I can’t get my head around the amount of food and drink on board just to feed the passengers, they must have a large room dedicated to all the waste that cannot be dumped into the sea. Can imagine walking around that ship for a week and not visiting the same place twice 😊
Can you imagine the crowds for every activity on board? And how big of a rescue effort it would take if this ship had a true emergency at sea where passengers needed to be evacuated.
@@tenerifecats6652best cruise I ever took was a Greek Islands cruise with 565 passengers on board. Everything was top notch and crew was very attentive. Off and on the boat with ease for excursions. One dining room , 2 sittings. 1 large pool with several hot tubs. Perfect
@@ReconDog Look at that floating, overcrowded blimp of the seas. I’ve seen the Titanic enough times to consider ‘what if’ scenarios. Tell me, who is rescuing that hoard of people if the unimaginable were to happen? They would need an aircraft carrier!
@@tenerifecats6652So you'll stay home and never do anything worthwhile because of "what if" scenarios that you conjure up from movies? How boring and miserable of a no life is that? I hope you never watch any of the Final Destination films then. You'll freak over everything
@@hylianninjacg7347 Cruise ships are not built to hanle the largest of waves. An ocean liner is, 40 percent more steel and a 65 ft vs 4-45 foot freeboard. Such as the QE2. Built to cross the ocean.
@@hylianninjacg7347 Transatlantic ships like the QM2 are made with 40% more steel, different design, and a 65 foot freeboard to lifeboats vs 40-45. He is correct in what he posted. She travels at a far higher speed through far rougher conditions.
We sailed on Allure of the Seas and unless you're outside or near a window you don't know you're on a ship. No motion at all. 5,000 paying passengers but the ship's so big it doesn't feel crowded.
WOW! It’s intimidating. Don’t know how these mega ships stay afloat. I’ve been on some of the biggest ships, they are so big, you never get to see all of it.
All i can think about when looking at that ship..is the scene in Titanic when Rose asks if J.Bruce Ismay was familiar with Sigmund Freud's observation of men and their preoccupation with size..🤣
@@WNYXeb777 The baltic sea has many storms. Tall waves, high wind speed and horrible weather. The cruise ferries that operate there are literally 2x smaller than the Icon of the Seas, yet they still offer comfort and are incredibly safe. 112+ of massively improved technology, larger ships, better designed vessels to deal with large waves, dozens of lifeboats etc. Yet you still want a life jacket on you at all times?
@@hylianninjacg7347 You bet I can't swim - got sea sick on 6" swells on the Niagara river. Tho I do have a great vid collection of ships and really like those badass rescue n life boats! Hey I grew up with a 4 by 24 ' above ground pool and had JAWS nightmares - gimme a break :)
Hate to be the party pooper here but, I can't stand being around 2 people that I don't know let alone 4-6 thousand. No more than a floating disaster waiting for a place to happen. A regular floating petri dish for of diseases waiting.........All Aboard...!
@@michaellane1316same could be said for a 17hour flight… and you cant walk on the promenade for fresh air either. Its true that COVID and our heightened awareness of other respiratory diseases has changed the travel landscape for ever, but there are risks inherent to all modes of transport. You just need to assay the level of risk to you, the things you can do yourself to mitigate those risks and how much risk you are prepared to take. People use crowded buses and trains every day… i’ll cruise maybe once/twice every 18-24 months. In this context who is more at risk? Particularly if they ignore the risks. 😊 p.s… i do tend to prefer smaller ships.. this one is even too big for my liking 😎
Always makes me wonder when God forbid an emergency happens and for some reason they have to get everyone off can they do it safely without anyone getting hurt or worse killed.
Imagine the day this vessel is the 'old and outdated' one, put of out service and scrapped. Imagine what's going to be taking its place. Mind boggling!
@@jimwhitsett4736If the humans were ants and the steel structure somehow transformed into soil, sticks and other woodland materials, it could be classified as a floating ant hill.
Also, wer das schon findet muss an Geschmacksverirrung leiden. Und mir kann keiner erzählen dass für diese ganzen Menschen an Bord im Ernstfall genügend Rettungsboote vorhanden sind
When there is a disaster, they can’t get almost 10,000 people (passengers and crew total) off this monstrosity, and no insurer will ever underwrite these accidents waiting to happen.
