"Oasis of the Seas Balloon Mystery Solved!"

"The secret's out: The strange spherical object that's tethered to Oasis of
the Seas and floating above the ship as it undergoes sea trials is indeed a

i can only imagine what they will charge �for that. �They have this at
the Philadelphia Zoo But its prettier then that one, Its all colorful
and shaped like a balloon.i will pas on this

The insurance alone to operate this will add to the expences,
especially on a cruise ship.
