You’ve become one of Royal’s best marketing people. A fascinating tour. We have no idea the technology that goes into a cruise ship. Thank you for showing us this rare look. And thank you, Royal, for supporting Chris.
Very cool Chris! It would be so interesting if RC would let you interview an engineer who could explain what we are seeing inside the funnels. The behind the scenes scoop! 😁👍
Totally agree. Likewise visiting other areas of the ship with engineers would be fascinating. Many of us are interested to know how cruise ships work, including how they process sewage, waste water, generate electricity and how they produce enormous quantities of drinking water.
Chris. You were looking at the different componets to comprise an Air Conditioner. You had the giant fan turbines that push the cold air through the ship, and also the codensor/exchanges that create the cold air, as well as the exhaust ports that push air out of the ship to allow for equalization of airflow.
The IMO number is the unique number given to each ship. Did Alot of googling to find out what this was about 2 weeks ago as our bankers wanted the IMO numbers for an import. First time we were asked and it is no where on shipping docs. But we eventually were able to track down. Great to see where it is on ships 😂
Thanks Chris for the truly amazing behind the scenes look at the fabulous ship that we were just on with you. Glad to see Cristiano working so hard while y’all are in dry dock. 😂 Please tell him hello for us. Can’t wait to see your full length feature film of your dry dock experience.
The IMO number stands for the ship’s International Maritime Organization number. All self propelled ships over 100 gross ton of weight are required to have such identification number & it must be posted somewhere conspicuous on the ship’s hull.
They may be working on the "Telescopic Funnel" This will allow the funnels to lower when passing under the Verazanno Narrows Bridge when she home ports to Cape Liberty in Bayonne, NJ next year. Great Video. . . Thanks Chris.
WOW I find this stuff amazing, always interested in seeing the inner workings and so appreciate you sharing this and more importantly the cruise line allowing you to do so 😮
I really like that your showcasing and representing Royal Carribbean staff and jobs that don't normally get acknowledged or show cased. Bravo to all those Individuals In the tunnels! Thank you!!
Chris love this!!!! Thanks for sharing this look at places we will never see. We will be going to Alaska on RC in June maybe we can catch you next year. BTW Chris if you goole Cadiz and go to maps and use the satellite view you can see Symphony in the dry dock !!!!!!!!!
Chris - thank you for giving us a look at some of the inner workings of this majestic machinery - I hope to sail on the Symphony in October (Rome). As I am a Brooklyn girl, I am also looking forward to sailing on Symphony frequently as her home port will be my favorite port, Cape Liberty, starting November 2024.
THANK YOU! I have done 2 Dry Docks and a New Build and guests have NO IDEA what those entail and the amount of work that can be done in such a short time. I hope they get some great education from your videos.
I had a crown loft suite on decks 17 & 18 and heard people walking around up above us. Now I know it was an area for smoke stacks thanks to your video. Maybe crew relaxation areas as evidenced by the deck chairs up there? Awesome video Chris! 👍🏼👍🏼
FYI Chris, the IMO number you mentioned up there on the roof: The IMO number of the International Maritime Organization is a generic term covering two distinct meanings. The IMO ship identification number is a unique ship identifier. So there you have it. Each ship over a certain tonnage has an IMO number assigned. Great episode. Perhaps you could have told us what your job was.
@@gailgohrick5836 He is usually a casino host but he choose to stay onboard and work during Dry Dock. He has been assigned the job of Fire Watch during Dry Dock.
Yeah, I think ocean liner designs covers an older version of those fans, but you are right. Those are designed to channel air ether out of the ship, and apply positive pressure on the system so that it can channel air into the ship. It's how they get air in and out of the ship.
The side that they were working looks like fresh air ducts. There are many filters just ahead of the access to the duct. They seem to be working on one of the fans.
This is an amazing video. Thank you for showing us the stuff. We never get to see, but wonder about. I would hope Royal Caribbean is really pleased with your videos. Because… It makes happy!
Superb vlog. I’m fascinated to learn more about what happens behind the scenes on cruise ships. It would be interesting to take an engineer colleague around with you, he/she could explain what is happening and how the various mechanisms on the ship work. Four years ago, whilst on Viking Sea, my wife and I went on a guided tour of the engine room, kitchens, and where they process waste water. We also visited the bridge and the captains quarters. Seeing where they store fresh, frozen and chilled food was fascinating. The sheer quantity of food prepared onboard is astonishing. Whilst in dry dock it is amazing how much work takes place simultaneously and that strict health and safety procedures are followed, including employing the regular crew as fire watch officers 🔥🧯🛳️
Awesome, I believe the switchboard is what allows the smoke stack to retrack and track upwards. They retracted to do the crossing and go under a bridge. The numbers I believe is a call sign.
Happy Friday Chris!!! Very cool that you're being able to capture some of the work going on. Especially up in the funnel areas. 👍 Can't help you with the numbers you showed us. But, I'm assuming the work being done, on the funnels, is by workers of that ship yard? 🤷♀ Looking forward to more!!!!! 😃😃
Lots of exhaust for engines, bathrooms, kitchens, AC, etc. Huge extraction fans pull damp air from the bathrooms. Somewhere else is usually inlets, not usually the same area or it would pull the dirty extracted air back in.
T Higgs asked what Chris's job was. Look at the front of his hard hat. "Fire Watch" Every area on a ship in drydock where welding or cutting is taking place must have a Fire Watch from the ships crew.
IMO Number is the number assigned to a ship by the International Maritime Organization. When up on the stack, you found where the number assigned to Symphony of the Seas is painted, a position readily viewable from the air for purposes of aerial identification by maritime aviation assets like the USCG. Example, if a night time helicopter operation was needed, the aircrew could easily see this in order to positively identify the ship when other identification such as the ships name might be difficult to see because they'd have to descend to lower altitude to see the side of the hull which would be dangerous in high seas.

What you’re seeing there in the funnel is mainly two things: 1) forced air blowers that bring air down to the various engines/generators down in the engineering spaces 2) exhaust processing and scrubbing machinery to clean the diesel exhaust for environmental purposes
That view! I bet even the president of Carnival has never been where you are! Just don't get in trouble for our sake, or you might be giving us an exclusive view of the inside of a brig!! 😆
I'm interested to know what you were doing? Were you just taking video for your vlog or did you have an assignment up there? That was pretty cool! I'm glad you were able to show us around up there.
He is one of the people on fire watch (as it says on his hard hat). Fire watch literally watches for fires caused by the work. There will be someone on fire watch for a few hours after the work is complete to make sure no sparks have caused something to slowly start burning.

I have gotten such an appreciation of RC through Chris!
Wow, the funnels are much bigger than you would think. The whole funnel area is impressive.
IT IS SO COOL THAT RC IS GIVING YOU ACCESS TO THIS AREA! LOVE IT!

If I am not mistaken only Oasis and Allure have Telescopic funnels. All the sister ships in that class we not built in Finland.
WOW I find this stuff amazing, always interested in seeing the inner workings and so appreciate you sharing this and more importantly the cruise line allowing you to do so 😮
What an amazing experience. Thank you for an insider's view.
Wow man!! I have no words to express the feeling to be up there! Thank you for sharing such awesome experience

Chris, thank you, an interesting video that even most of the crew would not get to see.
This was totally cool. I love seeing the behind the scenes things and how they work. B
Wow crazy WOW! Chris, thank you! Had no idea! Have a new appreciation for those stacks! You Rock❣️😉
That was pretty awesome, so happy for you to be able to experience that! Can’t wait for the next

Thanks for posting - literally a rarely if ever seen Birds Eye view!
Super coo video thank you and the Maintenance crew for everything they do!

His helmet says 'Fire Watch'
He is a casino host - and there during dry dock, so allowed to look around. Obviously borrowed someone’s hard hat

@@HearRobynSing I know, that is what I said… right above your comment
Wow wee! What an amazing tour of the ship's funnel. Thanks for sharing 😊😊
Are they working on any passenger areas of the ship & if so what are they doing? Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, dude! Cannot wait for the full hour video you plan to post. Thanks!!

This is awesome. I have some serious funnel envy right now!
6:41 i think youre at the ships tambucho!
You better have all that finished for OCTOBER... Be hell to pay if I dont get my cruise! 😆
Wonderful!!! Thanks for share.
Good fellings from México City.
The logo is awesome. It’s a majestic view!
Looks like you are really having funnel up there. I love your enthusiasm.
Love every single video!
Great video very informative 👍

Thanks for sharing ✨️👏🏾 I see Carnival/Costa Venezia in the background! I wish it was a way to watch the transformations live, that would be awesome!
Cool, now I need to re-watch. I'm near Long Beach which is where Venezia will be sailing from in the near future. I'm really looking forward to it.
@@e2a2j oh ok I thought the West Coast was getting the Firenze and East Coast was getting the Venezia. I'm super excited for all of the newest ships!

Totally awesome thank you first time I saw inside the funnel Capt kate took us inside the asapod. Now I saw the very bottom and the very top thanks
Thank you so much I appreciate it definitely wouldn't be able to go there on my own so thank you so much we appreciate you more than you know
So cool. Looks like there are many other ships there as well
Love your vlogs from England looks better weather there than hear
Very cool, thanks.
That view! I bet even the president of Carnival has never been where you are!
Just don't get in trouble for our sake, or you might be giving us an exclusive view of the inside of a brig!! 😆
Very cool Chris.
Chris, The King of the Crown & Anchor😀
i love ur vids!
yep, thanku for your vids my man... ❤️🌅😎🛳️🎉👆🙏
That’s so interesting. How’d you make this happen? Who’d you ask to be able to record this?
I love the behind the scenes content
Love this ❤❤❤
Very cool!!
Very cool always wondered what was in there
amazing video!
How cool is that!!!!
Looking forward to your video. I’m cruising with you in 23 days!
Wow, Chris, all I can say it looks a little more complicated than a slot machine!
Wow! This is so interesting!
Fire watch while hot work is going on.
The pipes are engine exhaust piping, and some of it also has scrubbers to clean the exhaust.
Complexity of the funnel is like that. Imagine the complexity of the rest of the ship.
Awesome
Go Royal Caribbean ❤🎉😊
Chris thank you
Great video, can't wait to be on board in a few weeks!
Are they lowering the funnels so it will fit until the bridge into New York like they did with Oasis?
I'm interested to know what you were doing? Were you just taking video for your vlog or did you have an assignment up there? That was pretty cool! I'm glad you were able to show us around up there.
