I just looked at the deck plans for residential and commercial and it states that the "red sections" are sold. There were no red sections on the plans!!!Is this a gimmick?

"Mile-Long ship to take 40,000 around the globe". In the article the measurements mentioned are nearly a mile long, 725 feet wide and 340 feet tall. I thought it was a joke that is why I did not mention it here.Kevin
Also it was being built in Honduras?

If they made a ship long enough they could call it a 'bridge' - it would never need to sail. The stern could be at the departure point and the bow at the destination!
However, I bet if you showed Bruce Ismay a picture of 'Explorer of the Seas'he would be equally shocked!
Here are photos of the construction.

At 40,000 tons it's not a very big 'world' is it?

Richard, I'd say that it is quite clear that there's a boardroom somewhere filled with people smoking crack! These people can't possibly be serious.
To me, this vessel represents a complete environmental disaster! You think people are concerned about Royal Caribbean's environmental problems? Imagine what would happen if this monstrosity ever sees the light of day.
Did you ever think they would build a cruise liner of 150,000 gross tons years ago??
The only obvious thing that I cannot understand is why the parallel runways? Do they honestly believe there will be that much air traffic? Of course this thing will never port. Or will it. How could it ever cruise into a port?
If you want to discuss the plans, do it carefully.If you are rich enough, try calling him at:941-544-6408
Otherwise, contact him by e-mail.Hopefully, either I or somebody else will convince him to built a more practical ship at someplace like Kvaerner Masa Shipyards in Turku, Finland. His premise is good, but I need to show him some of the problems of building this thing. The size may hinder the ability to cross the world, for it can't go through the Panama or Suez Canals.
What about if the ship was...
S I N K I N G ......It would take a while for passengers to go to their staterooms, then their muster stations.
