Beautiful ship. Inches on either side and below for passage.

Why?

Looks like plenty of room on each side. Not only 2' like was stated there.

It's a cruise ship not someone's yacht

Could you imagine that being your personal yacht with the cost to operate that beast along with the payment plan? And I'm complaining about filling up our 50 gallon gas tank and $48 a year for the registration.

It would be a pain to net fish from that thing

Yea but the water slide off the back and into the water would be outrageous...

I saw either that boat or one from it's fleet/class when in St. Thomas on vacation. There was a Carnival ship docked behind her and the Celebrity boat looked like it could have eaten the Carnival ship. Truely a monster!

Although I love boating, I'm not generally a fan of cruise ships. This one, however, I think actually has some style. Interesting to note the tugboat off the stern was facing away from the ship. I wonder if it was just there to add some predictible and stabilizing "reverse" thrust.

As for the fit - they could have improved things by closing those observation hatches either side of the bow that the crew was gawking from...

You could get a real nice spread, with a cast nest, but it might be a chore to pull in.

Bull Hockey. it is a yacht. It's my Yacht as a matter of fact.
See what happens when you are a marine tech and overcharge several million customers.
Even after buying it, I can still afford to fill it up with fuel and crew and take friends on trips around the world.

If the crew can't handle a simple job like parking or getting through tight places, they get replaced.

PS: Fishing isn't a problem. Several 40' pleasure and fishing skiffs if needed. Shame you can't see the VTOL jet on the aft deck for when you really have to be there.

I would think that the iboats moderator fee paid for that in your first year! Hey, where are the rod holders?
