[welltester10]

Really people are your lives that bad that you would vacation on a cruise ship.

[tupsumato]

@welltester10, why not? Going on a cruise doesn't necessarily mean that your life sucks.

[onemanband08]

@welltester10 As opposed to a vacation doing something else? If you fly to a spot, you usually stay in that area... With a cruise you go to a few different places. Plus you have things to do on the ship the whole time.

[TheAmlife]

@welltester10 So people have bad lives because they can spend multiple nights sleeping on a form of transportation that lets you; get as much free food as they want at any time, watch movies, go to a play, play hockey, basketball, volleyball, go swimming, gamble, dance, watch the ocean, and go shopping at some of the best stores.........? Nobody told me there was a new definition of having a "bad life". >.>

[nikolapompikola]

it's one amazing ship, it's my dream to go on there (:

[PetriAL]

I was onboard when we went under the bridge in Denmark, to be more presice, I was next to the funnels :)

[trentos10]

no no no! i know it isn't a fake its st that the video doent look legit

[beaum1cah]

this shows that cruise ships cant get any taller they can only get wider and longer...like male enhancements!!

[jaylang121]

at 0:54m is it opening up? i cant tell

[KomendantHauer]

All this about the squat effect is only "prestige nonsens", she would had made it under the bridge anyway because of the tide, they would never take such a chance. However the squat effect gave them an extra margin.

[John27346]

How do you actually know this please?

[KomendantHauer]

from experience

[John27346]

What experience?

[CLUISD]

woah... my dad is working in this ship too bad he is the one who saw it with out me aww!!!

[joshuasteed1]

They are travelling at high speed because the squat effect increases with increase in speed. Still, its not normal for a ship to deliberately travel at high speed when heading straight toward a danger. Must have been an exhilirating experience! :-)

[babosa82]

this effect is called squat effect and normaly used in such situations. The captain does exactly know what he is doing ;-)

[smexsa]

this looooook so close and fast ^ ^

[av8james]

i was reading a bit about this, the where going about 20 knots, and due to some effect that happens, it sucks the ship down, that combined with ballasting and everything, I think it only had 2 feet of clearence. ! absolutley fantastic ship, but I do think freedom class looks visually nicer to look at :P

[trentos10]

it looks fake

[TheNinjaTrio]

It's not fake i actually saw it in person with my own 2 eyes u bitch

[CLUISD]

so u mean... Oasis of the seas (a ship of royal Caribbean company) is also fake?.... -_-... search this all over the web and u will see lots of this

[Jenserism]

I live in Denmark and I was there! So this isnt fake

[BerPolo]

i came!!!!!!!!!

[scardboy]

this isnt fake

[hasbor]

what the fuck is this ?

[Kjaasan]

LOL ? Dont u know ? this is the largest cruise ship on earth... Royal caribbean were order one of these more :D

[sethmac86]

FAKE

[nr3bror]

OH! really?

I live in Denmark, and how come it was in the news and stuff? my cousin saw it all even.

[Jplayre927]

man that thing is state of the art! cant wait to go on it =]

[peraknowya]

theres noway that first part of the video when the ship was going under just looks way to fake! Ive seen about every type and quality od video thats out there and just the way it looks you can tell it was done with cgi

[unregisteredcoward]

I bet you could tell by the pixels, right?

[ColinZeal01]

Thank GOD you´re with us. There´s only you who can spot it´s cgi.

Only thing is that you´re WRONG. *face palm*

It´s real man, get over it. This was widely reported in Scandinavia this weekend. Why the H would they make a fake cgi of this when everyone knows the ship made it??!??!

[ColinZeal01]

this was directed @peraknowya 4 posts down

[G3m1nu5]

true video... several of my co-workers were on that ship.... some still are. AMA

[timothy51886]

the ship purposley went fast because the boat rides lower at faster speeds.

[popeyoni]

How can this be on "31 of November 2009" do you have a time machine?

[sbharj24]

lol!! he need to put up a video on how the time machine works, that would be alot more interesting

[mariepier1983]

I learn something!

[hsd628]

Fuck me, that thing is FAST! For something with that displacement / the size of a large apartment building, I am literally astounded it can move through the water that quickly. Is this video sped up?

[psion01]

No, it wasn't sped up at all. Apparently, the ship sinks lower in the water as it goes faster, so to clear the bridge they decided to go fast under it.

RAMMING SPEED!

[sieb]

a video from the future

[fafaforza]

I read that they sped the ship up so that it would sink deeper into the water and be able to make it under the bridge. It has 1 foot clearance, even with its exhausts retracted, so going quick was necessary, apparently.
