Oasis of the Seas, from Royal Caribbean International, is one of the largest cruise ships in the world. The vessel launched about a decade ago. But in 2019, it underwent a massive, $165-million renovation. In November, the revamped Oasis set sail in the Caribbean. The ship is so huge it’s broken into seven neighborhoods. One of these, the Youth Zone, is just for kids. On board the ship, kids have their pick of activities. These include laser tag, an escape room, and a giant slide called the Ultimate Abyss. This 10-story thriller is the tallest slide on the high seas. —Ellen Nam
