The World's Largest Cruise Ship, as of 2006

[MineCodMod]

i saw my cabin where i lived last month! :)

[grumpyunderworl]

Great video thanks for posting. I also found cruisesforthefamily (.) com to be a good source .

[cirquefreak1000]

The Queen Mary 2 was bigger than the Titanic.

The Titanic was the biggest ship back in her day. I've been on 40 cruises and Queen Mary 2 is larger than Titanic

[dlabout]

Allure of the seas is reported to be 5mm longer than Oasis. Reason for the difference is the sum total of all the welds increased Allure by what is about a 1/4 of an inch.

[spikonaleash]

OASIS OF THE SEAS

[AshleyS466]

I went on this ship.. It was really nice(:

[DarthTaiter79]

Nearly the entire population of the town I live in could fit on that ship. I know this is an older video and Oasis of the Seas is biggest now, but these ships are amazing in their size.

[ClarksonsinUSA]

Any one have any suggestions or tips on cruise holidays, I am taking my family on a Mediterranean cruise on the NCL ship JADE later this year departing from Barcelona ...3 teens and twins 23 months,my wife and I......First Mediterranean cruise ,we have been on 1 cruise to the CARIBBEAN and 1 out of NYC to CANADA...... We HAVE BEEN TO Europe 3 TIMES...

There is a lot of energy on a family vacation overseas ,when there are many children...

[skeymoe87]

[Mattsana]

I think its Emma Maersk. If it hasn't been succeeded by an other.

[1k9e8n1]

Jahre Viking

[KowskI84]

Titanic was tiny compared to the ships being built these days..... And the queen mary is titanic's sister ship - Its the same size!!!

[kirkslastbid]

In sept. we're gunna find out if a 48 year old fart can ride that wave !!! I think I can !!!

[Infotiimi]

[DexDizzy]

i wonder if they have something bigger then the titanic

[grenerd84]

the oasis class from royal caribbean is much bigger than the titanic, freedom of the seas is just under it's size.

[cruiselover5]

No Freedom of the Seas is bigger. Titanic was 882 ft long. Freedom of the Seas is 1,112 ft long. Oasis of the Seas is 1,181 ft long.

[mysticalwonder7]

Really?!!! 1112 feet?!! I read over 800 somewhere. That's HUUUGGGEE!!

[Zackary747]

@cruiselover5 Hight.

[FruityLoopsas]

This is bigger than titainc

[jaumem9]

a lot of ships are bigger than titanic ¬¬

[dlabout]

RMS Titanic was 46,328 gross tons. Freedom of the seas is 160,000 gross tons.

[thweepz]

dude the queen elizabeth 2 already 40 years old is bigger than the titanic. so iss the queen mary 2

[divadun]

no it's not the biggest in the world oisis of the seas coming out in december 2009 duhh......

[hankyboy101]

yeah it will be the biggest for about six months then it wil be EPIC from Norigian Cruise Line

[dlabout]

Epic is only 153,000 tons. Freedom is at 160,000 and Oasis of the seas is 220,000 tons.

[BenetFleck]

"SHIT OF THE SEA"

[ironman4789]

bulshit the oasis of the sea and the mary 2 ARE THE BIGGEST

[sbazzle]

Don't get all worked up. Jeez. This video was put up three years ago.

[justifytruth]

..read the title..................as of 2006....

everyone knows that the OASIS OF THE SEAS will be the bIGgest...but still under construction....

[childrenwithcancer]

you prickl its 3 years old!

[09274074]

great..its the biggest...

[aphh3]

Genesis is being built right now here in Turku, Finland. I see it everyday.

It is like a mountain.

[mizzamoe]

wow that's interesting

[jstuf1234]

war monger lool i went on explorer of the seas got back earlier and we parked up next to adventure in dominica or st maarten lool your ship was a 9 day cruise?

[xxWarMonger2xx]

Oasis is going to be even bigger. 5400-6000 guests on board... i just came home from a royal caribbean cruise " Adventure of the Seas" last sunday.

[herhighnessdandyone]

oasis OWNS

[dreamsum]

lol "project genesis", sounds intense...

I dont get it. Its not really a boat, its a giant shopping mall/hotel... which floats, but you wouldn't know it if you weren't near a window. But i guess there's a market for that

[IchigoDoTa]

Oooh project genesis would be revealed in 2009.... WHICH IS ABOUT THIS YEAR!

[pongo750]

it's actually liberty of the seas

[Cashis20]

why is the boat in 0:35 shooting water?

Whats the point?

or is it just for show :P

[stillspinnen490]

its like an inaugural tradition, when a ship arrives to its first port of call, its what the little tug boats do..

[diana83983]

Oasis is ganna be WAY bigger .

[stevecurwin]

QM2 is bigger

[lukeslandspeeder]

yeah.. something else only for the rich. lame.

[shockwhat]

thats siiick

[lisasidvish]

I love Royal Caribbean. I sailed on the Independence of the Seas last year - Huuuuuge ship! Any questions, feel free to ask.

Don't just book it..... Thomas Cook it!

Call Lisa @ Cruise Thomas Cook on free phone 0800 916 3224 (opt 2 to jump the queue)!

[reebokblokey]

Just amazing I have been on the newer version The Independence Of The Seas last May and fell in love with it, pure heaven... I have booked again so off around the med in May 09 few months time again on the Indy Of the Seas... If you have never cruised before you must go, it was my first time and I am hooked for life... mark

[KUOLEMA1000]

hahaa, i was building it!!

[mightycowhero]

that's not a cruise ship. that's a star destroyer. :P

[Indigos8rboi]

if that's a star destroyer then what's oasis going 2 b?

[mightycowhero]

a station lol.

[johnnysoaresrex]

HAHA I went on this :)

[AllAmericanPerson]

omg ive wanted 2 go on this ship ever since it was built

[ridethespiral23]

Hell yea i wanted to work on a cruise ship, if i had to choose which line it would have to be this one,....carnival triumph would be a nice second,, its like the third largest and its hard as fuck to land a job on these things

[Bakkumterritory]

imagine how big the engine is

[scubasteve0690]

Engine's. ;)

[wayne205stevens]

& Fuel tank/s :)

[hunju100]

what is the name of this ship

[drktyreal]

Freedom Of The Seas.

[PJSJ22]

The Freedom of the Seas has a larger gross tonnage than the QM2, but the QM2 is longer, taller, and wider than the Freedom Class ships. Both ships however, will be surpassed by Royal Caribbean's Genesis of the Seas in 2009. It will be 220,000 gross tons, and 1,181 feet long. My favorite is the QM2 due to the fact that she holds much fewer passengers, and is of a higher standard than Royal Caribbean.

[kytheguy]

1 whats the hell is a gross tonnage 2 don't answer the first question...WHO THE&*%$ CARES ITS A FRIKKIN LUXURY SHIP

[PJSJ22]

The gross tonnage of a ship refers to the total volume of the enclosed space in a ship. The QM2 has a tonnage of 150,000 tons, while FOTS has a tonnage of around 158,000 tons. The QM2 is, as I stated before, is taller, longer, and wider than the Freedom class.

[watchinu66]

It's just a big dinghy with windows really...lol

[spikehamer2]

now its called adventures of the seas, i was there

it was fun

[tvkyva13]

i just went on a royal carribean cruise and ive been on two carnival cruises and i think i like carnival better, but the royal carribean was still an awesome vacation and ship

[Jazaaam]

carnival owns royal carribean if you are talking about quantity (they own like 5 cruise lines and have like 80 ships. but if you are talking about quality it's royal caribean no question.

[fretty6u]

titanic was the largest ocean liner

[Jazaaam]

uhm why did u eply to my comment, if ur reply didnt have anything to do with wut i said

[KoushOWNs]

i love little boys

[SCAGNETY]

Carnival Corporation owns Carnival Cruiselines, Princess Cruises, Holland America, Costa, Windstar, The Yachts of Seabourne, And recently aquired Aida. I don't have any recornds of them taking over Royal Caribbean......... Yes, I work there:)

[Jazaaam]

yes i am aware that they own so much. royal caribean is quality before quantity and carnival is the opposite. the crew(cleaning,cooking, all that stuff) of the ships are amazing. ive been on 2 cruises. 1 to ensenada and cabo san lucas and the other recently to catalina island and ensenada. and it looks like im going to catalina island again on the 4th of july

[FPVsean]

cant beet royal carribean cruises.... theres no arrguement.. theyre just too great

[yo1mab20]

Freedom will keep the title of the largest passenger ships ever built until construction of the Oasis Class ships in 2009, QM2 is the largest ocean liner.

[gordo9405]

Well um this video is old because that Queen Mary 2 is the biggest in the world. The freedom of the seas was the biggest cruise ship in the world in 2001 when it was made but the Queen Mary 2 has been the largest ocean liner since 2004 and the ship is still the largest!

[lala14293]

no its not. the qm2 is longer but i guess in terms of space the freedom is bigger. idk its just my guess

[polkm714]

nah. the queen mary 2 isnt a cruise ship its an ocean liner. Its the worlds largest passenger ship. Its like a little bit bigger than this one but the freedom is a cruise ship so its its own class

[lala14293]

oh i thought since they were both large passenger ships they were under the same cattegory.

[polkm714]

lol.

nope. its kind of complicated

[lala14293]

haha yea. i am into ships ALOT. and i know a cruise ship and ocean liner are two different things, but yea the way they categorize size is very confusing lolz

[polkm714]

same.

:P

i recently crossed the atlantic on the queen mary 2 (sorry to spam) but yeah check out my videos and what not from it! :D

[lala14293]

you obviously arent updated this ship was built in like 2006.

[zxcviilll]

I thought the Nickelodeon cruise ship was the largest in the world.

[ryan22359]

they will use natural gas.

[xxpopbottlezxx]

i went on that shipp .. it was soooo much fun .... i got lost a few times buts okk lol .. it was totaly awesomeee

[bgjon87]

I wonder what they'll do when fossil fuels are no more

[Scraghunter]

So you want to tell me how formerly empty wells in Texas started producing again?

Al Gore is a liar.

[drums4mat]

when i went on the navigator of the seas, yeah that was the biggest then, but now this fucker is huge... lol

god i missed that ship.. god bless royal carabian international. :) god vid btw

[uradicksucker]

ive been on that last year!

[SixFoHopper]

I know one of the engineers on that boat and he reckons that they have had to add another 40 phillipino's to the existing 400 who are used to power it by cycling like fuck on the spin bikes in the engine room to get it going out of port as its too slow at the moment......

[MasterLuigi34]

titanic was bigger than that ship

[sbazzle]

I'm not quite sure where you got your information or maybe even where you learned basic math, but nearly every major cruise ship on the open waters today is bigger than Titanic. Titanic was only 882 feet long and 46,000 gross tonnes. Freedom of the Seas is 1,112 feet long and 154,000 gross tons.  We call that bigger by today's standards.

[TonyFirelli]

i think so too

[Tundraboy05]

freedom you whore

queen mary will own you someday!

[freeride140]

i was on this ship when it visited new port harbor.

[dragonrider7114]

really so was i

[khael14]

folks, queen mary 2 has been beated by weight, queen mary 2 has the tonnage of 148, 000 and the freedom of the seas have 154,000. BUT, she holds still the record of her width, lengeth and breadth unsurpassed.

[MisterScania]

Wait until Royal Caribbean launch the new one next year, which makes even this one of their's look like a little toy

[aldo769]

now carnival freedom is

[WillBackbone]

Nope The Carnival Freedom is only 110,000 Gross Tonnage (GT) The Royal has 3 ships(Freedom, Independence, Liberty) that are 158,000 GT at 1112 feet long, while the Queen Mary 2 is 150,000 while longer 1132 feet long its not bigger GT than the 3 Royal ships. The QM2 is cool though as its a real ship when compared to the floating more flat bottom traditional cruise ships these days the QM2 can go up to 30 knots and is a safer ship in open water due to its design.Bigger ships are NOT better at all.

[titanicguy1912]

the QUEEN MARY 2 was the biggest untill FREEDOM came along.

[tiarauscher]

Nope freedome came after it so... SINK QUEEN MARY 2!!!!

[titanicguy1912]

no Queen Mary 2 Was launched in 2004 Freedom in 2007 and what do you mean Sink QUEEN MARY 2!!!!?

[titanicguy1912]

nevermind i thought you said freedom came before. srry :)

[Victoria3496]

This ship is amazing! Definitely check it out.

[Brynrjones]

Sooner go back on the Ocean Village, wouldnt like to queue for bus trips from this ship would take hours to get off.

[17Akuta17]

i have seen that ship!=D

[Gado3691]

dont tell me another sinking Titanic?

[3barbieex]

dickhed

[Honkeybrat]

It hurts your legs to walk around on these things. They need small roads with cars that you can rent to get around.

[IggyVannzan]

Lol good idea...you get the money and Ill work on a design....rofl..

[ShinWR1]

don't some already have them Segway by now?

[STRANGEJAMES85]

How much were the tickets for that?

[4everRossi]

the battle for largest ship is bigger then for highest skyscraper

[kybermato]

It is made in Finland :D

[Underdog263]

The Princess Kaguya is going to be a Gargantuan ship will be bigger than the huge Genesis Class ships Use the Google & Youtube search engine for more information. GENESIS Class Price Tag: $1.2 billion Completion Date: 2009 Total Length: approx.1180 feet 220,000-ton Genesis, Passengers: 6,400 Cruise Ship Princess Kaguya Price Tag: ----- Completion Date: 2011-2012 Total Length: approx. 1968.48 feet 370,000-ton Princess Kaguya, Passengers: 8,400

[Mattsana]

Where does it say it is being launched the date you mentioned? As far as it seems it is only a project. Or even just an idea. To be honest. I think that idea will burst.

[Reozren]

This ship will sink one day... just like the Titanic ..

Big ships = SINKS !

[AlexDeLarge90]

you must be joking

if you are you are NOT funny

[Mattsana]

Well.. Majesty of The Seas is bigger than RMS Titanic and haven't sunk yet.

[conkeresyn]

I've been on the cruiseship just like the freedom, just smaller. It was docked next to the freedom and tbh the freedom didn't look much bigger then mine. It was just longer and more rooms on the ship.

I might be going on one of the Genesis class ships when they come out.

[utubegeneration]

that ship needs a Roller Coaster and Log Cabin ride. Plus needs a Venice Canal Gondola Ride. Why create Central Park without any canoes, the Genesis ship needs a meandering river with boats and canoes.

[HewieOfHG]

the ships are getting to big they should exstend out and not up one day they are going to buid a ship that is so tall that it will not beabal to move look at the ships that the romans built they where so well buit unlike what we have today he had stone and granet building on it and what do you know the ship was maied of wood thats way ships are sinking they are to tall and the granet and stone building where heveaer then the ships we have today so if we just think we can build better ships

[pierce284]

it's not so big.....the smallest county is bigger than it...wait it's a boat holy shit

[Erkele]

Made in Finland.

[dancinballa23]

i realy hoped that they would stop after the titanic happened besides thaat where most of the gas goes thats why prices are goin up

[pierce284]

DUMBASS dancinballa23 are you that fucking stpuid?

[dancinballa23]

know its just isnt that enough is humanity realy want to speed up there death than go ahead thats all im sayin

[stevewoodley64]

How much would that set you back do you think, I would love to see the bill for a ship that big!

[amishrockstar]

I think it cost roughly $800M.

[stevewoodley64]

lol pocket change ok then you spent ya $800M now you need gas lol sod standing at the pump filling that thing up

[Plat93]

Wtf only 3 1/2 Thousand people... Thats just like two of my schools. for a ship that fucking big . I'd think like. 20 000 people +++

[9319396626]

is it bigger than queen mary 2?

[Ollie930]

Im going on the other freedom ship its twin sister independance of the seas

[rubenmartins82]

is that biger then TITANIC??

[BibcottUnitas]

Much much larger than Titanic yes, use google and look them both up, there is even a comparison chart somewhere

[WASPTexas]

why does MORONS always believe Titanic was the biggest ship ever made???

[mtb416]

So they say a Project Genesis type boat will cost Royal Caribbean around $1.3 billion dollars to produce. Thats not too bad in my opinion. If I were Bill Gates or perhaps an Exxon-Mobil Executive, I would promptly buy a cruise ship and make it my home. I could obviously cruise anywhere in the world, but I would also probably hold the world records for largest & most expensive house.

[bathwater1994]

here here!

[whateverwillbewillbe]

project genesis will be even bigger and made in finland

[vishminator]

southampton! i live there

[marksixtyone]

We were on it. Too big,too many people,Probably the smallest cabins

[haiwanenn]

that ship and the other ship what they are making are both made in Finland

[123seblav]

Fredum of the seas right.

[JonasLyne]

im goin on that in 2009 cant wait its gonna be clazz:)

[slippp40]

i saw that when i was in Ft Lauderdale

[ghett0fabu1as]

too bad there are ships half that size that will take seas twice as rough.... those things are dangerous! only great part about cruise ships on the whole is the fact that they do always put safety first, and rely on instruments instead of hull integrity to achieve that level of safety

[Luv0rSin]

ahh lets go sailing people .. whos w/ me???

[choppergage]

i wanna ride this so bad!!!!

[Donz5885]

Wait for longer, Genesis class will twice be larger than Freedom class and it is own by Royal Caribbean International.

[Cianothekid]

i sooooo want to go on genisus!!!

liberty was cool

im goin on freedom this year!!

[Fish880]

Genesis are going to make these look mid-sized

[tweeling2000]

we'll be in there in april for an 8 days cruise from miami to the west caribbean!!!!!!!

[jjl1800]

These big ships have GOT to be giving Bin Laden a w**dy. Probably holding off until the Genesis is launched though. With a capacity of (I think) 6,400 passengers...well...you get the idea. The world's foremost security teams, etc, are supposedly doing all they can to prevent it but an attack still seems inevitable. Sadly, compared to the WTC attack, it would be twice the bang for less than half the buck.

[ghett0fabu1as]

a couple well placed explosives would drop any cruise ship. so too would a 747 with fuel. i agree, these sorts of feats of engineering are too tempting to the wrong sorts of people for something bad not to happen. think about the message you send if you can sink the worlds largest passenger ship... soccer moms would be pulling kids from school in minutes

[surfingthehighseas]

I don't want to start up a whole fight or whatever, but if you haven't been through security to get onto the largest cruise ship...then I wouldn't be talking. I've been on that ship and I will say this...it is nearly impossible for someone to bring an explosive aboard, they pat you down and you have to go through about 15 different security checks. That's how high security is!

[ghett0fabu1as]

agreed... i doubt anyones gonna get a bomb on board the biggest cruise ship in the world. however, an attack on a cruise ship by pirates (yes, they still exist) has happened before. a couple large center consoles filled with men armed with assault rifles and black market rocket propelled grenades ambushed a cruse ship a few years back. the rpgs they fired were all duds, but holed the hull regardless. if the men had disabled the engines or made her list they could have boarded and killed 100's

[smooogs]

Its English and we invented the language!!!!

[shelbijack]

They're too big, and too many people, I thought going on a Cruise was to get away from the large crowds...I like your video it is nice...

[lala14293]

qm2 is the largest ocean liner not cruise ship. still i favor the qm2 more than the freedom. Qm2 is still the largest ship in the worls built exclusivly for transatlantic travel

[SaunaFinland]

QM is longer...not bigger in volume...

[Riku1135]

QM2 is still linger than that

[BigBlueMonk3y]

im going on that in 3 days!!

[alsy0107]

i will go there in the future cuz it will be cheaper.

[alsy0107]

i wish i can go on that cruise. i'd been on soverign of the sea before. it was awesome. it was to the bahamas.

[PopPrincess21x]

its huge!

[wattshappen]

i went on the cruise

[wattshappen]

i went on this cruise it is huge i just got back last week i recomend you go on this cruise
