FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines is providing a sneak peak inside the world's largest cruise ship ready to take passengers for a trip unlike any other.

The 16-deck Oasis of the Seas is the tallest, widest, largest ship ever constructed. "Unbelievable, it's beyond anything you can describe," said Jan Sage who enjoyed a peek inside the ship.

The ship is so massive it has "neighborhoods," parks, squares and arenas with special themes for you to enjoy. "The boardwalk, the carousel, ice cream parlor. That's my favorite," said cruise enthusiast Samantha Barren.

Also on the boardwalk is a rock climbing wall. It overlooks the aqua theatre, which is a pool by day.

Passengers can stroll through Central Park, sit at an outdoor cafe surrounded by greenery.

If you're in the mood for scenery, check out the solarium with its own healthy cafe. "This ship is awesome. We stayed up late last night till 1a.m. and woke up at 5:30 this a.m.," said Beth Otten, who loves the ship.

If family time is more you're speed, head over to the kids' pool.

The ship also has an ice skating ring, golf connoisseur, surfing and zip lining for the more adventurous.

The royal suite is on the 17th floor, and it's said that one night in the room promises total rejuvenation.

The Oasis of the Seas will embark on its first cruise from Port Everglades on Dec. 5.
