The ship is amazing on so many levels that you just cannot write plain script for it. Trust me, I spent 3 months on Allure of the Seas, one of the sister ships of Symphony.

[@NNoradIV]

I was hoping to see a video about the design of the boat, what features it had, dealing with all the electrical, water, population management, food management, and all the other things that come with the genius required to make such a project happen. I ended with a 20 minute brochure of a boat.

[@coconutsmarties]

Agreed, there was SO much that I'd have loved to know about this monster that wasn't covered. Simon asked the writer to not make it sound like an ad.. and it felt very much like the writer basically copy pasted the entirety of Royal Caribbean's marketing material on this ship. After only discovering Megaprojects recently I've been absolutely addicted to it for the past few weeks, but this is so far below the quality of the rest of them. And it seemed like Simon was aware of that.. Still, the testicular shenanigans cracked me up.

[@DixonLu]

Wish there was more about the logistics of running this ship, e.g. how many crew, how they manage to load this much food, how do they get water on & off (drinking, shower, cleaning), etc.

[@godlugner5327]

Agreed but these guys know how to do their research, if they didn't find that info it's probably not available

[@michaelimbesi2314]

Water isn’t loaded or unloaded. It’s generated from seawater by desalinating it via reverse osmosis. They run the equipment when they are well out to sea to make sure that they don’t get any water contaminated by human activities on shore.

[@jimclements6729]

@@godlugner5327 Once on the cruise, you can book a behind-the-scenes tour where they'll show you all the parts of the ship that aren't intended for passengers. You get to see the bridge, engine control room, kitchen, crew's quarters, recycling area and more. They also go over things like how much water is used, what happens to waste, and so much more. I believe they restock at various ports along the cruise route. It was fascinating.

Simon, going on a Carnival cruise is one of the best vacations I have ever experienced. I was only 14 when my grandmother took myself and my 15yr old cousin with her on a trip we booked together to Ensenada Mexico. It is one of my fondest memories. The sight of the spiraling stairways and detail put into designing the interior of the ship is breath taking and strikes you from the moment you first board. Its not only the incredible design of the ship that will leave you in awe, but the adventures you can partake in when you dock at port. If you ever have the opportunity, you should absolutly go! I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing adventure and out of the ordinary experience.

[@raac212]

Simon was having a time making this. So many laughs and smiles lol

[@Emily_M81]

I've been on the Allure of the Seas. It was gargantuan. Elevators like in a skyscraper, f'ing trees, the "food court deck" was bigger than the food court at a shopping mall lol. What bugged me the most was seeing the smoke become "yellowish" which I assume meant "WOO we're out of murrican waters and can burn the cheap extra-polluting bunker oil!" It was an experience, but probably not one I would repeat >_>

[@thefrankenator]

I used to work on Oasis of the seas, the same ship as symphony. Its actually an incredible place to live

[@HumanAction76]

I wasn't sure about cruising until I took my first. Now it is my favorite vacation option. There are plenty of old people, but the number of guests are so high that you get a real mix of age ranges. A lot of families. Food and service is amazing, and now they have so many live shows and amenities, you can't do it all on a single cruise.

[@Petteri82]

You might have mentioned that the Oasis class was originally commissioned out of Turku, Finland. The later ships are slighty bigger for sure but they are basically the mass produced versions of the original that needed the crazy engineering.

[@wudubora]

My wife and i sailed on Symphony of the Seas for a week just before COVID-19 hit. We had a balcony cabin and I loved it. Great food, shows, activities, casino, and ports of call. I can't wait to go again. It's like a hotel room that moves from city to city.

So I haven't been on this ship but I have been on the similarly sized Oasis and it IS absolutely mind boggling how enormous the thing is. I was literally stunned when I saw that it had a decent sized park in the middle of it (flanked of course with restaurants and cafes) which was a nice place to get away from the bustle in the evenings.

[@Tim_Krause]

This is the most reluctant Cruise commercial I've ever seen! I love it

[@24934637]

To answer your question: YES, cruise ships do generally have a brig. Normally a sparsely furnished room close to the security office, that can be locked securely from the outside. This is usually used for crew or passengers who can't safely be contained in their own cabin, and under normal circumstances the person concerned would be removed from the ship and handed over to authorities next time the ship docks. No idea if they have a 'First Class' brig similar to a 5* hotel room, and a 3rd class similar to the 'Hanoi Hilton'.

[@BIGJATPSU]

Simon so has talked himself into going on a cruise on this ship by the end of the video. 😂😂

[@Icarus1234]

I am not advertising cruising here. I went on 2 cruises, 1 was alaskan and another was caribbean. The experience as a whole was meh but there was one highlight on both. Going out to the balcony of my stateroom once the sun was gone and just staring out. Staring at pitch blackness of the the nightly ocean and the stars in the sky. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I just cannot get it out of my head. The wind blowing past made the whole experience ever more memorable. If I ever go on a cruise again, night time is the only thing I know I will look forward too.

I thought this might be more about the technology and engineering behind building such a large ship rather than poking fun at cruising. I didn’t even make it as far as the part about why you’d need special clippers. When I was a teenager we went on a cruise around the med. we got to see lots of different places over two weeks while staying at the same ‘hotel’ sailing from port to port. There are a wide variety of cruises to choose from and many are aimed at young people, families, etc. For some places they are the most practical way to go on a trip - the Antarctic, Alaska, etc. Anyway, I’ve had my Wahl clippers for many years and I really like them.

“On your economy room with no windows.” Someone forgot to tell him that the inner staterooms look over the inside mall and there are no rooms without windows with exception of the crew.

[@NielsPolin]

Not true. There are quite a few guest staterooms who have no windows. The promenade staterooms are on deck 6 and above. So any stateroom located lower on the inside has no window. They do have in some occasions a "virtual balcony" which is a floor to ceiling monitor dressed up as a window with a live feed from the outside view.

There are rooms without windows on oasis class ships. Every royal carribean ship class has staterooms without windows.

[@mustafaemad3614]

For those whom had seen me commenting here a lot, yes I had not been successful. But I'll add another mega project suggestion to the list Benban Solar Park, Aswan High Dam, Bar Lev Line and Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

I've been on two cruises, one on Celebrity where I was among the youngest at 30 years old. Most people were in their 60s and above Then I went on a Norwegian Cruise Line cruise and was far more average age (33 at the time two years ago) Ages of peeps on board depends on the cruise line. Personally find them to be brilliant and can't wait until my next

"Do they have prisons on cruise ships?" In fact they do. They have a brig where people who get unruly are put. How do I know? I worked on a cruise ferry a few years back.

I’ve heard they have 2 cells in the bowels of the ship. In the bowels.

I went on a cruise for my honeymoon, we were 30 years old... And loved it! There weren't TOOOOO many old people. I reckon the average age was late 40s but there were plenty of younger people too.

I've been on that class of ship I'm a stockholder and I would never go back on it again. Waaaasy to many people, I now call it the Walmart of the Seas.

MrFester: Good one! 😆👍

[@scrantsj]

Yeah, I'm not totally enthusiastic about the larger ships either.

This video in itself is an amazing peice of art. The way Simon calls out to Royal Caribbean and then at the end of the video, sly as a fox, drops that he also covers cruise related news. Is this how ALLEGEDLY legal blackmail works?

[@jtkoehleriv]

Suez seems like a timely mega project video

[@rickgubala830]

it's been done as a Geographics video, though, about a year ago.

[@jtkoehleriv]

@@rickgubala830 I thought I searched but it is daunting to search every channel Simon has lol. Thanks for the info!

[@rickgubala830]

@@jtkoehleriv definitely, Simon is a busy boy. Sometimes you get lucky though, for me, it was actually right by your comment on the list of related videos on the right side of the web page, oddly enough. Hopefully knowing that it's Geographics might help you find it. It's a good one.

"transatlantic" ships are NOT equal to "cruise" ships. While transport ships are designed to bear storms, cruise ships have to surround them (although they can take the blow, but it will not be nice)

[@tazytka]

You would never catch me on one of those floating monstrosities !

[@yewtoob2007]

FUTURE MEGAPROJECTS IDEA: This is my first recommendation by I love your channel: Operation Highjump. Thanks, Simon!
