Space is a premium on ships. How do you accommodate as many passengers as possible, while creating what feels like spacious surroundings ... and all in less than two years of construction? You build the rooms and their supporting ship structure in full scale off-site. Princess' senior director of new builds James Kent takes Adam Savage through how the Sun Princess' thousands of cabins are constructed in the most efficient and space-saving way possible.

Any plans to address the environmental impact of cruise ships in these videos?
@@Roibeirt of course not, it's sponsored by a cruise line that profits off that environmental impact
It really bums me out that you’re doing this series of video… if even Adam doesn’t have even a small bit of eco-responsability…
I’m quite disappointed in the channel as well that it chooses to sponsor such a polluting industry.
Agreed with all y'all
The logistics of stuff like this is insane.
Its impressive !
fr
Yea! I always tell people, even a simple system like a coffee maker or a step up to a car, is a very complicated system, and a lot of people don’t appreciate or maybe understand the logistics involved in engineering a system!
I love this format of Adam geeking out with someone about their passion/profession. I could watch this sort of content all day. Thank you!!
You’re not the only one ! 😄
Yes!
he really knows the questions to ask wich makes it great for me.
I bet it’s so nice for those people, to see his enjoy over their job.
This was great! It shows they both have a passion and knowledge in what they do.
Its funny I couldn't care less about taking a cruise but the engineering on this ship is so remarkable it makes it interesting. the passion these people show for their work is incredible and you can tell they love what there doing. Great interviews Adam thanks for all your and the crew at Tested's hard work.
We've taken three cruises, and I regretted not taking the behind-the-scenes tour on the first two. I insisted on signing up first thing on the third, and it was definitely a highlight of the trip.
Yeah I wouldn't step on a cruise ship if they paid me, they're floating incubators as far as I'm concerned, but the technology behind it is amazing. A lot of my friends and co-workers have made a pretty penny doing theatre tech on cruise ships, but this side of the tech is next level.
James was such a good interview. Such a natural and interesting conversation between you two.
Great voice too
James was great! And his background is super impressive!!
Makes me wish I had joined the Navy and gotten into that instead of the Air Force ... I ended up just working Security anyway, with no interesting career options when I got out. I'm so jelly! XD
So well spoken!
I bet the Museum Battleship New Jersey team, who are planning a drydocking rn, would love it if you guys reached out to them
I would love to see that.
I just want to see Adam gawk at the 16in guns.
this drydock is in monfalcone, italy, uss new jersey would have to be towed from camden, nj, over the north atlantic, through the strait of gibraltar and then across almost all of the mediterranean, would be easier and cheaper if they used a drydock in north america, im pretty sure both newark/new york and philadelphia has drydocks large enough for uss new jersey, philadelphia is just across the rive from camden where she is moored right now.
looking at google maps, there are at least 2 drydocks in southern philly that are large enough to take uss new jersey, just a 10km (6 miles) tow away from her current mooring
@@Deilwynna I think that the battleship is probably going to be dry docked in Philadelphia, just across the river from where it is in Camden.
New Jersey is going to be drydocked in the same drydock she was fitted out in when she was first built.
The bigger and deeper this channel gets with more and more subjects, the more I love it. Basically, the nature of this channel is simultaneously the biggest compliment to Adam Savage with his excellent mind and charming charisma, and the biggest endorsement of science and engineering as a subject that is pleasurable and exciting. Building cruise ships - just excellent.
It is such a treat to talk to someone who knows how to communicate with clarity and enthusiasm.
This series is so cool. While I'm not a fan of cruise ships, the engineering here is amazing.
curiae : The Roman senate or any of the various buildings in which it met in republican Rome.
Watching these videos takes me back to my first time on my old ship. She was in drydock when I was first stationed there, and I can still remember the smells and sounds. I know how those metal gangways feel under a pair of boots. The rough, irregular texture of the metal handrails. Takes me all the way back.
please take this as the complement it's intended to be. Adam Savage is an Enabler. Though his own enthusiasm for making things he enables others to be enthusiastic about their passions. that is really cool.
I have to say, with this series, it is so much better than anything I've seen on modern commercial liners. It is head and shoulders better than shows which have been on Discovery or Nat Geo, etc. Seriously, very well done!!! ❤
That Princess-guy should get a raise! The passion!
I'm sure he's very well-paid for his knowledge and effort...
Loving this series. Adam would kill at a Modern Marvels type of show
That was great, thanks for sharing it Adam. The gentleman you spoke with was super knowledgable and could speak to all aspects of the build, I was entertained & educated.
Wow. What a fantastic interview. Adam, you were THE GUY to choose for this. Just like Norm is for VR. Quality content. 10/10.
The thing that really amazes me is the thought process that needs to be done to organize what part comes first and what part comes next and then what part comes three weeks from now. Keeping on top of what needs to be done and the order it needs to be done in seems an incredible feat to accomplish.
such a great series! I never would have imagined the cassette style of cabins that's mind-blowing. it's also funny I just had the realisation that i'm sitting here on my lunch break watching an engineering video before i go back to my job as an engineer, completely different fields of course but the passion for problem solving never dies!
I'm a cnc machinist, I work for a VERY small company (two employees) but we make parts for all sorts of big companies. We actually made two capstan drums (one was a prototype) for princess. It's quite a sizeable chunk of steel and makes a fantastic paperweight. Although, deskweight might be a better word.
Oh man! I'm loving this series. It's like watching a spaceship/starship (think the enterprise) being built!
He strikes me as someone who had a great passion, but also a great imagination. Exactly the person who builds things loathes .
Outstanding inside look. Thank you for taking us along.
If your looking at other tours like this , you should visit Tait Towers. They build most of the bespoke Rock”n”roll touring sets for all the major touring acts.
They specialise in new technology’s and quick builds both in their construction open their factories, but also onsite during bump ins and load outs.
They even redesign the truck packs for the tours
James was absolutely brilliant, really engaging and a pleasure to listen to, these videos where Adam is free to just talk and geek out with someone involved in the project are some of my favourites!!
I was lucky enough to get a tour of a cruiseship drydock while studying. One of the most mindblowing revelations was that the ship does not wait for anyone. If there is a inner element produced offsite, that is late. They will still close up the side of the ship and then later cut a hole in the side of the ship to bring the inner element in and then weld the hole shut. That is more cost efficient, than waiting for anything thats late. :D
It is so awesome to see the range you have for things made! From this ship to a watch. Both very complex but on extreme scales! Thanks for sharing that Adam!
I absolutely loved this video! The amount of knowledge the architect has is amazing. He was so excited to talk about his expertise. You guys should do more of this type of videos. Maybe next time you can show us some of the actual build. I’m a big fan and enjoy everything you do. Always look forward to the next one! Thanks for sharing
It’s too bad that we don’t take the same approach to building basic affordable housing. Maybe one day?
Modular homes like that are a thing. The issue is the developer wants to make as much as possible from each lot. So cheap homes just don’t get built.
I am on my very first cruise on Regal Princess, and yesterday booked our second cruise on this very ship. I watch this channel all the time, but was blown away that I found the Sun Princess series at such a strangely perfect time…. I am actually quite mind blown at the timing
Has this ship been sold? Also, what is the range of costs? Would love to take my dad
Well, it is clear that James has found his place. Happy to see people work with something they are passionate about.
I'm impressed that during the whole tour the engineer never forgot this is one big ad for the cruise line.
This has been incredible. Thank you for doing this and for your constant excitement.
I've gotta say we loved our Princes Cruise we did a years ago, you can see why they have to work like a well oiled machine & that they do take things seriously even from the very beginning. While on the cruise I honestly spent a lot of time looking at how they get things to work especially on such a large scale, it was extremely interesting & time well spent during my holiday away. Thanks!
My father worked in shipyard in so many aspects for several decades after working his way up the ladder. Some of the stories he’s told are just unbelievable. The magic the craftsmen before digital anything was just that. Magical.
2 years sounds insane! Even Adam has worked on projects for decades. I get the full time staff, but wow. When you can fully design without regulation red tape it's amazing (and regulation isn't a bad thing).
Lol there was an overpass in my home county that took almost a decade to complete. And these cruise ships can be busted out and seaworthy in a fraction of that time!
I think the most interesting part of this is the random glimpses at the engineering drawings. So much more information about how these ships are built than you can get from looking at the deck plans on the Princess site.
Thanks for sharing this Adam. The fact that the cabins are built as indivudual cassettes and slotted into place is something I was completely unaware of. I need to go and investigate this construction, it's absolutely fascinating. I would love to understand more about how superstructures are planned. I love this channel.
This was amazing to watch and really helps me appreciate all the effort that goes into building/operating one of these ships. I would love to see a series into different portions on the different engineering challenges.
This is my fave cruise ship video so far! It never even occurred to me that the cabins were built off-site and then slid into place with an elevator!! Thats so interesting!!
I work in the PME building design field. Modular construction has been used on several of my projects. Typically patient rooms for hospitals and conduit/duct/piping "racks" for above ceiling runs.
Unbelievable just unbelievable. The cabins alone, to make them fit with Lego brick precision is mind blowing,but they are fitted to something that bends as well !!! Fantastic series Adam.
Thnx for this great episode Adam. It's so much fun to see the two of you being passionate about engineering. This guy has a fantastic job. Thnx!
15:00 i wonder how many people will realize just how much of a game changer this one point is, "the trades no longer fighting for space"...
I am a structural engineer that primarily focuses on marine front projects. I have done projects for several cruise lines and am currently working on two huge facilities in the Bahamas. One of the items that got me excited on this ship is the embarkation doors. These tend to be a pain in the butt when designing these structures since the pier/wharf deck height tends to be fixed because of this. That means, bollard locations, fender panel sizes, pile cut-off locations, beam construction are all tightly monitored because no one wants to construct a concrete beam in the surf or cut a steel pile to elevation that may be partially under water. Being able to raise the deck even a few cm is a game changer.
Side note, larger vessels mean larger loads, which means larger piers/wharfs are needed. Looks like I can be expecting projects popping up from Princess soon.
This was an invigorating video!! So neat!!
Oh, that fight for space and your craft getting the easy access and forget those coming behind you. That fight went on into the 80's at least with military ships. I can say that having been there and done that. I loved ship repair etc. No two ships being the same and it was always like working to save a wounded whale...a Steel Whale.
For sponsored content this was amazing. If not for the contrived mention of “princess this, princess that” I would’ve had no inkling that it wasn’t just an organic conversation that you set up purely due to the awesomeness of the operation.
And now I'm watching "mythbusters" on TV. Thank you Adam for all the experiments
Imagine if they used this tech at scale to make tiny homes durable and affordable.
Making them off grid adaptable would be a value bonus.
loving this series!
Super cool stuff, I could watch it all day
Impressive ship. All of the people Adam has talked to in this series have been really informative and interesting.
This guy is a GREAT spokesperson for everything Adam covered in the video! He definitely earns his paycheck.
This James Kent guy is very engaging. Good work.
Fascinating video. Thanks.
It might be the size of a skyscraper, but it's constructed more like a car. It doesn't have to be built in layers in a confined space the way buildings do so it's possible to built it faster. Rockets would also be built that way, although their engineering would likely take longer.
This man needs to do broadcasting on the side. Such a great voice.
as a maintenance engineer that has worked on passenger ship for many years, i hate this kind of thinking.... i dont how many times we have force to cut through so much stuff, just to repair a small leak, cuz it is to cramped....... and often the job gets so big that you have to wait until down time to do something about it 😞
would it be easier if ships were constructed differently? or is it just because they're trying to cram so many people in such a small space?
This could easily be an ongoing series with other builds.
This guy could have a decent side gig doing audio books.
Clearly inspired by the Fhloston Paradise
Adam must get great complimentary deals from Princess Cruises.....
Totally awesome dude
I just love this type of thinking applied to seemingly "boring" tech like cruise ships the scale alone is such a challenge it feels like they can conquer anything physics can throw at it! They've come a million miles in a couple of years tech-wise!
Really enjoying these videos.
Awesome video! ❤
The engineering of installing large modular parts, as opposed to assembling parts that can be carried by one or a few workers, is a feat in itself. That could be another whole episode.
Royal Viking actually advertises that their ships aren't blown-out monstrosities like Princess and Carnival's fleet: "No casino, no mall, no kids."
Shame nobody watches TV because I would have watched "Adam Savage Learns" on Discovery.
An amazing video is Disney "re-theming" one of their cruise ships. From dry dock to back to cruising was less than three months. All new paint, all new interiors, new cabins, new show rooms, etc. Just an amazing orchestration of material an talents. I really want to take a behind the scenes tour of a ship to see how all that functions once built.
Tangential to this. The technique of prefabricating a full space as a module and dropping it into its final place is happening in apartment construction. I drove by a building being "populated" with prefab condo units. The building, like a ship, was steel framed and fully plumbed/wired. The fully finished plastic wrapped condos arrived on 18 wheelers. Once unwrapped they were lifted into place and the bits connected up with quick connects. Gaps between adjacent spaces had flap down "bridge" pieces with cover strips dropped in during the process. It was strange to see a full kitchenette with all cabinet, counters and appliances installed hoisted into place.
I wonder if they build new rooms and slide them into an old ship. This is actually the same way that the Contemporary hotel at Disney World was built but apparently the building settled and its now impossible to remove the rooms.
Holy crap. I have 10 doors in my house and they don't all seat great. It blows my mind to think that they have thousands mounted to a flexing ship. They must have unique hinges and frames to adjust doors. WOW
You know, i never thought about that. Now i wanna know how they do it that is truly a good question.
"Panama Compliant" is a pretty nifty phrase, TBH.
This is timely. Just got off a cruise ship 2 days ago.
😮 the time building it an the size and the engineering behind it... 🤯
Not only am I as blown away as Adam over the engineering points…. But OHHH WOW … WHAT AN AWESOME CONVERSATION….. JAMES….. WELL DONE SIR
Very interesting timing, in that I just finished on August 12th an 8-day Alaskan cruise on the Royal Priincess.
1. Brazil executive decision maker desk toy 1 day build
2. I can't wait until space ships are built this way in Iowa.
Sorry if I sound mean but there's a very important difference that makes building a skyscraper like the Empire State Building and building a cruise ship of equivalent size. A cruise ship is build horizontally and requires less structural support to to hold the upper levels while a skyscraper has a relatively tiny footprint to hold up all that weight and thus need lots of support to hold it.
Great job bro
I wish such incredible engineering could be more beneficial to mankind over all, but my enormous respect to such talent, discipline and skill.
I love learning about these ships. Super interesting
sounds like they built a personal hell for maintenance men, disguised as a cruise ship
You guys need more sponsored series if you can swing it! Adam is so good at this stuff that its a shame you don't do it more.
16:60 this guy is a legend, would make #RCE proud
Really love this series of videos Adam, such an amazing engineering on that ship, please more!
i am loving this series, i would like nothing less than to go on a cruise, my sort of thing will be all the behind the scenes stuff that passangers are not allowed to see.
they offer a behind the scenes tour on cruises, but some lines restrict access based on loyalty level (after my next cruise I reach the level on NCL where I can take this tour). Many offer a "how to run a floating hotel" event on a sea day where the Captain and other senior officers speak about the departments they manage and show pictures of some of the spaces they run. Passengers can sometimes ask questions as well.
Ok so I have a question as an engineer.. are they engineers designing rooms for a cruise ship, or are they architects? Where does the line get drawn between laying out a living space, and designing a moving structure?
Ships are designed by Naval Architects, which is an engineering profession. Ship interiors are undoubtedly designed in consultation with interior designers experienced in marine vessel interiors.
The Empire State Building, (since you brought it up), was built in one year and forty-five days.
Engineers love to fill every hole, but someone else has to go in those tight holes to do repairs.
ill be real, i absolutely love things that utilize module building like this, its just so satisfying like putting together a Lego set
12:04 unexpected but proud.
If Adam and Tested are really getting more intrigued and invested in construction, they should get in touch with Fred Mills and the B1M RUclips channel... a fantastic channel about construction of all types.
Aaron Witt as well. He's more on the dirt side but he's been to some interesting construction sites...
Please start a podcast with James. That man is amazing.
OK Hands up. Who else scrolling on their phone and saw the 'SMARTER' text in the thumbnail and was expecting Destin
It’s funny that most cruise companies would probably rather you not worry about how the magic works, but I’m sure there’s a ton of people who would find that just as interesting.
This almost make me want to go on cruise... almost.
Well, azipods are not neccessarily more efficient. For a cargo ship, they're less efficient than regular shafts because there's less drag and less mechanical losses on a straight shaft. But a cargo ship spends weeks at a time sailing in more or less a straight line. A cruise ship does a whole lot less of the long sailing, and it's in and out of ports the whole time. Having azipods may cut the need for tugs down, using one tug instead of two to dock each time will save a lot of money, probably more than the drag losses of the pods while at sea.
There are retractable azimuth thrusters as well.
one tug instead of two? How about NO tugs at all. Watch the live-stream of the port of Miami and the only tugs you'll see on a big cruise day are moving the fuel barges around. The ships can do a 180 with zero assistance.
Sooooooooo. You’re saying that there’s a potential for thrusters on a cruise ship ?
SWEEEEEEEEEET❤
cruise ships are simultaneously a pinnacle of human engineering prowess, and also one of the worst things we have done imo
That is mindblowing. I remember with Project Egress, just hard it was to get 50 makers to assemble components that fit together for a museum display... now I'm thinking about the 10s of thousands of engineers working together to design a massive structure that is completely water-tight...
And has people on board! Like many, many, many people!
And how well these ships handle adverse conditions. I remember when the Star Princess had a major balcony fire in 2006 that damaged over 300 cabins, and the only death on a ship with thousands of passengers was from a heart attack during the muster, with only a handful of passengers treated for smoke inhalation. That could have been far worse than it was, and it's a tribute to the ship design and the crew that it wasn't.
