With capacity for 6680 passengers and 2200 crew you're basically going on holiday with the population of Storrington, or for you poor souls living in lesser Sussex, you're off on holiday with the inhabitants of Polgate.

A ghetto on waves. Its a no from me.

 

[Jack Straw]

Or everyone who attended the first match at Withdean. That would be great fun! (Perhaps not for the Mansfield fans.)

Dysentery of the Seas

This is one case where leaving after 85 minutes is totally justified.

engineering brilliance

but a monstrosity to look at

What a Titanic Project, no doubt it will be unsinkable...

Looks like the building is still on going, given all that scaffolding!

Well there are no where near enough lifeboats on those photos

Those in steerage will stand no chance.

I think you will find that steerage has now been re-branded 'Platinum Interior Stateroom'

Im sure its lovely to be on, but its fecking hideous to look at.

Of course there are. Wouldn't be able to sail (with capacity) if it didn't.

Passengers: 6,680
Lifeboat capacity (each): 370
Lifeboats: 18

Of course, it's all about ticking boxes.

Wouldn't want to be one of 370. Or indeed, number 371 in a queue. Or staff.

The lifeboats will be for people with ginger hair only , quite right too .

A quick calculation shows that the lifeboat capacity is 6,660 so who are the 20 that get left behind?

Other way round for me.

Looks wonderful, fantastic piece of engineering and construction.

I'd hate to be on it though - can't think of anything worse for a holiday.

They're in inflatables, like staff.

Apparently there are enough inflatable life rafts for everyone - which is handy as the yellow lifeboats can't be deployed if the ship is listing severely.

All very reassuring, I'm sure you'll agree...
