It’s just ridiculous! The purpose of a cruise is to get away from the trials and tribulations of land living. It’s supposed to be a very calm and enjoyable time. This is a circus!
@@BiffJackson-o4i Already clear. It must be a huge pleasure to be pushed through a coastal town by thousands of fellow travelers and constantly checking the clock so that you can get back to the ship in time for departure. I can imagine disembarkation and embarkation taking longer than the excursion. Well, whoever likes it, let him. I do not like it.
@@Bryan-uc6iv I don't imagine a football match to be anything other than a football match. When I think of a sea trip, I imagine a trip on the sea, not a visit to the shopping center/climbing paradise/sports field ..... with 4999 other people......I've sailed often enough on 15-30 meter boats where you can still feel and see that you're on the sea. Even on a smaller cruise ship, my “sea experience” was still intact.
Can one imagine going onboard to chill-out and finding yourself in a crowd everywhere you go? Russian floating brezhnevska housing. And wierdos in lunch rooms.
I would never go on one of these floating monstrosities. I dread the thought of paying big bucks to be on an island with thousands of people I don't know or like and not being able to escape.
I worked on a Cruise ship for 14 yrs and I know how it feels. Some of the narration is exaggerated but working onboard is really an experience that you can be proud of. I really miss it but there is a limit to work onboard and all I can say is Love and Enjoy the Experience.
Sailed on Wonder of the Seas in June 2023 on a 7-night cruise. My wife and I stayed in an Oceanview Balcony cabin near the middle of the ship on the starboard side. Our fare was about $1800 each; we also paid around $240 for the Wi-Fi package for both of us. We only ate in the complimentary restaurants. We did excursions at 2 of the 4 ports we went to for around $200 total. The gratuity charge for the cabin was about $230. I purchased, on average, 3 alcoholic beverages per day (all cocktails); costing $45-50/day (wife doesn’t drink). We purchased coffee at Starbucks 3-4 times and each did an acupuncture session….that was fricken expensive. The grand total was about $5500. That does not include the drive down to Port Canaveral from near DC and back (rented a Suburban, as there were 6 of us) and hotel room the night prior to the cruise.
See the supposed little stuff adds up. Timing is also important. We did a Transatlantic Eastbound on a Solstice class ship this spring. It was not even half full. We kept on getting upgrades all over the place. We wound up in a Sunset Verahdah at the rear of the ship which is the best cabin you can get and the total cost for 13 nights was less than half of what you paid for one week on the Wonder. The solstice class ship was plenty big enough.. While we were in port in Barcelona (a great place) we saw the Symphony. It had just set a record for the largest passenger transatlantic crossing. 5500 people or thereabouts not including the crew. We were on the Wonder the year before Eastbound transatlantic and I could not imagine that ship full up. So I realized thats what everyone was opting for. A crossing on a Oasis class ship. But they paid through the nose as you did. I cant fault them in the sense taking the Wonder Transatlantic (First Eastbound Transatlantic) was a dream but ours last year was about 1/2 full. I think this was lingering fear of Covid. So you have to look for the bargains and then make your choice.
Thank you for that detail. Most people seem to be reluctant to divulge what they spend. I went on the NCL Getaway for an 8 day out of NYC in the spring 2023, and my cabin (Club Balcony) deck 14 was about $3200 (was solo, so the whole thing on me). Then I got the Spa pass ($358) and their private deck access called Vibe for another $259, plus medical insurance at $199. I ate only in the main restaurants and it was wonderful. I figure the whole thing with souvenirs cost me about $4500 , even close to $5K all told. Now you can certainly get an inside cabin and do it for less, but there's nothing like waking up to your own private balcony on the Atlantic Ocean.
@@Gardis72 I agree. Rolling solo is my preference after having roommates who I should never have shared a hotel or cruise cabin with in the first place. I am willing to pay for the cruise if I want to go and enjoy my peace and space. Going on Celebrity in October and it's almost 3000 just for the cruise with everything included then add on a flight and hotel. I am traveling 2 days prior to the cruise because I have to go from the east to west coast so I'm avoiding anything that could happen with delayed flights or weather. Glad that you got a chance to cruise and had your own private balcony on the Atlantic Ocean. I am looking forward to having my own veranda on the Pacific Ocean.
Cruised the Med. In Sept.22 Azamara....lovely..lovely small ship! Incredible service...they remember what you drink....wich wine you like...they greet you by your name! Amazing!!! Excellent food even in the buffet!Great long stays in ports....cost: seaview ...$ 5.800 for both of us ...all included even transfers !!Flights $2500 both of us...Only payed for excursions extra! Amazing cruise! ( prices are almost double next year!!😢) Never cruising on a big monster like that !!
I think you should really double check your information before you post. At one point, you said the icon of the seas has a height of 1,198 feet. There’s no way that it’s that tall. I’m guessing you meant the length was 1,198 feet, but there was a little arrow on the graphic, showing up and down next to the ship, when you said height. Also, you said cruise tickets cost anywhere from $25,000-$1 million. On what planet? I’ve taken some fantastic cruises and none of them has cost me over five grand (one came close and that was a 12 day cruise). And I think the average price of a cruise somewhere around $3000-$3500 with an all inclusive package
@@pamelapanzenbeck6035 He said cruise tickets in general, I mean, yes, some cruises have high prices, but I have cruised 13 times, none of which more than 10k.
A few years ago I did cruise on one of these big cruise ships the oasis of the seas. We felt like cattle the whole time the boat was overcrowded at every venue especially embarkation. Going forward we decided never to cruise on a ship that has more than 3000 passengers.
I loved every bit of it! More importantly it was never super crowded unless there was an event going on. The beautiful thing about cruising is with the different classes you can choose as small a ship as you want. Everyone wins!
I went on one of those with my kids. The fare was about $2000 and we spent about the same on the extras like shore excursions and beverages. Expensive to be sure, but not anything like what this is saying. I don't know where this video got the idea that $25,000 was the low number.
@@joeignatius7198 I went on a Norwegian cruise a few years ago and befriended a family who sprung for the most expensive "villa" (1 of 2 on the ship) and they gave us a tour. Very nice very exclusive....everything is catered and you have a butler....27K.
No offense intended, but as soon as you mentioned “Sub Contractors” are involved in building this, I immediately knew it was a floating piece of crap with around the clock repair work and maintenance constantly being done absolutely ruining the customers vacations. I guarantee it.
I've been on 3 cruises. 2 large ships, 1 medium size. I really don't have a desire to cruise again, but if I did, I would like something smaller and more intimate. I don't need to be on a floating city just because it has "so much to do".
Well, its not 1 crew every 2 people, as some crew members are not assigned to clean rooms and stuff like that, there are tons of different roles, not even including the 10-25 bridge crew
I did love Royal Carribean's Soverign class Sovereign of the Seas, Monarch of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas. I cruised on each one and they were amazing. At the time that Sovereign of the Seas came into service, she was the largest ship in the world.I cruised on her twice. I do love the smaller ships too HOWEVER I won't frown on Mariner of the Seas or Symphony of the Seas. They are large yet amazing ships that I enjoyed cruising on.
Well, over a hundred planes crashed, lots of trains derailed, and millions of car crashes, Cruises, are very safe, and if a cruise ship does sink, the fatalities are usually very low.
@@DumbRockMS I know) I was more kidding than being serious. It’s just I knew Costa Concordia sank, Admiral Nakhimov in the USSR, Estonia.. but I did not know there were 22 disasters with cruise ships. Actually Estonia does not even count as I think it was rather a ferry than a cruise ship
My family prefers smaller ships with less people at a lower cost. I cruise to get away from city life. This is almost like a city on water. Not our preference. Thank you for all this information on the big boats. A lot of information here. Appreciate all this.
What a nightmare! It is like living a the most populated space on the planet, you cannot get away from the crowed, then again we all have our likes and dislikes.
I wouldn't cruise on any ship this large, not even for free. I go on vacation to get away from lots of people not to be around 9000 people. I would much rather be on the smallest cruise ship with the fewest people. Embarkation & debarkation day must be a nightmare for them. I feel so bad for the crew having to deal with this many people. I hope the cruise line is paying them well for having to deal with that madness.
@@wendyshoowaiching4161 If you notice a lot of crew members are from very poor countries and they work for much less money than say Europeans or people from the U.S. the people who do the most work, cabin stewards and kitchen workers get paid the least amount of money somewhere around $400 per week. Mind you, they work 12 to 16 hours a day most days and they work 7 days a week. A day off for them is a 4 or 6 hour day.
Amazing machines. From an experience standpoint I'll probably pass unless some great deal comes my way. Sailed on Oasis of the seas, the technically smaller but also ridiculously huge younger sibling and found it to be too many people. Overall the ships are big enough to accommodate all the people, you can certainly find free space at any time, but all too often the places you want to be at the times you want to be there are overflowing with people who had the same idea. This isn't completely untrue for cruising in general but it's more extreme on these Royal Caribbean mega ships.
What's stopping you? You certainly can sail on any ship, it doesn't have to be the Icon. I don't think it would appeal to me to be with 7,000 other humans, no matter the ship size. Personally speaking
Like many, I always thought I wouldn't enjoy cruises. But went on an Alaska cruise with Royal Caribbean and completely changed my opinion. We went to the Bahamas after that and it was a blast! It's basically a floating mega resort that makes stops at various ports for additional experience. We don't drink alcohol but did buy the soda package. Most restaurants are included and AYCE. There's always something to eat. We paid for the soda package and prepaid gratuities and didn't pay anything else beyond that while we were on the ship. Of course, shore excursions are extra but your choice.
@@steveh5307that's what I do, I stick with the main restaurants which are numerous and fabulous, on shore days I stayed on the ship and enjoyed everything. But it can run huge money if y8ou book many excursions and go to specialty restaurants.
Yup, we've been to one and we did not like it. We cruise a lot but that was the first time we had to rush to go see their shows and still we couldn't find a seat. It wasn't relaxing at all. Too many people. Next time we cruise we will look for a smaller size ship.
I think being on a large cruise is like traveling in big cities; you have to know how to manage. Yes there are lines but lots of choices. I've been on Oasis of the seas and Harmony of the seas; had a lot of fun and would go again.
Cruise ships carry way too many people for most ports they visit. Getting into a port and being the only one there is bad enough but with several there at one time, you get a small city worth of people all jammed into a waterfront not meant for it. Then You get to be in the mob everywhere you visit in the area. Have experienced it twice. Never again.
Thanks for the warning………I’m funny, I go on a vacation for the opposite of the “usual”. The usual , being crowds of people. Apparently, cruise lines don’t get that. And you are incorrect……..this is not a form of “luxury”……it’s the opposite. Luxury is chartering your own ship and cruising away from crowds of people.
Sooooo much false information in this video. If you're going to take the time to make a video, at least research the topic so you can give the viewers correct information. This is pretty much just complete lies.
30 years ago there was a article in Popular Mechanics about what future cruise ships would look like. As I remember the this huge floating hotel type was included but there were some with open stern lagoons that got stuck on the drawling board.
Cruising used to be a 'deal' but it's getting expensive. A year ago a week cruise on Oasis of the Seas (the then biggest cruise ship in the world) with two exterior cabins with ocean balconies for for people was $4200This past summer the exact same cruise was over $10,000.
@@Comrade_Kamala Very, its dangerous operating such big ships in such shallow waters, one small wrong move could prematurely end that year of the ship.
I heard they are building a cruise ship so big that you board at one end and step off on the island at the other end without the ship even having to sail on the water.
Here in Virginia, it has been planned to bring a cruise ship up the York River to Williamsburg. The locals are fighting this. I cannot imagine what 3000 people getting off would do to that beautiful historic city. No thanks!

It is completely unclear to me why people want to go on a sea voyage and then reside in a shopping mall / hotel lobby / entertainment center.
Days are filled with shore excursions in exotic ports, not sitting on the ship.

To be fair not everyone leaves the ship at port. I bet it's close to 50/50.
Only around 6,000 max as usually the crew dont leave the ship

You left out the "floating petrie dish" cliche...
So ridiculous looking. Sardine can with 9,000 people bumping into you. Yea..such fun. Will take at least 2 days to evacuate ship if it sinks.
Totally agree with you 🎉
No problem--a ship that size will probably take at least 2 days to sink.
As a matter of fact, a lot of the larger ships have more square feet of space per passenger, so they actually feel less crowded than a small ship.

There's always something to eat. We paid for the soda package and prepaid gratuities and didn't pay anything else beyond that while we were on the ship. Of course, shore excursions are extra but your choice.
@@steveh5307that's what I do, I stick with the main restaurants which are numerous and fabulous, on shore days I stayed on the ship and enjoyed everything. But it can run huge money if y8ou book many excursions and go to specialty restaurants.

9.15 The morgue "quite rare...."(!) Thanks a lot!
The morgue seems like a very peaceful spot to chill without too many people.
Yup, we've been to one and we did not like it. We cruise a lot but that was the first time we had to rush to go see their shows and still we couldn't find a seat. It wasn't relaxing at all. Too many people. Next time we cruise we will look for a smaller size ship.
Amazing achievements
O QUE EU DIGO EU PROVO COM ISSO OBJECTS FOR FACTS #
Crazy. I heard "wonder of the seas" is the largest.
It is. I think the other one just has more passenger capacity (sleep cabins).
عمل مدهش جبار . شكرا جزيلا لكم .والله يحفظكم ويرعاكم ويحميكم جميعا . تحياتنا لكم من غزة فلسطين .
I think being on a large cruise is like traveling in big cities; you have to know how to manage. Yes there are lines but lots of choices. I've been on Oasis of the seas and Harmony of the seas; had a lot of fun and would go again.
How much money did it cost you and please would you adopt me? 😅
Going on Oasis for 5 nights in December with stops in Jamaica and Haiti. It’ll be my second one, first was on the much smaller and older Enchantment.
My worst nightmare.
Such cruises are great if you are a American middle-class couple who wants to "go to Europe"
Or rich
Very entertaining
I can't believe all the commenters who can't figure out that he made a mistake and meant to say 1198 ft long, not high.
I love your comments... Teach me.
Sangat luarbiasa kapal pesiar megah dan indah ok thankyou full
You couldn’t pay me enough to get on one of these monsters.
You could pay me -100 dollars to get on to one of those ships, that's me paying 100.
I did cruise on a RC ship once, and that was one of their smaller ones. Never again. I like the small cruise ships.
Fun fact: The Icon Of The Seas will be the biggest ship on earth after its naming ceremony (I think it will)
We just went on our first cruise, the Carnival Elation, a few days ago 🚢⚓ It was incredible
Wait till you try Royal Caribbean.
@@jean-paulmaurice4486 How much is it for 10 people? (my husband and I have 8 kids)
My Cruise videos just came out today 💖✨
@@jean-paulmaurice4486 imagine having supper at a restaurant on one of the cruises when the sun is going down 😍
Nice big beautiful Ship, but who wants to find him & Herself doing a downtown crowd during rush hour while on vacation??
Cruise ships carry way too many people for most ports they visit.
Getting into a port and being the only one there is bad enough but with several there at one time, you get a small city worth of people all jammed into a waterfront not meant for it. Then You get to be in the mob everywhere you visit in the area. Have experienced it twice. Never again.
I have no idea where this guy is getting his information, like the Icon is not 1,200 ft tall. It doesn’t cost 25,000- 1,000,000$
I can't imagine a cruise ship over 1,000 ft tall
Right? I mean it does NOT exist but yeah,
i'll go on one. if it's gon stay dock to land.💯
Wow very nice luxury ship..hope we will on board with my family soon to the help of our almighty God..
Waaw amazing.
Just too damn big for my taste. It’s like a whole damn town goes on vacation with you.😮
Wonder of the Seas 1,187 ft long
Icon of the Sea 1,198 ft tall.
Just great 😮
Lies
I noted that as well. Must be the talest ship for decades to come.....
@@FlyToChina0071 It's not that tall, he messed up in the video.
I know. Funny nobody noted this before up-loading it on TH-cam@@DumbRockMS
Thanks for the warning………I’m funny, I go on a vacation for the opposite of the “usual”. The usual , being crowds of people. Apparently, cruise lines don’t get that. And you are incorrect……..this is not a form of “luxury”……it’s the opposite. Luxury is chartering your own ship and cruising away from crowds of people.
Go for a cruise to get away from the big city.
Now you’re in a floating city with many people. 😂
That ship looks so fckn HIDEOUS.
I will take a trip on this ship next time 😂
its so big😳
Sooooo much false information in this video. If you're going to take the time to make a video, at least research the topic so you can give the viewers correct information. This is pretty much just complete lies.
Trapped in a tin can with 9000 strangers? sounds like the perfect holiday!
One giant wave and you're all fish food! 😂😂😂
What happens to them if they are caught by a hurricane or other violent weather?
That wont happen due to the ship's navagation systems
@@Remibiggestfan But unexpected storms can happen at sea..
Let say hurrance in Puerto Rico, then Cruise ship will not go there
@@MrLanternland
Don't cruise in hurricane season 😊
Stay stuck on board until weather calm down
Great!!!😲😲😲
The price of boat 🚢 made already in few days with that high price 💰
Yo I’m a bit early can u do top 20 biggest or most expensive cruise ships
It is not enough to go to the warplanes, but to reduce the cost of fuel, it is taken on the ship
Let me get this right, the Icon of the Sea is 1198 feet tall (per the graphic) at 2:35?
The ship is far too large. I bet it’s Benidorm on sea. We’ll stick to Cunard, a lot smaller, and a lot more class.
30 years ago there was a article in Popular Mechanics about what future cruise ships would look like. As I remember the this huge floating hotel type was included but there were some with open stern lagoons that got stuck on the drawling board.
Cruising used to be a 'deal' but it's getting expensive. A year ago a week cruise on Oasis of the Seas (the then biggest cruise ship in the world) with two exterior cabins with ocean balconies for for people was $4200This past summer the exact same cruise was over $10,000.
never
Could it survive a rogue wave
How deep is the water at the port for this behemoth to float? 😫
At the minimum depth, around 10 feet from the hull of the ship is the sea floor.
@@DumbRockMS
Sounds like it could sink easily
@@Comrade_Kamala Very, its dangerous operating such big ships in such shallow waters, one small wrong move could prematurely end that year of the ship.
So do they have lifeboats and lifejackets for 10,000 people?
Viking cruise lines are more along what I would want. Nice quiet relaxing cruise, no one under 18 so no kids running around.
NOAH : HOLD MY BEER.
Unreal!
Where the tresh go to emtied
I heard they are building a cruise ship so big that you board at one end and step off on the island at the other end without the ship even having to sail on the water.
Wow!
...And now all they have to do is put plexiglass all over the ship so no one can jump off!
Make a giant dome around the ship is my solution to that problem.
Madness. If something happens at sea.......
Did not know Seth Rogen did TH-cam videos.
Very nice information. Thanks. KHB LHR
How stable will this ship be in rough waters and in storms?
More stable than an older, smaller ship, from what I've read.
9 THOUSANDS PEOPLE!?!?!?!?
Here in Virginia, it has been planned to bring a cruise ship up the York River to Williamsburg. The locals are fighting this. I cannot imagine what 3000 people getting off would do to that beautiful historic city. No thanks!
Wherever these obnoxious ships go they ruin! Venice and Key West for examples...
