The New Behemoth Cruise Ship, Icon of The Seas

[RadishRose]

When the $2 billion ship sailed into the Port of Miami with music blasting on January 10, after crossing the Atlantic from the shipyard in Turku, Finland, where it was built, it was greeted with a cacophony of fireboat salutes and a banner flag flyover. The commotion brought traffic to a halt along the causeway to Miami Beach that parallels the cruise ship channel.

Crikey! That would be my worst holiday nightmare! Scarborough afloat!

No thank you.

So let me get this straight. Being on a boat gets boring so why not put an amusement park, Las Vegas, and a ton of food on it to make it interesting. Oh and add to that the population of a small city as a "captive" audience. Does anyone today look up long enough from their phones to even notice?

 

[Llynn]

No thank you.

It looks like a gigantic collection of Tupperware.

My first impression was the latest $200,000 Lego set.

Engineering? Amazing.

But damn, what is the point? I mean could you imagine being on that? Urgh.

 

[Gardenlover]

Looks top heavy.

But it would be fun to pilot, drive or navigate.

 

[Aunt Mavis]

We all agree (I think) that our planet isn’t what it once was. Please say no to these beasts and even smaller versions.

 

[birdy]

Too much boat

 

[dobielvr]

Way too many people for me..

 

[PeppermintPatty]

It looks like a gigantic collection of Tupperware.

Noisy, obnoxious Tupperware

[Paco Dennis]
