J4MES OX4D 9,982 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Worlds first billion dollar cruise liner lands in Southampton which holds 6,000 passengers and 2,000 staff and is 4 football pitches long - 300ft more than the Titanic. Very impressive but I wouldn't want to be on there when a norovirus breaks out and everyone has the shits as happens on practically every cruise liner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on fucking water! :/ So the answer is water displacement. The lenght + height of the containing air (which is the buoyancy) has to have a greater force than the force of gravity on the boat. So as long as it long, wide and high enough it will float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddums 4,338 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I dunno. Kyla's always banging on about going on one of these things. I just don't see the point. It's an artificial habitat which floats on something that will kill you if you fall in to it, which is infested with things which will kill you if you fall in their territory, so you can see the same people day in and day out, shit in a shit toilet, and see the crap every day for days, if not weeks on end. Thanks, fly me to the bahamas instead and let me have my own holiday. I'm going on a cruise soon btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sennex 1,903 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Over the last several decades I have been on a shit ton of cruises. I absolutely hate them. I'd rather just fly/ drive to my destination, and then be there. Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

The3rdWalker 1,268 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I've been on one and I enjoyed it as an alternative to flying to a destination. But it's just like being at home so they aren't my first choice. I ate myself into a coma. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wade fishing some rivers at night and had deer come crashing down a hill and into the water to cross the stream about 50ft behind me. I just about walked on water the time that happened lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels more like being in a massive hotel. I've always enjoyed them because the staff takes real good care of you. You don't even have to pickup your luggage at the airport. It gets transferred for you to your state room. It's a great way to travel for "dad". Don't have to worry about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno 3,497 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 so you see the same people day in and day out, shit in a shit toilet, and see the crap every day for days, if not weeks on end. . Like owning a static caravan or holiday home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
