

I think the Titanic was so small in comparison that it would make for a nice lifeboat on the Oasis





Answer :

at the time of each ships initial sailing- they both claimed to be the largest most luxurious ship





Answer :

Very few. The fact they sail on water and carry passengers are about the only facts they really have in common. The Titanic was held together with wrought iron rivets, and that was the reason she sank, they couldn't stand the pressure. Also, the Titanic didn't have enough lifeboats, and the crew didn't even have the use of binoculars. Also the Oasis is about 5 times the gross weight of the Titanic.





Answer :

They are/were very luxurious ships for their times. However they were for different purposes, Titanic was an ocean liner used for transport and the Oasis is a cruise ship. They have around the same top speed (~42 knots) and both have three engines supplying the power. They are also the largest passenger vessels of their time (1,184 ft and 883 ft).

That's about all I can think of sorry.
