That is exactly what it is, a crew service corridor. Many of the crew will call it "The M1" or maybe "I-95" depending on what part of the world you are from.

Thanks for translating Ernie, I did not know what I - 95 was, but now I do.

The M 1 was the UK's first Motorway (Freeway) and still a main route from London to the North of England.

Does the worlds biggest cruise ship also have the worlds widest crew corridor?

Looks like a blown up Voyager class, I did NOT like the Voyager OTS. Too big !! IMHO. And with Genesis coming soon who will want to go on this monster? With over 5000+ passengers the logistics will be troubling. I would imagine that it could take up all the dock space at St. Thomas if indeed it can dock there. Tendering-- ? "Man all life boats!!!!"

I-95 is a freeway in Florida, I like to think of it as the cruise ship corridor, it connects Miami, Port Canveral, Jacksonville,,etc.

Which is why myself and many, many others continue to cruise with RCI. No comparison between RCI and Carnival in ship design. Carnival as of late has built nothing but floating cattle carriers and RCI designs with the passengers comfort in mind. Also the RCI ships don't look like floating whore houses designed by Joe Farcus.

It's interesting that people tend to complain about the largest ships at the time, so now it's 'Freedom' and 'Genesis'.

A few years ago in was 'Carnival Destiny' and 'Grand Princess', but it's OK because they have become medium sized and main-stream.

Or maybe, just maybe, we might find time for praise instead of the constant, repetitive complaints.

Given that this board is populated by people who profess to enjoy cruising, I am regularly amazed at the degree of moaning that is exhibited.

Cruise Talk - or Cruise Belly-ache ? ?

Without wishing to go all David Brent on you, can I put in a plea for contributors to "accentuate the positive."?
