These cruise ships keep getting uglier. The straight bow is interesting.

Prefer a fishing trip in Canada’s pristine lakes. Walleye will always be my favorite fish.

I hope they did the math right on the strength of the hull, safety and training issues. History is littered with mistakes from the Titanic to the Costa Concordia.

It’s a combo floating Petrie dish and ant farm.

Gack.

“ Despite claims that the LNG being used is better than traditional marine fuel, environmentalists believe the ship poses high risks for methane emissions….”

One look at obese clientele in the buffet lineup, and I would tend to agree. My sister went on one of these cruises and the staff referred to these waddling buffet goers as Jersey Giants.

Too top-heavy, it won’t last long.

The Royal Caribbean has said the Icon is 24 percent more efficient when it comes to carbon emissions than required by the International Maritime Organization …

Oh, well then, I’m sold! Let’s sail!

NOT!!

Maybe this is where entropy12 has been!

One of the 8,000 pax.

No, thanks!

I still think it looks like it was built and painted by a bunch of Panama bus drivers.

The latest grotesquery of modern civilization. 8000 human bodies sharing the same ship is about as disgusting as it gets.

A viking river cruise was truly relaxing. 190 passengers, no crowding, everyone eats at the same time. And no kids! Enjoyed every minute of our 14 day trip Amsterdam to Budapest. I was on navy aircraft carriers (2) and the 5k crew was quite enough for me.

I hope there are enough life boats for 8000 passengers and 3000 crew.

“..The straight bow is interesting.”

Kind of a barge to haul people.

Glad they didn’t name it “Titan...”

That doesn’t seem to end well.

Almost 13.000 people on board. That’s a lot of lifeboats.
