Is Allure of the Seas bigger than Oasis?

The classified length of Allure of the Seas is the same as that of her sister, 360 metres (1,181 ft), though she is reported to be 50 millimetres (2 in) longer than Oasis of the Seas.



Technically, Allure of the Seas is slightly larger than its sister ship, Oasis of the Seas, although they were built to the same general specifications. When Allure of the Seas was measured after its launch, it was found to be approximately 50 millimeters (about 2 inches) longer than Oasis. While this difference is negligible and was likely the result of small temperature variations during the steel cutting and welding process in the shipyard, it was enough for Allure to officially claim the title of the world's largest passenger ship at the time. Both ships belong to the Oasis Class and share nearly identical gross tonnage (around 225,000 GT) and passenger capacities. Since their launches, they have both been surpassed by newer Oasis-class ships like Symphony and Wonder of the Seas, and more recently by the Icon of the Seas, which is currently the largest ship in the world.

When the stabilizers aren't needed, they are retracted into the vessel's side. Older and smaller ships are less likely to have this technology and are much more apt to feel the motion of the ocean. A mega-ship, such as Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas, might just be the best cruise ship to avoid seasickness.
