About Oasis of the Seas
Oasis of the Seas revolutionized cruising when it launched in 2009 as the world's largest cruise ship, introducing the groundbreaking neighborhood concept that has since defined Royal Caribbean's mega-ships. At 225,282 gross tons, Oasis pioneered features like Central Park (living park at sea), the Boardwalk, and the AquaTheater.
The ship underwent a $165 million Royal Amplification in 2019, adding the Ultimate Abyss slide, waterslides, Music Hall nightclub, and new dining options. This refresh brought Oasis in line with its newer sister ships while maintaining the innovation that made it legendary.
Oasis of the Seas remains a favorite for families and cruisers who appreciate the ship that started the mega-ship revolution. Sailing from various ports, Oasis offers Caribbean itineraries with visits to Perfect Day at CocoCay and popular island destinations.

Switching From Costco Paid Off
We almost booked with Costco for Royal Caribbean. They offered a small rebate card, but Zipsea added $400 in OBC...

The Real Deal!
Great OBC offers and comparable price to other sites. Had no issues with the booking or getting the OBC credited to my account. Customer service has been very responsive to my questions and needs.
Rebecca
Exemplary Service
Zipsea was able to give me onboard credit that Celebrity or other agents couldn't match. When the price dropped, I texted Mario and within 5 minutes he repriced my booking and saved me almost $1000.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Oasis of the Seas significant?
Oasis of the Seas was revolutionary when it launched in 2009, introducing the neighborhood concept, Central Park living environment, and AquaTheater. It doubled the size of previous cruise ships and set the template for modern mega-ships.
What was added during Oasis of the Seas' amplification?
The 2019 Royal Amplification added the Ultimate Abyss slide, Perfect Storm waterslides, Music Hall nightclub, Portside BBQ, Giovanni's Italian Kitchen, and enhanced kids and teen spaces.
How old is Oasis of the Seas?
Oasis of the Seas launched in December 2009, making it one of Royal Caribbean's more seasoned vessels. The 2019 amplification modernized the ship with current features and technology.
What is onboard credit (OBC)?
Onboard credit is ship money you can use during your cruise—like a prepaid gift card. Spend it on drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, spa treatments, excursions, or onboard shopping.
How does Zipsea give me more onboard credit than others?
Travel agents earn commission on every booking, and most keep it. We don't—we pass back the maximum onboard credit the cruise line allows, every time.
Do I pay more to book with Zipsea?
No. You pay the same published fare you'd see on the cruise line's website—except we give you back the maximum onboard credit on top.
How much onboard credit will I actually get?
It depends on your fare and the cruise line's rules. As a ballpark, shorter cruises usually allow $50–$100 and longer cruises $150–$500+. When you search a sailing, we show you the exact amount.
