The size of these cruise ships relative to the people getting off

    1. They are ships with no grace or style. Just floating shops, restaurants, casinos filled with people and (sometimes also) poop.

    2. I have a few pictures from my cruise and ya the scale when you get off at Port is insane

    3. I find their size quite scary. My mind starts thinking, “If these started taking on water, they aren’t staying upright for very long.”

    4. Only cruise I’ve been on is 70,000 tons of Metal. Fucking amazing. Haven’t tried a normal cruise yet.

    5. Altruistic-Resort-56 on

      ~~Dang I think I was on the right side one – I can’t remember for certain, there were one or two of that class. We were in the state room sticking out of the side, on the lower floor with a balcony.~~

      Nevermind, Carnival Conquest not queen of the seas

      Hated the rest of the cruise but the room was nice

    6. First thing they taught us in Intro to Cruise Ship Design was to make sure the ship is bigger than the people on it.

    7. Oasis class. Not even the largest RC has to offer.

      Had a wonderful time on Symphony. Met some awesome folks. Not a bad way to spend a week.

    8. AGrandNewAdventure on

      It’s basically a giant strip mall on water (you paid for the stores with your ticket price.) I don’t see the appeal.

    9. It does make me wonder if humanity will build cities over oceans one day. Has an airport, schools, hospitals etc. Since it’ll be international waters, own laws.

    10. There used to be a Google maps image of one of those monsters next to the USS Iowa. The size difference was incredible (the cruise ship dwarfed the battleship)

    11. I lived along the Hudson river between NY/NJ. You see these boats float down daily multiple times. They are massive, it looked like the tool a skyscraper in NYC, knocked it down and use it as a boat

    12. It will never not blow my mind seeing a size comparison between the titanic and a modern cruise ship.
