I really wanna go on the oasis of the sea next year really bad but..................?

i'm very scared that it will sink like titanic i know its in the Caribbean but i am still scared






Answer :
Well, first of all there is virtually no chance you will strike an iceberg. In addition modern cruise ships have more than enough lifeboats and rafts for all of the passengers, in the time of the Titanic they were not required to have as many and this is one of the reasons there was so much loss of life. In addition the steel used to make the Titanic was faulty making it brittle in the cold Atlantic waters. Since that time the understanding of the effects of various impurities in metals and how they affect them has come a long way and metal such as used in the making of the Titanic can not be used.

The odds of a ship sinking these days are very slim, especially in charted waters like the Caribbean. If that unlikely event were to occur you would have hours to get off the ship and by that time there would be dozens of other ships on hand to assist. Although ships have sunk there has been little or no loss of life in recent decades and there have been no sinking's of cruise ships in the area you are going to.

I have cruised and will continue to do so....after all it is safer than crossing the street.





Answer :
First off let's remember the Titanic was 97 years ago, a lot has changed. Also there are enough lifeboats for EVERYONE on board. There are no ice bergs in the caribbean, and there are computers driving the ship and looking out for objects, human error caused the sinking of the Titanic. There are still crew members on the lookout for things a computer might not detect so that is yet another added precaution. If you are very concerned I would get a cabin just above the lifeboats. Pay close attention to the muster drill, read over the safety information. There are over 100 cruise ships and millions of people cruise every year, and they all safely enjoy their vacation. Don't let your fear keep you from the chance to go on Oasis of the Seas. Have a great trip, you will be fine!






Answer :
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Something does happen to the ship that could cause it to sink.

Ships don't usually sink really fast.
You're in the Caribbean. The water is not freezing cold. You won't die of hypothermia.
There are MANY ships in the area that will come to your rescue.
You are only a couple hours (max) flight from multiple Coast Guard stations.

BEST CASE SCENARIO: Take the trip and have the time of your life!

Go to the muster drill. Pay attention and learn what to do in an emergency. Make a personal plan should something happen.






Answer :
have to say i think that ship is horrible.
it wont sink and if it does you wont die it will sink slow enough that you will be in a lifeboat. nowdays we have machines scanning far ahead if theres anything that is dangerous you will miss it for sure.






Answer :
it won't

Titanic was caused by horrible ship design and human negligence and that's all been fixed

Oasis is a brand new ship and cost over a billion dollars to make so I'm sure the crew and captain will be VERY careful

Titanic vs. Oasis of the Sea?

im doing a research paper with comparing and contrasting these to cruise ships. i have any contrasting, but barely any comparing. Can someone give me some idea's please





Answer :
The ship surpasses the Freedom-class cruise ships (also owned by Royal Caribbean) as the world's largest passenger vessel. (As Titanic did in her time)

They were built almost 100 years apart.

Only rich people can afford to sail right now :)
