It's a Big Boat

I was reading on MSNBC today when I came across a heading that said world’s largest cruise ship. (I had to read it.) This cruise ship is amazing; it is 1,200 feet long and has sixteen levels. It can sleep 6,300 people including the crew and has 2,700 rooms on board. This ship belongs to the cruise company Royal Caribbean International. They spent $1.5 billion building it in Finland. This cruise ship has it all. It has volleyball courts, four swimming pools, ice skating rink, and even a small-scale golf course. The ice skating rink can accommodate 780 spectators watching whatever show might be put on. This ship has all sorts of different features. It has what they call different neighborhoods on board with different themes involved. It has parks and squares and all sorts of amazing features. In the front of the boat, the stern. There is a huge swimming pool in the daytime and at night it covers up to become a gigantic amphitheater seating 750 passengers. There is also an indoor theatre that seats even more people at 1,300 passengers. There are all kinds of cabins to choose from for any type of budget. They have loft style cabins that are 545 square feet to luxury style cabins at 1,600 square feet. On of the ships key features is that one of the areas on the boat themed after central park has a bar in it called the “Rising Tide” which moves up and down between three stories so passengers can get off at any of the three decks. This is the first moving bar. Another thing that they claim about the boat is that even though it is gigantic they had it engineered to be some what environmentally friendly. It dumps zero waists into the ocean and uses much less fuel. It actually consumes about they same amount of fuel as a cruise ship much smaller than it is.

I can’t believe these ships can get any bigger. I have not ever been on a cruise ship before, but I have seen many of them while on the beech. I can’t imagine them needing to be any larger.

After reading this article I realized this is a technological achievement. This is a grand cruise ship that I believe will certainly be a great investment for this company. I really like how they tried to make this ship as environmentally friendly as they could. That really means a lot these days and I hope that they get a few more passengers just because of that feature.

I would love to be the first one on this enormous thing. I also want to drive it! I think there is better wording for driving? Captain it maybe????
