    What's on board the largest cruise ship in the world?

    Did anyone catch the article with huge graphics in the March 3rd edition of the Wall Street Journal?

    A huge graphical layout of the Oasis of the Seas, with insets containing a ton if interesting facts about the ship.

    Some of these included:

    • Guests consume 20 gallons of maraschino cherries on each cruise.
    • Guests drink about 80,000 bottles of beer during every cruise.
    • Every day at 5 p.m., Larry Lindsay from Worcester, England, walks through the main public areas playing his bagpipe.
    • The ship has a landing pad for helicopters in case of emergency.
    • Crew does laundry (including over 20,000 towels, table cloths and sheets) in the belly of the ship, 24 hours a day.
    • While most of the ship's 86,111 square feet of exterior glass is washed by hand, 18 robots wash windows in hard to reach places.
    • There are 26 kitchens for 24 restaurants and the staff cafeteria.
    • When more Germans are on board, extra pork is ordered. Americans favor chicken and beef.
    • Divers, gymnasts, and synchronized swimmers perform in the AquaTheater. The performance gets cancelled weekly due to high seas.

    Neat stuff... I remember the bagpipe player and the divers and gymnasts were just amazing, 110%.

    FYI ---
