Here is a good comparison of the Oasis and Freedom class that was posted on another board. This was taken just a few weeks back of the Oasis and Indy sailing from FLL.

Oasis looks good and not much different than the Freedom class. Epic doesn't even come close.

Would love to have seen this picture from a different perspective, with OoTS in the background.

Yep-Oasis looks very good when viewed from the side. The 3/4 angles look a little odd w/her massive beam. RCI did a very good job w/such a massive ship.

I wonder how empty she is this week. On our sailing it had to of been 1,000-1,500 passengers from Europe.

I thought this might be the case, but since most flights are canceled I wondered what good waiting a few extra hours would do? Maybe it was a group coming down from Orlando or something, or maybe delayed flights from South America?
On my sailing as well, there were around 2000+ non-US citizens. I thought this was pretty cool and rather unusual for a Caribbean cruise on a US branded ship. It really provided the ship with a diverse, International atmosphere. We heard many different languages.
It's great RCI is attracting so many foreigners to this ship.
