@kleenmaide i won one of them a few nights ago for a hula hoop contest

[Daniel7681]

@kleenmaide I have a couple from rock climbing competitions :D

[hk15]

who build their? Oasis and Allure?

[ARSA525]

@hk15 Stx ship yard in Turku, Finland.

[hk15]

@ARSA525 thanks.. have you more notice about they if are they are build a new big one?

[ARSA525]

@hk15 I am Finnish, so the news of building a new ship like Allure or Oasis would have already been in the media, so most likely there's no third ship being built. But if they order one, it'll definately make to the news! :-)

[Finland1965]

Den där jävla bron är ivägen för högre båtar från Finland.

[Coti76]

@Finland1965 Og hvad fanden rager det os. Så må de få bygget deres pisbåde andre steder. Eller sejle rundt ved finland. The bridge is greater than any boat. Go *beeep* yourself.

[whitekit]

im so excited! im going on this in 4 days

[MyLittlePlace1]

@whitekit you are luckyO_O how much does it cost:D

[adawg95]

it doesn't matter you guys. the allure of the seas doesn't have to clear bridges. its route is in florida, where it leaves from for lauderdale.

[Ypsiroselee]

@rhuang114 Simply answering an argument, in part or whole, doesn't speak to it's veracity. Non sequitur. And nope, he hasn't proven my design arguments wrong. Logically or factually. And I'm not arguing the sea route. Let it go.

I'm a curmudgeon: designing ships to clear obstacles by <1' is very unwise. Technical feasibility is one thing; yet millions in ship & civil design are involved here, and priceless human lives can be lost should sea conditions go out of specification.

[Ypsiroselee]

Um, basically, instead of worrying about finding ways to clear the bridge, they should have spent the time finding an alternate route.

Better yet, someone should have spent some time measuring obstacles their ships may be called up on to clear...

[tupsumato]

@Ypsiroselee, there is no alternate route to and from the Baltic Sea.

[Ypsiroselee]

@tupsumato Understood.  So we are back to the design.

[DrBergdahl]

@Ypsiroselee Yeah and since its quite obvious that this bridge is the lowest point on the best route available from the shipyard out to the ocean, they measured it and designed the ships (Oasis and Allure) to fit under it.

Um, basically you are one step behind the rest here.

[Ypsiroselee]

@DrBergdahl Yes, by a foot. I'm silly, I would prefer to account for things like swells, possible density variations of the seawater, and the like. Should there have been an accident, the bridge is rendered useless.

[DrBergdahl]

@Ypsiroselee Wow, you do seem kind of silly. Your comments show how little you know. Obviously you're not from the north of europe. Here we have the capacity to pull things like this off. What you seem to consider reckless, is actually performed in a calculated and controlled manner. Instead of criticizing, show some respect.

[av8james]

@DrBergdahl 100% agree with DrBergdahl, they take everything ito account, and do everything possible to make the ship sit as low in the water as possible, by sailing at low tide and going as fast as possible which greats low pressure under the ship pulling it down in the water, also as the guy in the video said, they had retractable funnels aswell.

[Streptokokki]

@Ypsiroselee Good luck finding an alternate route. That's the only route from Baltic sea to the Atlantic that ship could use. Look at some maps before posting. :D

[Ypsiroselee]

@Streptokokki Please read the entirety of someone's post before replying to only part of it. As in "Better yet, someone should have spent more time measuring obstacles, &c...." my REAL criticism of this folly.

Did anyone consider that the ocean may well be rising? Will the funnels retract below where they are? I still don't see the wisdom in designing a ship that clears obstacles by less than a foot.

It costs big money to redirect a ship if the water is too high. Or fix a bridge.

[rhuang114]

@Ypsiroselee Even if he hadn't completely read the comment his answer suffices to both parts correctly, and thus you are in the wrong.

[2009Kx85rider]

ill be on allure in feb =)

[E11VeNE]

SO why do they need two of them?

[2009Kx85rider]

@E11VeNE because there sister ships. and oasis and allure go to different ports 

[maurituva10]

And congrat´s to Finland, who built this mega wessel! :)

[Mikey84]

@maurituva10

Yes, this ship was built in a Finnish yard, but IIRC there were also something 30 European / international companies involved in the building process... heard that from an official Royal Caribbean video... so I think it's not entirely Finnish although a big deal of it is made by Finnish brain and hands :)

[Mikey84]

@Mikey84

... and the shipyard in Turku is owned by a South Korean company xD ...

[tupsumato]

@Mikey84, there were nearly a thousand subcontractors involved in building these ships, most of them Finnish.

[Mikey84]

@tupsumato

Ah, OK. Thanks for information. :)

[Cuddlynutbear]

My partner is on that ship right now. This must have been cool to see this!!

[djzion6602]

I'll be on this ship in March

[naeverdreng]

I was there weeee! God damn it was close..

[Amarinam]

Holy crap, you'd never even know you're at sea, that thing is massive.

[navgirljen]

Wow, quite amazing!

[beamishgroup]

AnotherCopierOFM13: ROFLMAO, that was funny

[alejandrasaechao]

I thought about it...

[balouserena]

Very nice footage that covers nearly every possible angel of the passage , - UNTIL 2:08 - 2:10 . I am one of these spectators and we never saw the AOTS that close and heading directly against the shore of Zealand .

[Shinzia]

Made in Finland.
