Very neat indeed. Captain Wright should be very proud!

I don't know why but Oasis of the Seas it reminds me of Titanic and I don't mean in size, neither in color or it has nothing to do with technology as well. But I think that for some reason this ship is going to be a legend!

@Kmartfor3 Both ships are 225, 282 GRT. The structure of the ships are the same. Both ships are amazing and offer an experience unlike any other ship in the world!

Captain Bill Wright is the MAN!

Speaking of the US Navy, I read about an incident involving a US Navy convoy. The Navy Captain was informed of an approaching vessel on a collision course with the Navy ships. The Captain notifies the approaching ship and instructs it to alter course. To the Captain's surprise the other ship refuses to give-way. The Navy Captain gets into an uncomfortable verbal exchange and tells the oncoming ship that he is the Captain of a US Navy vessel and he will not deviate from his course, and will ram the other ship if it doesn't give-way. To the Captain's dismay the other ship's response was "Go Ahead, if that is what you really want to do." A moment later the Navy Captain realizes that he has been speaking to a man on an island. The Captain makes an immediate course change and not another word was said as the Navy ships slowly give way and goes around the island.

Our clients loved this too!

Wow that's incredible great video thanks

thankyou so much Capt..it was a wealth of information and i loved it

The ISPS-code does not say anything about having visitors on the bridge. Its up to the captain to decide.

Im building one of these ships in my garage, finish date: march 2200

Near, far, wherever you are, you are safe in my ❤ and my ❤ will go on.

AMAZING SHIP

What fun!

This man seems pretty competent, not the usual Schettino.

I love how the ship is still rocking even if it is more than 220,000 GT haha

I don't know why, but I was expecting it to look more like a star trek bridge

if you want to know what a future space frigate will look like, here it is.

you cant compare the shitty carnival to royal carribean...royal carribean offers so much more like service, always clean, fun for all, best food anyone has ever eaten, and do anything to make sure your vacation is the best vacation you have ever dreamed of...love this ship going on in just 9 m0re days

I have travling with M/S Galaxy from seden to turku an also see the STX

Really the difference with modern oil tanker is not so big, cause nav.equipment is mostly the same all over the world, so as the maritime conventions requirements.

I wish your camera was as sophisticated.

The level of sophistication of the Oasis of the Sea is far greater than that of a Navy War Ship - umm ??? reeeely

@Paralyzer if your not being sarcastic the titanic was in the 18 or 19 hundreds, we didn't have technology then.

Ah.. no. They are currently building her sister ship. They usually build these suckers in 2's and 3's because basically the tooling cost to build one is most of it. It actually costs just about the same to make 2 or 3 as it would to just make one. I know that doesn't sound logical on the surface of it but that's engineering. They contract out the price of both or all 3 vessels at once and spread the cost across all vessels of the same platform.

Where does this beast travel ? Will it come to Europe ?

Wait so the supplier is Northrop Grumman?! 😳

Dear Sir, I understand you never been to sea at all !! Because, its highly advantageous as quarter master can have the best vision. in some ships his vision is at times by mistake obscured by pilot walking in bridge during night !!! :)

I have been to sea but it seams so weird to put the steering wheel away from navigation.

is there a bridge cam

@NICKmv573 ironically they usually have that

You have some very nice manners but you don't need to call me sir but I thank you for all the manners and comments

I did not realize cruise ships were still giving bridge tours. I thought bridge tours were discontinued on all ships after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 for security reasons. Which lines offer bridge tours and galley tours?

if you look fast at 2:37 you see a Tsunami XD

I wonder what a captain from the time of the ocean liners would think about this.

Sadly said a VOR 70 racing yacht has more sophisticated technology regarding navigation and weather routing and most importantly the know how how to use them then this giant monster. Captain is trusting his LCD screens like Edward John Smith trusted that Titanic can't sink but he managed to sink it.

bruh when i was on it me and my friends were messing around on the phone and called the bridge which the number was 6969

Can put a view of the pool on the CCTV?

HYVÄ SUOMI!

If all the ships steering and maneuvering can be done from the navigation officers station, why even have a separate helmsman station and helm?

Ice cude right ahead

So with advanced technology, driving a cruise ship today is a piece of cake,

@orison319 if they called her unsinkable

@Paralyzer They knew about the iceberg. They thought the ship could take it.

Being a helmsman looks tiring just standing there

wikipedia says the crew is of 2394 persons, that means that it needs 2394 workers or "pilots" to make the ship run? or those 2394 of the crew are also the butler, cookers, janitors, etc? The point of my question is how many people does it takes to pilot the ship? In airplanes we know they are only 2 the pilot and co pilot but here i see at least 20 people on the bridge control room... Damn this is aboslutely my dream job, captain of that ship... even that im afraid of seas/ oceans...

Captain: "The level of sophistication is far greater than the level of sophistication on the U.S navy warships" That sir, is a very bold statement.

Captain Wright is right. I just wonder if she is hardened against EMP. And could he go to old fasioned celesial navigation like ANY USN captain could?

I am wondering how many Captains are there to put Oasis at sea?

How much is a family pack of 4 adults for a trip on this? 100.000 U$D?

i am finish

much cheaper than paying $100 or so for a bridge tour.

That wasnt a smart adea putting the man with the steering wheel away from the navigation equipment I in my life would never design a ship that way.

My apologies Sir

I think this captain would be surprised at what some of the warships would have in the way of electronics, not everything is advertised or talked about, for good reason.

Amazing technology for an Ex M.N guy.

Cool ship but almost 200 peoples will be fired now that the ship has left the dock in Turku. Its a shame.

LOOK LIKE A380 COKE PET.

11 days?? wtf... with 50 km/h or lets say 45km/h you need a max of 6 to 7 days to cross it. .. ok, slowing down on purpose, but SO slow? ^^

LOL really? You are aware that the Titanic disaster happened in 1912 and there were no computers, satellites, etc., right?

@Paralyzer lol:)

@ViCe1986 Lol the Captain should know better than to make an ignorant comment, if he has no idea what "99%" of the systems on a US navy ships are.. Unless he really does think his ship is that badass. My opinion... he is just some guy who thinks his shit dont stink.

Pretty sure your “sophistication” is not greater than any US Navy vessel, but nice try.

More sophisticated than the Ford. Doubt the Oasis is nuclear powered. Nice try though

They won't let passengers onto the bridge anymore when ISIS smashes one into the Seaworld Trade Center. Now I feel bad. I think 9/11 jokes are still too early.
