A 15,000 lb. Gold Propeller

Why???

I'm going to need a lot of people to explain to me why this was a good choice.

I am all for public displays of art and grateful for those people and institutions that have the inspiration and money to do it. But RCL management could have made a better choice because this is going to haunt them.

But it spins...

Why will it haunt them?  

PS - it isn't real gold.

Maybe they could have put it on a stick. . .

Just because I wanted to look it up, if it were solid gold then it would be worth (as of today, March 2nd) $310 million dollars.  That would be $60 million more than the cost of the entire terminal.

Now, who wants to script the heist film?  If we make it a sequel to "Like Father" we can probably get a good chunk of the budget from Royal.

I am feeling it.  They sneak the gold propellor onto Oasis and when it sails to NYC they slip it off.  Movie worthy.

Well, I hate to admit this, but I've been really looking forward to seeing terminal A and getting my own pictures of those propellers. I think they look very cool and are symbolic of getting ready to sail away on our cruise. Who knew I was so sensitive?

What is there to explain?? A ship company displays propellers as art work - seems pretty logical to me!

Why not? It's art and a great way to make their cruise terminal stand out as not just a glorified warehouse.
