This is a regurgitation of some old data, this came up 4-5 years ago and it was going to be called the World Ship. The article specifically mentions going in to a port, but that ship could never actually "Port" to large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Love the airport on top. Although that does mean no access to the top deck to lounge in the sun. How convenient though. Having said that I doubt any commercial airline would sell flights not knowing if the ship would actually be in a certain city on any given day and how do they refuel? Not to mention the FAA or respective organizations approving flight operations on a moving platform that would interfere with stationary airspace at times. Cool idea though.

mook1525 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I can see cruise ships getting bigger than Oasis class. however, it looks like Oasis class will be the largest ships for foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure they will get much bigger. There are already few ports that can handle them. Also Royal is going smaller with there next class (icon).

twangster Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 MSC has talked about getting to 206,000 GT. Still "smaller" than Oasis but they are aiming for 6,850 max. guests so they can claim largest in terms of passenger count. tiny260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an artist rendering of this class MSC is talking about, it looked very similar to a Oasis class ship especially the aft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why Royal is my preferred cruise line, they seem to have much more public space than other lines. lovecruising!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the FAA or respective organizations approving flight operations on a moving platform that would interfere with stationary airspace at times. Cool idea though. The demand for former Navy pilots just increased dramatically; who else would be qualified to land a turboprop in the 38-40 passenger range on the top of a pitchy cruise ship? And given the expertise of this pilot cohort, refueling can simply be done in flight. The qualifications needed are described here: https://www.thebalancecareers.com/air-force-enlisted-job-descriptions-3344241 Want to enlist? twangster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking up stats on Norwegian Encore (we’re on one of the first sailings in December) and it has a passenger to space ratio of 34.2, and “only” holds 4K people. Harmony, which holds 6k has more space per person at 35.9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
