erby2283 Posted November 29, 2023 #3378 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I just want to thank @Eremita85 @Lloyd555 and all the others who have kept us updated with pictures and videos. This is probably the first time I have kept up with a thread about the building of a new cruise ship. I work for a heavy highway civil construction consulting firm and we schedule roadway projects and I just cannot imagine what the CPM (critical path method) schedule looks like when trying to build a cruise ship. Truly an amazing feat! 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s warmer in Cadiz and they need to load out all the horticulture. Also probably better access for their FFE finishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked it for day 6 of the inaugural. If they are offering free sessions it give me lots of time to cancel. If they're having free sessions let me know. Mike is probably interested.

davidrlewis2302 Posted December 1, 2023 #3389 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Successfully cleared! We were never in any doubt. She didn’t go as fast under as I thought she would. I remember when Oasis went under they made a big deal about having to go at full speed, Icon increased from about 13kts to 16kts.

They shouldn't have marketed the Pearl and just left it as a interesting site to walk through, in the end it can't be a constant show where people gather for several minutes and block a walkway/promenade. It would just end up being a bottleneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
