Woo hoo! Good to know she floats.
 I'm excited to see the progress.

She looks a bit squat in the water...more like a containership than a cruise ship...

She may get more superstructure, but not much. Typically there are only a couple of decks above the navigation bridge. Speaking of which, the captain will definitely need roller-skates to get from wing to wing on that one! Another reason it may look kind of squat is that it has an enormous beam, or breadth.
The front view really doesn't look bad, proportionally. It will be interesting to see what the stern treatment looks like. But I will not sail in Oasis. Too big and too many people. When fully loaded with crew and passengers, Oasis of the Sea could be the biggest city in several countries around this world.

Oasis is to have two captains for her initial season...(probably one for the port and one for the starboard side...not to mention one for forwards and one for backwards)

That is good that this massive ship will have 2 Captains...at least to start off. I'm so excited to sail on this, the most innovative, engineering marvel of a ship ever built. History in the making the way I see it.
