The much anticipated Oasis of the Seas from the Royal Caribbean International’s fleet will make its maiden voyage in December 2009. This cruise ship is larger, longer, heavier, bigger, and more costly than any other. In fact the journey just to reach the stern is a quarter of a mile. With the advanced infrastructure and state of the art facilities, the Oasis of the Seas is one of the best places to get a cruise ship job.

There are 18 decks in total where the crew of 2165 will work in a variety of positions from deckhand, to steward, massage therapist, chef and more. The great thing about this cruise ship is that it is not a carbon copy of other cruise liners. There are brand new attractions that have never been seen before on a cruise ship. This means that the variety of jobs on offer is astounding.

Oasis of the Seas Launches

Just some of the attractions include an open air park with hanging gardens and actual trees, a merry go round at the boardwalk area, and a full theatre which is showing the Broadway musical version of Hairspray. There is also a casino, so if you are experienced in working at a casino, this could be the perfect way to travel at the same time.

The layout of the Oasis is also revolutionary with a top quality interior that almost feels as if you are walking into a massive sports stadium than a ship. Instead of having all the cabins in the center as is usually done on other cruise liners, the cabins are located on either side of the vessel with a glass covered atrium left in the middle. This is called the Royal Promenade as is longer than a football field and filled with shops, restaurants and the very first sea based cupcake store. It has the feeling of a shopping mall, and this would be a great place to work if you are interested in cruise ship jobs in retail and the hospitality industry.

Moving up a few decks you will find Central Park which is like a plaza that you find in between apartment buildings. The arrival of the ship in Fort Lauderdale will see over 2000 plants installed in this area on the deck. Guests can sit under the Caribbean sky amongst peaceful trees and bushes while they enjoy a steak and sip on a cocktail. These are just two of the seven “neighborhoods” that make up the Oasis of the Seas. Another is located towards the stern, called the Boardwalk and is made with faux wood tiles that lead to the high diving pool. There are amphitheater arranged seats around the pool so that guests can enjoy watching synchronized swimming displays and acrobatic diving.

There is also a Sports Zone, which is a common sight on many cruise liners. This is located on top of the cabins and contains two rock climbing walls, four swimming pools, a basketball court, a mini golf course, a zip line, jogging track, and two water rides that simulate surfing. There are plenty of sports instructor jobs and fitness jobs you can get in this massive area.

For family fun there is also a massive children’s play area, an entertainment area with the theater, spa, and large gym, as well as an ice rink, the casino, and comedy stage along with a few nightclubs. These all offer brilliant job opportunities for those that are sick of the usual grindstone and want to enjoy some adventure. The great thing about this massive cruise ship is that people are encouraged to stay on board and enjoy the facilities. This was done to give people more to do on board and get rid of the mentality that only the elderly can enjoy cruises.

With all the shops, eateries, entertainment and sports on board the Oasis of the Seas, it is easy to see why finding the perfect cruise liner job is simple.
