How would I be able to contact you directly Adam? I have some Navy memorabilia I collected when I served to share with you.

Modular guest rooms was also a feature of Walt Disney World's Contemporary Resort construction in 1969 in Orlando FL

[@paulwujek5208]

It would be interesting if Adam could visit the Hyundai Shipyard in Korea, which is the biggest shipyard in the world. There he could contrast the way that ships are built because at Hyundai they have a factory that builds ship sections, which are the size of a four-story building and an inventory of these sections stored in the yard that are transported to the dry-dock to build ships. Typically it takes about 3 months for them to build a ship.

[@77nizzova53]

Maybe have a part 2 where we see the ENGINES!!!!!

[@socialmediumspace]

We are super excited to be going on the cruise with Adam and hope we get to tour the ship.

[@eranschau]

I never cease to be excited by how excited Adam gets at learning something new. I wish everyone had that kind of passion for learning.

[@kjhaglfjhgfasd]

This is exactly why whenever I’ve been on cruises I asked permission to get a tour of the working areas. The engines (as a gear head) as INSANE. A piston the size of a mini cooper is wild. And powering everything flawlessly is a feat of pure engineering heaven.

[@loganyoung2408]

Do they actually give you one? I’d have assumed they would think of it as a liability

[@MrRedstoner]

@@loganyoung2408 Not OP but I imagine the engineers are quite proud of their baby, so they'll try to find a way

[@cameronivie5757]

@@loganyoung2408 Not always, it honestly depends on your luck for the day. I have taken some multi day cruises and made some acquaintances with maintenance people. I also tend to talk about engineering type stuff with them to prove I am not a threat. It has worked twice now. lol

[@MichaelThe-Pyro]

is it weird that i would prefer working in engineering of a cruse ship more than an actual cruse?

[@JediSentinal]

​@@MichaelThe-Pyronah, same here!

[@spacepiratecaptainrush1237]

you know, I'd probably have more fun on a mostly built cruise ship then in one that's completely finished. all that beautiful engineering is going to be covered up.

[@willowmoon7]

Honestly same, I spent pretty much all my on-ship time last summer reading

[@NeonDripKitty]

having sections of clear wall around the place would be nice, that way it looks finished but you still get to see bits of the engineering, would also make inspections easier for those parts

[@MikeHarris1984]

I would be interested in cruise ships if they offered a behind the scenes tour of the ship while out and show all of the engineering and how the system work and the efforts behind it. So much in a city that floats on the ocean

[@TheStevedie]

@@MikeHarris1984 Most cruise lines do.

[@CallMeByMyMatingName]

I think most people would have fun getting to see both like you're proposing. It would be cool to do both! But I'd prefer to tour an unfinished ship than a finished one in myself.

[@Shortfilmsyou]

Adam… is a renaissance man. I love his passion and interest, in design, mechanics, and engineering, science, pop culture. I’m slow thinking and forgetful at the best of times but I like how “on” he is, engaged. The lights are always on in his exploration and interest. I think if I was an angel I would never be bored shadowing him around. Watching him and people passionate and interested in how things work and were assembled. I wish I had half as much of the life experience. It’s too bad you can’t just show up, tour and see behind the scenes of whatever you want like he does. An all access pass would be nice.

[@ZippoVarga]

48 minute engine video WITHOUT AN ENGINE IN SIGHT (except on the modular cabin segment where we see a tug moving the modules that's engine powered.)

[@Joe___R]

Every time I watch one of these cruise ship making videos, it takes me back to when I worked for a ship building and repair company in Tampa, FL. We didn't build any cruise ships, but we did build some incredible working ships.

[@qstileq]

20 years ago we took a 7 day cruise on Princess Cruise ship. It was AMAZING!!! I still remember most of that cruise. I would do it again in a heart beat.

[@capicolaspicy]

Breathlessly blown away...this was amazing to this old sailor!

[@repeat_defender]

I would love a show consisting of Adam touring around different mega engineering projects. His awe and joy are wonderful, plus he asks intelligent questions of the engineers.

[@nosidamXlynax]

8:37 when he tells them that he has a ruler tattooed onto his arm, the sheer joy and pleasure and entertainment they get from that is so hilariously wonderful lol, the pat on the back and smiling has such strong camaraderie lol. ^_^

[@FireAngelOfLondon]

I am an artist, and I had real fun today after finishing a large pencil drawing when I showed it to people who were blown away (yes, really). It is great to see that engineers and tradesmen like electricians and HVAC engineers can have the same kind of creative fun making things and then looking at and showing the partly finished or finished work to other people. It is a very different creative process to mine but it is certainly a creative process and I love the fact that people who do that very different work can enjoy it as much as I enjoy making art.

[@TheEarthwinders]

This whole series is so cool. Civil engineer here, totally geeking out on this. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@MarcelHuguenin]

I really love the discussions Adam has with everyone. He is so knowledgable in many areas.

[@stevem7868-y4l]

The ships Captain, seems to be an incredibly humble, but endearing man, and dealing with a crew of 50-60 nationalities with their Religions, and beliefs, is outstanding, and then there's the Punters, or Customer's in his words, i bet they will be the hardest to manage

[@PRH123]

Adam should have asked to see the brig where they lock the unruly drunks in to sober up... :)

[@tammymakesthings]

As staggering as the scale of the construction effort is, I’m boggled thinking about the scale of the ongoing logistics it takes to operate a cruise ship too. 🤯

[@Danrarbc]

Indeed. The scale of serving the main purpose of housing, transporting, feeding and entertaining thousands of people every handful of days and doing that on time is a massive undertaking all by itself - and they do this for each ship they operate. And one doesn't simply order 10,000 bananas that all come the same way either. You have to understand when the next batch is coming so that you have ripe enough food to serve on day one as well having plenty of less ripe stock so that on day 3-4 just before the next load you still have ripe food to serve. ALL of this is managed and planned out so that food service is never interrupted. That's why it was such a massive shock when Carnival had to take the step of not serving bacon on the breakfast buffet anymore. The level of supplier breakdown necessary to force that must have created a massive amount of stress for the culinary team before they finally have to make the call on something like that. And in this case Carnival would lose it daily because they're going to give Princess priority as it is their luxury product. Fueling is slightly less daunting but still an undertaking - most of these ships actually can't run super long with the tankage they have available so you'll even see bunkering of fuel in locations that we think of as destinations and not only the main embarkation ports. THAT is the thing that really gets my brain going - thinking about how to keep EVERYTHING fed when doing a 60, 90 or even 120 day cruise in various vastly different locales.

[@Zhaopow3]

I love how I still get so much content from adam

[@x144x]

I also love how much content I get from Adam

[@TSKseattle]

The heating/cooling reminds me of jet airplanes. All the heat in a jet is bled off the engines, and all the cooling is gather in ram air inlets under the lower fairing. How these two sources are divided and mixed is where all the temp requirements occur.

[@ZippoVarga]

Came to see this wondrous "Engine Room"........Still haven't seen the behemoth engines that propel this ship. Title should be "Everything Including the Bathroom Sink......Except for the Actual Engine" Come on Adam! lol Loved what you did show but come on man!

[@d.j.vanderschoot3717]

Don't know why they used that title, but an engine room during build is not very photogenic. Lots of scaffolding and the engines are probably covered with lots of plywood for protection anyway. Besides, even in service you can never see the engine in its entirity, from the tween deck platform you can look on the cylinder head and see the blowers (turbos ) and from the tanktop platform (engine room floor) the crank case and pumps feeding oil, fuel and water and other gubbins. But never the whole thing in one shot.

[@devastaterx]

Adam is so prefect in this type of environment. I'd love to see him go on an engineering tour of all the fascinating builds in this world.

[@ColdSmokeGFX]

Grant would be so proud to see this kind of engineering content being put out. Great stuff

[@drewcipher896]

I would never take a cruise, but Id love to take a tour of one. Really cool engineering to get a city to float and not make people sick.

[@markallison4794]

I know where you're coming from. I absolute terms these things are a blight and an abomination (IMO). But that doesn't stop me from being irresistibly fascinated by their engineering and construction.

[@ehzmia]

There is the Queen Mary if you don't mind a bit of history with your tour.

[@PRH123]

​@@markallison4794Well said. As interesting an achievement as it is, it would be like vacationing in a small shopping mall. With a lot of overweight drunk people :)

[@thomasward4505]

Adam is actually not really in the engine room that much in this video

[@spacewarpphotography1667]

14:05 Adam: "How do you get glass to hold in that much water?" Me: "Transparent aluminum!"

[@Pantherjonvideos]

Remarkable the amount of engineering that goes into these massive cruise ships! Truly mind blowing!!

[@snuugumz]

When the Queen Mary was towed to her retirement berth in Long Beach in the late 1960s, my Pop was keen to go tour it and tour it, we did! The eerie sight of that ship’s huge propeller in a type of immense indoor swimming pool belowdecks, was something i can see in my minds’ eye like it was yesterday. The entire ship was beautiful, and delightfully empty of tourists before it became the property of the Disney company. Fast forward some 30 odd years to 2010 when my husband and i decided to take to the high seas to enjoy Lewis Blacks’ Comedy Cruise onboard one of Royal Caribbeans’ gorgeous floating cities. It was 7 days and nights of the best time of our lives. ❤

[@grachtschrap]

This series has been so interesting and im learning so much more than I've ever thought! thanks Adam and crew!

[@medtechfire22]

Not sure why this didn't come up sooner but Adam in a cruise ship being built? Sign me up! I swear, Adam could make paint drying exciting and fun.

[@sharizabel2582]

Amazing how much goes into a floating city. I’d imagine that spaceships in the future will need the same kind of thing.

[@matthewspaccarelli5007]

Did I miss the part where we got to see the ships engines? Also where does the crew live?

[@tjcoll011]

Wondering the same thing ... title saus Engine Room and we see everything but the engine room. Not saying the video wasn't great but why the clickbait BS when you have the chops and the content to just be honest?

[@gbresaleking]

Ive never been on a cruiseship but have been in construction all my life and think a print of the ship blueprints would make an awesome piece to hang on the wall of my house

[@-B.H.]

The engineering and design for these ships is immensely fascinating. This new bridge has some total scifi ship vibes.

[@MrPeachUK]

I am absolutely loving this series of videos and can't wait to see it all finished (please don't leave us hanging on seeing those finished spaces! haha). Seeing everyone Adam talks to (And Adam himself) absolutely beaming from ear to ear most of the time they spend talking about the ship and their experiences with helping to put it together, the systems, the design, everything is a pleasure to watch. There's a real passion there from everyone involved and it's infectious.

[@Charok1]

A full tour of the entire finished ship without the passengers would be the best kind of ship video.

[@scottstewart3884]

Adam, I hope you realize that once the ship is completed, you'll have to redo all the footage in the now completed spaces, so that we can see a before and after.

[@Rubmaster]

[@clifflewis-yq3lw]

Fascinating! Thats an amazing inside look at vast construction. ( This beauty makes the RMS Titanic, seem like a dinghy!

The volume of natural gas in its liquid state is about 600 times smaller than its volume in its gaseous state in a natural gas pipeline.

[@waynegriswold8953]

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state (liquefied), to about -260° Fahrenheit, for shipping and storage.

[@adriannelson4214]

As curious, enthusiastic, and appreciative as Adam is about this whole project and industry, it warms my heart so much that he gets to be shown around and be part of it. He deserves it ❤

[@kb9liq]

You talking about food and being in a bad place to be doing it reminded me when I first became a pipefitter my first job was at a nuclear power plant. I took my breaks and ate lunch only a few feet away from where the core of the reactor was. Not a place you would even want to stand for even a min now. Did get back in there once while the plant was coming back up after a refuel because I worked security and they had to secure a door while RP did a survey. Only time I was there and in a short time you got a reading you could see on your dosimeter

[@Dysan72]

At the beginning Adam is so Amazed at how big the LNG tanks are. Where as I am looking at them and going "That's It?" For as efficient as the cruise ship is supposed to be. Those tanks really don't seem that large for powering everything. I wonder what range they actually have on them.

[@d.j.vanderschoot3717]

LNG will probably be the primary fuel source, then taken to diesels to make the electric power to drive the hotel load and propulsion (on a vessel like this about 50-50 load spread). Big ships like that would do a week's rotation or possibly two. But I would not be surprised if the range of maximum time on LNG is only one week. For larger cruises there surely will be marine diesel tanks as well that can augnent the endurance should that be necessary.

[@Kliest3]

Just thinking of him saying the whole ship was 3d modelled makes my head explode thinking of just how big the file size must be. That'd be a dream job for me working on one Massive puzzle.

[@d.j.vanderschoot3717]

Not just that, every volumein that model represents a piece ov steel, a pipe, a piece of equipment for which there are properties logged (weight, strength, fluid systems they belong to, etc). On board they then attach maintenance schedules, spare parts remaining in storage, links to logistics software etc. I used to think we would never get rid of paper and hardcopies for all this, but actually we can.

[@heuhen]

About the LNG, I don't know when they filmed this, but we already have that on some ships in Norway and there are more being build/modified for it. Had it for quite a while. So I would be careful with calling something: "the first". Although it's a first of that size

[@ericdoe2318]

2:57 Hank Hill would crap himself hearing about all that LP

[@davidtomasetti8520]

he'd be sad because it's not propane but LNG (liquefied natural gas), which I think is his enemy, (and no I don't know what the difference is). lol

[@ericdoe2318]

@@davidtomasetti8520 Hank would be honored to tell you that LP gas is a crude oil product made from but a combination of gases including butane propane and isobutane…. So the LP gas is propane with other gases or it can be the same

[@TrabberShir]

At least partly CGI. I am tempted to guess that it is a composite where only the ship and possibly it's shadow is CGI, but all the telltale signs I know to look for have been made ambiguous by KZbin's data compression. I say "possibly it's shadow" because the shadow is distorted enough it could belong to quite a few different modern cruise ships to my eye.

[@calpal9983]

AWESOME episode!

problem with these complex infrastructure features is maintaining them, and vendor support, after a few years, like the LED walls that may work for a time, but when they inevitably fail, they end up as dead weight on the ship not being used

[@Dysan72]

I really really really hope that Adam gets invited, and can attend the passenger shakedown cruise. After the main systems are tested and it is good as a ship They will run a cruise, ususally with friends and family of employees, with standar cruise activities and ports of call. BUT there will also be testing actvities where they will stress the passenger side of the ship. The example I remember was having all the odd cabins on the starboard side flush their toilets at one time. Just to see how the pluming handles the sudden demand. it was a cruise and vacation, with the crevat that it might not go smoothly. I would just love to see him geeking out over all the things they have to check, test, and verify.
