Damn, that's a big f..king ship!!
 

Blimey, I'd love to have a walk around the engine room on that. :)

Unbelievable. Butlins on water though.

So whats a cruise like then?

Never been on one and never really interested me but it looks nice.

Quite enjoyed it ,you should givec it a try :thumb:

Is that not Matteboy in Pic 1?

Don't think I'd like to be on it, if it went down.

I bet they get a serious amount of Vpower Diesel points when they fill that up!!!

EDIT - just read that it has a 6.3million litre diesel tank, so at todays prices thats £7.5million to fill her up!!

Surely be like a week in Benidorm, but the view changes every day?

I seen that in the paper. Absolutely huuuuuge!!!! would take a few hours to walk round it :D

sounds awful - either chavs or grannies smelling of piss. hows's that a holiday?!

Youd could probably walk thro the engines on something that size i guess :D

As long as you were on the top deck you wouldn't drown ;)

company i work for designed some of it

I'm booked on that for June, can't wait. :D

Do you think they want you to know its the worlds biggest and newest cruise ship?
astraboy.

Nope, he'd have a c0ck on his head if so.

Chop :)

:lol1:

I did get that impression :D

not many life boats on it? im sure there will be room for everyone but there was on the titanic :D

only till next year tho !

was a big article in sunday times t'other week.

has 18 lifeboats each carrying 370 people

Other stats.....

21 swimming pools
7000 original works of art
1,250 CTV cameras...so easy to get three points here as well!

and other stuff I cant be ars*d to type

Amazing. They should make a zombie movie on this one. :D

The engineering is very impressive but I couldn't take a trip on it, a floating council estate !

When you do a "cruise" does the boat stop off at various places so you can disembark and go for a walkabout round new places?

Or are you confined to the ship at all times?

I would. I can't swim.

I know some tefal heads will/should have designed it properly, but it looks so top heavy to me - wouldn't fancy being caught in a caribbean hurricane in that.

Got to agree as well - can't imagine ever enjoying being on one of these cruises as I have an aversion to being surrounded by loads of people with webbed feet, fat Americans with blue and pink hair and the great smell of eau de wee...

I was about to post the exact same comment! Hardly looks like a classy affair onboard!

Big mamma - 3rd last picture.

In those promo pics were they trying to convey a feeling of space, or was there really only 5-6 people on board :wonder: This sort of thing amuses me when the Beeb feature it on the news. They're usually all 'Ooh, look at this massive ship, isn't it impressive.........and in other news, some green eco-tosspot lying politician is wanting to scrounge another £50 out of everybodies pockets because eating baked beans makes us fart, and this contributes to anthropogenic global climate tax raping'. Shipping is a much bigger eco-nightmare than even air travel, but for some reason gets mostly ignored :confused:

What , like these ones ? :D

YouTube - Cruise Ship in Rough Seas

YouTube - never again a cruise

YouTube - Huge Wave hits cruise ship

Im not convinced they havnt 'added' to the last one
