The Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas caught some nasty North Atlantic weather as she made her way across the pond towards Port Everglades, FL for her first voyage with passengers.  She is crossing without passengers as preparations continue on board with various contractors and workers continue last minute projects.  Royal Caribbean has been posting daily updates from the journey on the ship’s website.  Here’s a video from the Captain of the Oasis of the Seas, documenting their experience in the heavy weather.
