A couple of pictures showing my newest models compared with some of my existing ones...

Here is the new Scherbak Oasis of the Seas with the Holsatia Song of Norway. It is amazing how much has changed in 40 years of cruising.

Oasis with the Norway, showing her incredible width, and the "Central Park" she has running down the middle of her superstructure

Now we switch to the new Risawoleska Sea Princess, shown with the Risawoleska model of her former self, the Kungsholm. I love the model, but think the ship looked much much nicer as her SAL former self.

Next the lovely Matson Liner, Mariposa, by Hein Muck, with her fleetmate Lurline, by Albatros

Finally two pictures of the collection, which seems to show how large the new Oasis of the Seas is, dominating the shelf she is on.

Thanks for the interesting pictures. So, which of your models fits into the 'Central Park' gap of your Oasis model?

Given the choice, I'd be on the NORWAY, I'm pretty sure that OASIS would be too big for me. I still prefer the lines of the NORWAY, EMERALD SEAS, Q.E. 2, AMERIKANIS and the rest of them to OASIS. That's just my take, I know just about everyone else enjoy the MEGANTICS that we have now.

Claudio,
I have both the Galileo Galilei and the Achille Lauro

I also have the Galileo as a Chandris / Fantasy ship, and Meridian as a Celebrity ship

When I saw these photos on Royal Caribbean's Flickr page, I thought of Thad and his models.
