Even with them prefab have you thought of the logistics of loading placing and connecting between 2000 and 3000 cabins

Like wow that's a huge crew required in its own right

I thought it was interesting, too. I especially liked the shower doors, rather than the "too personal" shower curtains. :p

The other thing to remember is not all the cabins are prefab, the high end suites are built on the ship, vs put together and rolled into place.

Fortunately the evil shower curtains only remain on 9 ships in the fleet, including the 7 oldest ships. As those ships are retired over the next decade or so, the eradication of the shower curtain will be to Royal Caribbean what the eradication of Small Pox was to the world.

Reminds me of how they built the Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World 45 years ago. They constructed the rooms offsite and then slotted them into place in the frame of the building:

Thanks for sharing those pics! I wasnt even two years old when that place opened in 1971.

 

My high school senior prom was held there in 1988. We got to ride in the very front of the monorail around the park that night. I dont think they let anyone do that anymore.

 

I always loved that resort.
