Replacing that top window has ruined the house altogether and the traditional furniture removal hook can no longer be used. Nice flowers.

I’m sure all the calculations are approved for the design of this monstrosity, but I would like to know the distance between the centre of gravity and the centre of buoyancy before I set foot on it. Those bridge wings have such flimsy supports that I expect no-one can stand out on them at full speed due to vibrations shaking everything to pieces. I doubt the passengers live in blocks of flats, so what is the appeal?

This is not the only ship pushing the limits of seaworthiness in order to maximise revenue. Apart from the technical questions, I would consider a cruise on something like this my worst nightmare.
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

We have no interest in cruises too. Some of our friends and my sister and BiL are very keen on them. I can honestly say that the thought of being captive with them for one, two or more weeks would have me frantically looking for a plank to walk!
