Thread: Legend of the seas

I watched videos on youtube and I found an interesting ship.

Royal Caribbean new ship largest cruise ship in the world due 2015 - YouTube

It is artist impression of Legend of the seas. it will be built on 2015 and it is larger than Oasis and allure.
Its design is not the best, I think.
Interesting, what is the tower in middle? It look as TV tower lol.
The Legend of the seas is 412 meters long and tonnage 248 000. Speed is noticed at random. How get such massive sail on 44 knots?
I not believe in that ship get built ever...

What you think about the Legend of the seas?

The is already a ship by that name and it is much smaller.

I do not expect to see a ship that big attempted anytime soon, if ever.




.

These are the facts for the Legend of the Seas taken from Royal Caribbeans own webiste:

Gross Tonnage	70,000
Length	867 ft
Max Beam	105 ft
Draft	24.5 ft
Cruising Speed	22 knots

She is a Vision class ship. I sailed her many years ago when she was one of the largest vessels in the Royal Caribbean fleet.

Allure of the seas remain the biggest cruise ship for long time. I not believe in bigger ships. Maybe, so big ship get to real in next 50-100 years. The World not need bigger ships. (My think)

While there is much about Oasis and Allure that I like I agree their size can be a drawback.

A fantasy from the legend of the seas mega ship idea.
