Oasis of the Seas is 362 metres (1,187 feet) long, which is about the same length as 12 blue whales or 3.3 football fields!

Oasis of the Seas has a beam of 66 metres (215 feet). Beam is another word for width, when we’re talking about the size of cruise ships.

There are 18 decks on Oasis of the Seas and 11 of these have cabins. These are accessed by a whopping 24 guest elevators, with more elevators that are just for crew members.
