It's Rihanna On A Boat, As The 'Oasis' Floats
While we were having a little Thursday night drink near Times Square last night, Rihanna was performing in the Opal Theater on Royal Caribbean's newest, biggest, largest cruise ship ever: the Oasis of the Seas to celebrate the night before her first cruise out of the Fort Lauderdale.
Then, this morning as we mixed some instant cappuccino in our modest kitchen, the Oasis set sail from the US with 5,400 passengers for her first voyage, a preview cruise that included the Good Morning America gang. While going about our mundane day, it was weird to remove ourselves from the scene for a moment and think about what was taking place; that the 225,000-ton ship with 20-ish restaurants and a freaking Central Park with live foliage, was floating. And with pop culture personalities, no less.

Rihanna's performance was the first official concert performed onboard, and Good Morning America was the first major television show broadcasted from the ship. We particularly enjoyed this GMA clip of the all the ship facts, and the host with the captain sitting in some sort of "wave bar" onboard.
Of course everyone and their moms are either onboard the ship, covering the launch, or just plain writing about it like we are, so we'll leave off here. You'll hear plenty about the ship in the next few days, we're sure. But of course, we can't neglect to post the comparison of the ship with the Empire State Building—so classic.
