SteveinSC 127 Report post Posted October 17 Alright, fellow obsessed cruisers. I'm looking for some content to binge. What are some documentaries featuring RC (or other) cruise ships that I can watch, and what app/service are they on? Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twangster 17,101 Report post Posted October 17 Amazon has many videos online, a few covered by Prime, most are a small charge. Go to the Prime Video area and search for "Cruise Ship". There is an episode of National Geographic's Worlds Toughest Fixes where they cut open the hull and insert a new power plant into Radiance. They use the same dry dock in Freeport during this older video that buckled and caused the crane to fall onto Oasis this year. Fascinating stuff. Season one, episode five best $3 I've spent in a while. 1 SteveinSC reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mighty Ships cable program, I believe a National Geographic channel, has numerous cruise ship videos. 1 SteveinSC reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmdrfrag 148 Report post Posted October 18 Theres a series on Discovery (UK Discovery anyway) called Mega Cruise ships, its been really good, all different Cruise lines and itineraries As @Ray mentioned Cruising with Jane McDonald is good too and also covered River Cruises if you're interested in those too Last one I can think of is a series just called The Cruise which follows the life on board Majestic Princess. Think they've done 3 seasons of that across her different itineraries Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 636 Report post Posted October 18 There was a show on UK TV recently about the worlds most expensive cruiseship, the Seven Seas Explorer from Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The Top suite was massive and had it's OWN bar in it! You wanted a drink you called staff to come pour you one! also had a piano and yes if you wanted music you called someone to come play it. the show was called " secrets of the worlds most expensive cruiseship" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
