It’s just Lego. They have very short lifespan.

[@tyleredwards5643]

@@effkay3691 well, they’re easy to disassemble and scrap since they’re like Legos. But why do you say they have short lifespan?

[@effkay3691]

@@tyleredwards5643 they are not built with traditional cruise line quality. The finishes are plastic and brass. There is nothing bespoke about them. The have the luxury of a generic 4 star hotel. They won’t be on the water in 70 years like the Astoria.

[@tyleredwards5643]

@@effkay3691 but they do have the advantages of modern day ship building, to include 3D printers that can create things far more exact than humans, and consistently. Plastic is incredibly resilient to salt water corrosion, so it makes sense it’s finished in it. It improves the quality, not diminish it by requiring less maintenance and protecting the hull from corrosion. I think you’re absolutely wrong. I think these ships are extremely safe, and have a record to prove it. They’re mostly built in Germany and Japan, with centuries of shipbuilding experience. It wouldn’t make sense at all to cut corners on the ships durability and safety when I single catastrophe can end the entire industry. That’s why you haven’t seen a single modern cruise liner go down when there’s more than ever on the sea. The only times you hear about issues with them is due to crew negligence or poor maintenance. Not full on sinking.

When you contract out different companies to work on different parts it cuts down on the build time. Kind of amazing that a company cranked out a thousand state rooms and transported them to the ship yard.

[@michaelhanson5773]

They mire than likely already have been hiring the crews for the ship... For example the captain of our that we just went on said basically they are hiring way in advance for a lot of positions.

[@w0mblemania]

It only took 11 months to assemble because they spent 3+ years before that on design, buyiing steel, developing processes and tools, contracting all the parts etc. Think of it as a 5 year project where all the lego gets put together at the end.

It’s called modular construction. One of the first ships constructed modularly was the SS Edmund Fitzgerald which sank in a storm on Lake Superior, 10November1975 with the loss of 29 lives. Sections of the ship were built simultaneously off-hull, then moved to and mated with the keel when complete. It set construction records for Great Lakes vessels.

[@naturetruth5218]

That's why currently only in Europe like Meyer Werft in Germany or Chantiers de l'Atlantique in France can built super cruise ships. Even Japan Mitsubishi failed and gave up after trying once. It required decades of accumulated vast experience and many dedicated highly skilled workers to able build such monster in just 11mths. Fitting the luxury interior and wiring for a hotel like this is already incredible. China shipbuilder will start building its first super cruise ship order. That will be an acid test of its shipbuilding capability after their incredible quick success in aircraft carriers and world's most advanced Type055 warships building. US Navy defense secretary claimed China has advantage over US because it uses slave labour to build its advanced warships. Wonderful, by that logic normal Chinese workers will be building their space crafts and J20 stealth fighters, while skilled workers building Moon & Mars base stations now.

@@us3r2u4gefff yeah “no safety flaws” is just what they think until an accident happens. How do you think safety rules/changes get implemented in the first place?

They are obviously safer than old ones, but there is literally nothing without some kind of safety flawZ
