Funny how quickly these documentaries get out of date, the new Icon of the Seas weighs 248,663 gross tonnes, it measures 365 metres and has a capacity of 7,600 passengers and 2,350 crew across 20 decks
@@jimbarnard12345Actually it’s only 300 feet shorter than the longest ship on earth Seawise Giant. It’s also almost the same width of 230 feet on top of that 200 feet is above the waterline with 40 feet being down below. It can also carry 10,000 People in total, instead of 9,950 People eww POOR!
The narrator is John Michie. He is a Scottish TV and film actor. In paleo media, he is one of the narrators of the unfortunately horrendous "documentary" series _Monsters Resurrected._
Independence of the seas’s home port is Miami, Florida. Not Peurto Rico. It doesn’t do 7 day voyages, only 3 or 4, like its older sister, Freedom of the Seas. Also, the world record at the time was given to Freedom of the Seas, not Independence since it is the same Gross Tonnage. (At least not a Carnaval ship).
for the side wings...isn't there a delay between detecting a lean to one side and turning the wing make it push the other way? or is the movement extremely regular and a computer settles into a counter pattern instead of responding to tilt?
This is wild because she’s only a mid size ship now. We sail on Harmony soon and before Utopia came out, Harmony was 4th largest in the world. Now Utopia is just under Icon
Fun fact, Royal Caribbean has never sunk. Came close once in the 90s with Monarch of the Seas but the Captain saved his ship and noone was lost. Great cruise line!
if all the crew report to muster stations and evacuate wouldn't that cause chaos with no one to manage the passengers? or are crew pregrouped into evacuate with everyone else and "you're useful to the ship....stay on and keep doing stuff" 🙂i guess traditionally the captain would be in that category 😀
Crew must report so the bridge can keep track of whos missing etc. every crew member has duties in case of emergency.. Service or sales staff is usually showing the way or lead groups of passengers to the life boats.. passengers also have dedicated muster station, usually directly bellow or above part of the vessel where their cabin is located..
The graphics are outstanding
The essence of technology and science and technology. This deserves to be a wonder of humanity
It's great to see CRUSE linners leaving oncoming the ports around the world great tech kl dundee uk.

It’s seems that this current ship is the main ship still used as a cruise liner, but maybe just bigger versions of the same design?
This channel deserves some kind of award
The narrators voice is top. He could narrative me sneezing and make it epic.
Dude sounds like Ewan McGregor

Aileron not flap. Also it wasn't the Waheen. It was the Wa-Heen-Ay.... FFS I wish commentors would learn to pronounce things before stuffing it up
Your graphics are amazing.
Kindly upload the icebreaking oil tanker too

The 15-deck ship was built in the Aker Finnyards Turku Shipyard, Finland
PERKELE! Greetings from Australia 🦘
Realy I like this biggest cruise ships

Overly exaggerated presentation, excessive animations and distracting noises, and straying from the main points with irrelevant content.
we poors of developing countries can just dream or may be that would be also a dream
Keep dreaming, work hard and you will get to see one of these marvels one day
It is possible you will be able to experience this. It can be visited in Miami from $300 per person. Is that about 1 month of wages for you?
You could be on the ship 24/7 for 6 months. Just work there, as a maid, hotel staff, cook.
