I appreciate the arrow pointing to the biggest ship in the picture. I wouldn’t have been able to pick it out otherwise.

I am so amazed by the journalist which pointed out everything in less than an hour. You’re highly appreciated!

It blows my mind the amount of work and effort that goes into making just 1 person happy on a ship during the whole time. Amazing

As much as I love to watch videos like this for all the technical aspects of such an incredible piece of engineering, I also know that such a ship is impossible to operate without the thousands of behind the scenes workers whom the passengers probably never even think about. No matter how lowly their jobs might be, I give thanks to all of them for helping to let the thousands upon thousands of passengers enjoy their time aboard.

The engineering behind the build on this incredible ship is astonishing, great video!

I appreciate that this wasn't filled with unnecessary "fluff" that you get from Discovery Channel. None of the "but there's a problem" that turns out to _not_ be a problem at all, or a "can they get it done in time? The clock is running against them." Straight and to the point. 👍

I’m always astonished, how these ships actually make a profit, and how long it takes to recover the costs of building such huge vessels! That would be a good vlog of interesting detail. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great behind the scenes look at this beautiful ship. Loved the science behind it. Although, I'm not sure I totally agree agree with the statement that the crew is well paid. Especially given how hard they work with no days off, some not even allowed to go above deck, let alone off of the ship for certain amount of time. Be sure to tip if you're on a ship!

This isn't a ship, it's an island! 😮

This video was filmed in December, 2019. Back then Symphony of the Seas was the biggest cruise ship in the world. Since then it was taken over by Wonder of the Seas.

We were on the Brilliance of the Seas for a 2 week med cruise. I like to give a extra day in traveling so we spent two days in Barcelona Spain before the cruise & two days after the cruise. Spain is such a incredible place to visit & the people are fantastic. I loved going to the coffee shops in the morning and a relaxing cafe in the evening. The ship & port stops were off the charts excellent. My wife is Catholic. We were in the Vatican City for Sunday morning mass with the Pope present I'm not overly religious myself, but I could appreciate the moment for my wife and everyone else. Shalom

This is a nice ship. We enjoyed it and its slightly larger twin, the Wonder of the Seas, which is almost identical to Symphony but larger by about 5 feet. RC did a good job with the experience for the most part, and the unlimited 24-hour Pizza is clutch. The upcoming ICON of the Seas will be something to see.

Thank you for taking the time to show the technical wonder of this ship. One thing I must comment on, it will be nice if the worker's payment is actually great, perhaps officers, and captains are paid well, but not those workers at the laundry, cold prep stations, etc. If that were the case the gratuity will not be mandatory. I know is a necessary mandate as many individuals will not freely do so. If you cruise, set up a separate fund to provide additional tips for all of the Staff that serves you and helps you. This action allows them to have better pay by the end of the cruise. Happy sailing and cruising.

I was on this boat it's massive. The clubs were lit as well.

This was one of the best cruise ships ever. Loved it, even tho I’m not into cruises but this one was really amazing

Nice video. There were some weird repeating sections, but overall it was very informative and enjoyable. Well done, thanks.

My mind continues to be blown. How the hell do these amazing ships even get built, never mind the technology. Wow.

We loved our 8 night cruise on Symphony this past January.

Amazing what they put on these cruise ships. Water slides, ice rinks, multiple restaurants, swimming pools, wave pools, bars, etc.

Cruises have never been my idea of spending my vacation time......but......the ships are just stunning feats of engineering and I do love watching these videos.

Loved this ship. We boarded in Barcelona and did a Mediterranean cruise in 2018

Its an eyesore of a ship and its more like a floating shopping centre than a cruise ship.

Fantastic video, and I like how you describe the process of how some of the things work like the engines.

We live in Florida and we went on nine cruises so far, the Covid 19 made us more vigilant! Our first cruise was with Disney Wonder when our son was 5, we all enjoyed it. Then we cruised only with Royal Caribbean and Norwegian from Tampa and Port Canaveral Florida. They are both good, but RC is better, more luxurious and better service. The best cruise was with RC Christmas of 2016 when my 12 year old son played the piano for over 800 dining room people.

Remember "Costa Concordia"? Was also technologically advanced. „It's not what you don't know that kills you, it's what you know for sure that ain't true.“ - M. Twain

I found the laundry room to be very interesting, the machine even folds sheets, how cool!

Great example of populated directions and seasonal love♥️

The normal cruisers:(chilling) Symphony of the seas:Can i join?

I want to see a new Poseidon style disaster movie based on a ship like this :-)

Amazing how so much meticulous and yet complex work can be done for a mammoth ship, but similar work is not done to build or rebuild urban and rural areas where so much poverty exist.

amazing

This company is a world apart!❤

That is something I have never done and never will do. Take a cruise on a cruise ship.

just left this cruise and it was awesome

Absolutely amazing!

Loved this ship. We boarded in Barcelona and did a Mediterranean cruise in 3

Back in 1999, I worked on Carnival Paradise, Sensation and finally Destiny. The wage back then for a bar person was around $21 dollars a MONTH! Yes we got a cabin and free (awful) food. The rest of our money was made through the tip system on every drink sold. Being British, non of the mostly American guests wouldn't buy drinks from me. I did two 5 month contracts ( working 90 to 100 hours a week) with very little time off in a day. I returned a few years later as a guest.

Wow! This amazing ship looks like a destination in itself! Just make sure to keep Schettino far away from it lol

Utterly incredible and amazing ship!!

Great video. Amazing to see it from beginning to end. As we cruise we have no idea.

Cruise ships used to be about the ports of calls. Now, the ship itself is the destination. I have been on board the biggest ship (i have been cruising for 28 years). One of the design objectives they accomplish is that with some 5k plus people on board, it has to feel uncrowded. It does feel like that, and minimal vibrations. I was recently on the Meraviglia and barely felt movement. At this point, stopping at Nassau was a waste; I took a quick walk and returned to the ship to enjoy the spa. As I said, the ship itself is its own destination. One funny thing, especially at the buffet, is that people lose any sense of time and space. When food is in the periphery, people lose perception. Even tho they can clearly see a line going on, some will cut in line. The passenger thinks that a cruise vacation means all bets are off when it comes to drinking and think laws do not exist on board. On the Meraveglia, I didn't see the type of passengers you would usually see on Carnival. I did hear a drunken woman trying to start something in the dining room. In all my 28 years cruising, I only had two rough seas adventures. Like, As I said, I am at a point I like staying on the ship because it is a destination itself. Me, I spent my time in the saunas!!! Staff shortage is happening globally; I did notice this on the Meraveglia. Private Island tho, is one of the best I have seen. I hope they don't overbuild and stay almost untouched the way it is now. No, I am not a travel agent, I should be one, but I can not sell even boiling water. I wish I could like an agent I know that has a group of Plastic surgeons that once a year for training and staff. Big money. That travel agent works just on that group and he could open his own travel agency with the commission he gets from that group. I tried to sell once, but I am not good at it, i am good at taking cruise vacations, :)

It's a beautiful ship, but you couldn't give me a cruise on one of these mega ships. They are way too big, which means way too many people, long lines, and I could never see the whole ship on two cruises lol. The fewer people I see on vacation, the better. I stick with the smaller ships.

I love royal carribean this is the ship of my husband for 20yrs thank u Lord i hope hes coming back soon

This is dope. Love the concentration on the engineering.

Symphony and Harmony of the Seas now call Port Canaveral their home Port. The busiest cruise port in the world.

THERE IS NO WAY THATS ENOUGH LIFE BOATS

Just got off the Norwegian pearl Friday. It was a blues cruise and we had a blast.

Very informative video thanks.

Would love to take a cruise on this ship.

Wow it would be amazing a series settled in an apocaliptic world with this ship as protagonist

Icon of the seas will be soon the biggest cruise ship in the world!

The song is Priklucheniya Elektronika russian movie

I enjoyed a Mediterranean cruise on this ship in 2018.

Symphony Of The Seas is a barge with rooms stacked liked freight boxes. She maybe the biggest cruise but she’s no transatlantic ocean liner she’s not very fast and her hull not built strong & fast as theQueen Mary2.

i want to give praise to the guy who thought of turning down the volume for the person with a foreign language while turning up the volume for translator very smart guy some youtube channels have a lot of learning to in the art of successful production of these videos this tv quality or better thank you

So good. Loved this.

When I see ships like this, I think what potential humanity has. We are only limited by greed, laziness, and corruptness. What is also sad, is this ship will be decommissioned in a decade. So much money, sweat, and love go into it just for it to find a scrap yard. Truly sad.

I appreciate the technical aspect, but a vacation with thousands of other people all wanting to eat and visit the islands seems like no vacation at all. Long line ups to eat, get ashore, take photos, I don't think so! Count me out!

Thank you - for me i can only watch through KZfaq, travelling in this will always remain as a dream 😑😶😒

I'm SO glad you had an arrow pointing to the big ship in the preview pic, I was very confused at which one was the biggest one until I saw the arrow.

Great video, horrific place to be 😱

You need to update this! Their newest, Wonder of the seas, is now officially the largest, not Symphony

@5:50….. did he say “kway” 🤣

Thank you for such a beautiful and informative video. Very Well done.

I am curious how much did it cost to build this huge ship, and long did it take to build.

Very well done video very entertaining and informative also the narrator did a great job. Incredible feat of engineering and now I wonder if they are going to make a bigger one.

Ohh...i just had to check this liner out... So, for me and my husband and two (grown) children 7-8 days in two suites with departure from Florida in fall -25, would cost us $6000-ish. The airline ticket to arrive (and departure) in Florida is additional. Guess we have to start saving up 😋🚢

The Dishwasher guy wasn't feeling u 😂

Wonder of the Seas is now the largest cruise ship.

35:49 No way that giant piston has a displacement of 6.5 liters. I looked it up and it's 96.4 liters per piston, or 1,542.4 liters for each Wartsila 16V46D 16-cylinder engine. The ship has three of those engines, along with three slightly smaller 12V46D engines.

I love the shadow that massive ship left in your unedited thumbnail

Incredibly Amazing😢😰😰

A ship need be only a few feet longer or weigh more than any other ship in its class to be the biggest or fastest. There is a market for second hand cruise ships across the globe. These ships sell for a fraction of their original cost. In the end even the glitziest cruise ships can end up on the beach in Bangladesh and fall to the cutting torches to be scrapped.

some forty-five years ago I applied to work on a cruise line and was unable to. Even though I had tickets in Chef, Baking, and Butchery and only spoke English and French very well and some Japanese I was unable to obtain any position and I tried for two full years. But at the end of it all I did manage to cook for the late HRH Queen Elizabeth II.

Amazing! Great video!!!

Thanks for showing.

I was interested in learning about this ship. Unfortunately the audio is not synced with the video properly.

The industry are pretty much pirates themselves aren't they?

Thanks u for this video ❤

Amazing Episode On, Queen of the Seas.. 🙏🎯

To me, being on that ship with all those people would be hell on earth! Hard pass!

Great video, but, you never discussed what happens to all the black water and grey water that is generated on the ship. What treatment process does all that sewage water go through?

11:39 bruh I was hoping those guards were gonna be on there lol

Wow , I wonder what a long trip would cost

She's actually over 130 feet longer than you mentioned. You also said the size of the propellers being 50 feet in diameter but they seemed at best 30ft, my home is 40ft long interior wise and certainly can easily be perceived at about 50ft or more and for their size i'm making this comparison. Finally you said those engines are the height of a 3 story building but you look about 1/3rd its height as you walked by it. Rant over.

Old school IT guy here; those are not "anti-mice" they are "trackballs". They do offer some ergonomic advantages over mice, but for gaming, they suck.

Best video on you tube !!!!!

Things that this world doesn’t need

REALLY APPRECIATE THE ENLARGED SHIP WITH THE ARROW. IS INTERESTING THAT THE DECKS ARE 2-3 TIMES TALLER THAN THE OTHERS. WITHOUT THE ARROW I WOULD NEVER HAVE SPOTTED IT.

Icebergs start getting out of way when they see this bad boy approach them.

If this ship hits an iceberg the iceberg just pop like a snowball 😂

"Quayside" is pronounced "keyside."

I am a SCIENCE NERD!! I loved this video! Truly, if I were to book a cruise, I most ABSOLUTELY would want to ask about seeing things like the Engine Room, the Bridge, etc! Someone in the comments mentioned that these ships are "destinations" in and of themselves... and that's true! :) I probably would not even want to leave the ship at all... why risk it, that's my thought... there is SO MUCH cool stuff to do onboard, I genuinely see no REASON to leave the ship! :)

The audio is out of sync with the video.

fantastic,very informative.

I would've liked to see the hospital on board :) maybe do a part 2? Also, what an amazing ship!!! I thought Icon of the Seas was the largest, but now I'm not sure lol. I look forward to eventually going on my first cruise. ♥

I found it interesting that the cruise company allowed him to touch/handle items in the kitchen meant to be served to passengers (post or pre pandemic), without some sort of protection. They even filmed some crew handling food without wearing some sort of gloves. No wonder there have been "viral uprisings" on some ships. I'm not a germaphobe, but most restaurant in many countries have stringent guidelines about food handling. I'm surprised it's not even more stringent on board a cruise ship, since they worry greatly about "outbreaks".

the audio and video don't synchronize

The ship in the thumbnail looks like it gave birth to all the other ships around it. Insane.

Wouldn’t it be amazing to fill that entire ship with poor families and their children for a couple of days each year.
