@@conveyor2 Correct. But Royal Caribbean has problems allowing for enough space in their common areas such as elevators and such.

And as mentioned above the pools were always crowded as well.
WOW 😲 This is amazing 🙌😁I love see the extreme level of efficiency, green technology, and sustainability in powering the Icon of the Seas. I am an advocate for sustainability and conservation. And I'm very passionate and feel very good when I see these changes that we can all do together at a faster pace with more planning and serious changes♻️.

Symphony of the seas wasn't introduced all that long ago. Then Wonder of the Seas just recently, now this ship? I guess Royal Caribbean just doesn't know the limits of their greed.
Whenever I travel on a ship or ferry, I always head for the engine rooms. Being a chartered design engineer, they almost always make me very welcome. On most major ships, the engineers take great pride in their work and like other people to see the results. They also like a fresh pair of eyes to help them resolving any problems.
Don't know why i laughed when near the beginning when he described the engine size. 'Around 3.93 metres wide'. Not around 4 metres or around 3.9, but 3.93. Perhaps it's just me.
Of course! Lol. But there is an element of truth to it! Like if electric cars really are the answer to save our planet then why don’t they make battery powered airplanes and rockets? Carbon pollution is bad when I drive my car, but it’s ok for big companies and big government to do it on large scale.
Its not 10,000 people. 2,350 crew. 5,610 guest. The ship is so big and split into 5 neighborhoods over crowding really wont be an issue. I also don’t understand that concern.

Unless of course you’re going to something super private and high end.
@@theambitiousalpaca4956 I know I said "With a Capacity of 10,000". Meaning....the capability of handling 10,000 passengers. Which I believe means MAX CAPACITY.
I cannot understand why anyone thinks a cruise such as this is a worthy vacation. Yay, you get to go to a crowded pool, cheap shows and carnival like cheap rides. Why not AirBnB across a few European countries? Not more expensive either.
Pretty misleading talk about the fuel cells and batteries. I suppose, the ship won't work a decent time on battery power alone. And what's the power output of the fuel cell system? 1% of the diesel generators? 10%? However, they seem to have made some effort to reduce the environmental impact of this ship. Of course, nobody really NEEDS cruise ships, as well as nobody really NEEDS vacation at remote destinations (flights for vacation). But it could be much worse.
Buyer Beware!! I have a cruise booked on RCL which is over 500 days away. I booked, non-refundable, for $900. I just tried to cancel the cruise, because of immigration issues which were not foreseeable and out of my control. RCL refuses to even give me a partial refund
@@RedneckandPinayMost countries for cruises are no problem and many waive the requirement (as with most carribbean cruises) for Port of Call stops because it is made the expectation you will not be there longer than 24 hours. However if your ship ends its cruise at a port outside of your departing country then yes, you will need a visa.
Kudos to the engineers and their efforts to make things better. Gotta ask ourselves - if we are serious about reducing fossil fuel usage and co2 emissions - do we really need any of these ships.
The world is a crazy place these days. 10,000 people in one tiny spot on the ocean might make a very likely target for some demented terrorist group. Very worrisome.

Why on earth do these sorts of videos refer to power output in kilowatts? Half a billion people in the English-speaking world have no idea what a 'kilowatt'' of power is. Sure, most understand 1 kilowatt is 1000 watts (in the sense of electrical consumption)...but this is meaningless when referring to the power output of an internal combustion engine.

22knots/hr. Means roughly 25mph. At 1,000 gallons per hour you're burning at about 40 gallons every mile or 0.025mpg.
