Royal Caribbean recently held a preview of the shows to be performed in their new AquaTheater on Oasis of the Seas when it’s launched later this year. Here’s our video of the event held at International Swimming Hall of Fame in Ft. Lauderdale. The two shows will be called Oasis of Dreams and Splish Splash (a comedy) and will feature divers (from as high as 72 feet), synchronized swimmers, and trampoline gymnasts. Below the video are more pictures and information.

The evening started with a full cruise-style buffet. There were pictures of the Oasis and this partial model on display.
After exiting the buffet and the Swimming Hall of Fame, the travel agent and media guests passed by the traveling Clues to Cruise truck. Here they could try for prizes and log-on to cluestothecruise.com.
Some of Royal Caribbean's dancers were modeling different period swimming suits.
After some announcements from various executives, including naming the captain of the Oasis, Capt. Bill Wright, the show began with divers doing different spectacular dives from various heights.
Next up was a gymnast performing high flying moves on a trampoline.
Next up were four synchronized swimmers. After they performed, we saw some comedic dived from the show Splish Splash.
To end the evening, eight-time Olympian and high-dive champion Dana Kunze, who's also the Director/Producer of Splish Splash, dove into the pool from 72-feet. That's how high the highest platform on the ship will be.

The Oasis of the Seas will launch toward the end of this year. Visit oasisoftheseas.com for more information.
Ok, I’m sure the show is good, but if you have seen the pictures of Oasis of the Seas, then you will see that the theater isn’t covered. So no shows if it’s raining?
