Add to them ice rink, volleyball and basketball courts, golf course, bowling room, climbing wall, fitness center, spa, endless pools and you get the largest cruise liner in the world - Allure of the seas.
The cruise liner is, in fact, somewhat independent of the enterprises. One team is engaged in navigating, the other hotel and accommodation, the third feeds daily thousands of people, the fourth suits and holds entertainment and so on. The vital activity of such a marine monster is very complex and interesting. I want to tell about this in today's post ...
It was my 15th or 16th cruise. I remember, even on big ships, I sometimes darkened me. There is no feeling that you are in the open sea. Mahina is so huge that no pitch is not felt. We walked into the six-box storm, the waves were 4.2 meters high. The ship was immobile, as if the Egyptian pyramid:
3. 
On each floor and in each lobby there are original schemes and pointers. All that is allocated white - hotel, purple zones - public:
4. 
Upper deck:
5. 
Public places are a lot. It is impossible to get around everything:
6. 
The liner is two parallel homes, interconnected by jumpers - in front and rear. Between them empty space with a green zone. On the roofs of "houses" pools and sun beds:
7. 
The pools are a lot, for every taste and color. There are adults, children, with slides, fountains, jacuzzi, etc.:

There are two "waves" on which you can ride on the sep. One for beginners, the other for more or less advanced:
13. 
14. 
On the upper deck there are "wings", which come from the liner housing to the sides. In the wings of 2 large jacuzzi. You are in warm water at an 18th floor altitude over the sea, and you look at the waves under you. Very cool:
15. 
Ship's nose. Several decks are given under public zones. The design of the canopies is such that the maximum protects against the wind, while maintaining the feeling of open space:
16. 
On the nose of the ship three pools:
17. 
18. 
Now let's see what is located between the "houses" of this liner. On the stern there is a carousel, bar, park, distance the cinema:
19. 
In the evening, the cinema is acting acrobats like a circus du Soleil. Very cool. I thought to go and make a couple of photos for the report, but I was able to open the mouth to the end of the show:
20. 
In the other side of Central Park - open space with trees and plants at 8 floors:
21. 
The green area is separated by a jumper into two sections:
22. 
Let's go down to the 8th floor:
23. 
Glass roofs are provided for a pleasure zone, which is located three floors below. There are streets, birds sing - the full feeling that you walk in the city:
24. 
In this zone are well-known international restaurants and shops. We will back to them back in the following post:
25. 
Feed ship. There are two walls for climbing. Mountaineering, Karl!
26. 
Bars in Central Park:
27. 
Cinema:
28. 
The deck at the level of the fifth floor goes to rescue boats. She goes throughout Lainee, and here withdraw people with freelance situations. So that the place does not disappear in vain, it is used as a treadmill. So often the passengers of large ships come, but only here they specifically stated tracks for running and sports walking. It is consistent even the direction in order not to face each other. Full range of 700 meters:
29. 
The ship's nose is engaged in the helicopter platform, passengers do not let go there. Planning the scene from the "Titanic" will not work:
30. 
Fifth floor under Central Park. Shops, bars with karaoke, even Starbax:
31. 
Rarity car to give the space of chic and luxury:
32. 
The fourth floor is casino and nightclubs. Gambling places are open only when the liner leaves the territorial water of a state or another. The port does not work:
33. 
Central Hall for Show and Concerts:
34. 
There is no excursion to the captain's bridge, but I was lucky to sail along with the group of Spanish journalists. Their visit was agreed and I managed to fit the company. The captain's bridge looks empty. A huge area, but the controls occupy only a small plot of the center:
35. 
The ship is controlled by a captain, but the first officer. He spent a tour. Officer name is Gennady. He is from Odessa. Our cotton.
The ship has no steering wheel. Three engine screws rotate 360 \u200b\u200bdegrees, they are set either manually using three rotates (in the foreground of the photo), or using a computer. The system monitors the course and infants:

There is also a control system too:

Hence, the side of the liner is perfectly visible and it allows you to "park" without incidents:

Royal Caribbean International instructed the Finnish shipbuilders to build a completely new class passenger linerswhich will be able to keep the palm of championship for many years. So there was a cruise liner "Oasis of the Seas", which was laid on the water as the largest passenger ship in the world on October 28, 2009. In addition, the liner won the first place in another nomination, as the most expensive ship on the planet. 1.24 billion dollars was spent on its construction, the average cost of staying in the port of such a vessel will cost the owners of $ 2,000,000.

The ship was built by the shipbuilding company "STX EUROPE" specifically on request "Royal Caribbean International", the construction of the "oasis of the seas" cost at £ 855 million. The length of the vessel - 361 meters, width - 66, and its the highest point Roses above the water surface by 72 meters. Displacement of liner - 225 thousand tons.

In the aggregate, its power plants generate a power of 96 MW, which allows the ship to develop speeds of up to 22.6 sea nodes. The new owners of the vessel were very surprised, having learned that on the "oasis" on four on-board cabins more than planned.
New safety methods and design of absolutely new features for cruises made "Oasis of the Seas" one of the most anticipated cruise liners in history. The vessel has so-called telescopic pipes that can decrease if you have to swim under the bridge. The world's largest cruise liner "Oasis Sea" had to partially disassemble so that he could pass under the Danish Bridge "Great Belte". But even after the height of the pipes was reduced, the distance between the vessel and the construction structure was less than half a meter. For security reasons, movement on the bridge was blocked for 15 minutes. Hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the river to look at a brightly lit cruise liner, which towers above the water like a 20-storey house.
Entertainment here mass, and for ordinary people, and for millionaires. The ship is equipped with a water amphitheater, a carousel (made "in full-size"), a floating fleet, an ice roller, a golf course, 4 swimming pools, for which a total of 2300 tons of water, volleyball and basketball courts, wall for climbing and a children's zone from thematic parks and children's scientific laboratories.

In total, 12 thousand plants were planted on the ship and 56 trees - this is the world's first park on a ship of 2000 square meters. M, which became a kind of analogue of the Central Park in New York. Therefore, its passengers can relax in the park in the shade of real trees, listen to Broadway musicals and see the ice show.
Open amphitheater for 750 places in the open air is located on the stern and is made according to an ancient Greek amphitheater. The closed theater, located in another part of the ship, is designed for 1300 guests. Two-week cruise on the wonderful ship "Oasis of the Seas" will cost a rather modest amount: from £ 1300 for a place in the cheapest cabin. The construction of his twin vessel called "Allure of the Seas" is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2010.
Passengers like to celebrate all the time, but if the "premium class" cruise, and almost all people are wealthy, then on board the liner should be about 20,000 bottles of champagne, more than 14,000 kg of meat products, 44,000 fresh eggs, 6600 kg of salad, 3000 kg of bow, 22000 kg potatoes and this is only a small part of the food stock.

About 70,000 main dishes are served daily on the ship, of which 15000 desserts.
For all entertainment during the cruise, the director of the cruise is responsible. The most difficult part of his work: everything is done so that guests remain satisfied. He plans entertainment, communicates with guests and supports their good mood. On board there is own film studio. Her staff remove the daily material on board the liner, and then after mounting broadcast to the cabins, as a rule, in the evening.

February 24, 2010. - ROYAL CARRIBEAN has realized that the idea of \u200b\u200btracking one person to others can like many, and turned out to be right, the novelty quickly became very popular
At the largest cruise liner in the world of Oasis of the seas, the company Royal Carribean offers a novelty of IT technologies, bracelets identifiers and iPhone mobile phones so that people can find each other in countless giant liner premises. Bracelets are personal RFID personal radio frequency identifiers, although it may be not only bracelets, but also badges or clips. WiFi acts throughout the ship, the signal from the bracelet through WiFi goes to the Apple iPhone mobile phone, equipped with a detailed liner scheme, that is, at any time one person can know exactly where the other is located.
On the vessel, almost 1000 places where you can go to WiFi, and at first the company just wanted to do so that people could communicate with each other through mobile phones and not only communicate, through ship iPhone you can get one or other information, order a service, etc. n., But then realized that the idea of \u200b\u200btracking one person to others can like many, and turned out to be right, the novelty quickly became very popular. It is easy to guess that parents became the main consumers of identifiers. The liner is incredibly huge, there are plenty of places where the child can be lost, and this can be a problem not only for parents, but also for the entire crew, the search for a lost person on the ship is a nominous and extremely difficult operation, the public Avral, and preferably at this time All other passengers drive into cabins or public premises.
First, the Oasis of the Seas as an identifier was offered a betray, but then went further, and now offer bracelets, which is much more convenient, as they can serve as a kind of pagers. If you serve a signal from the iPhone, the bracelet begins to vibrate, and its owner will understand what they are looking for it. If this is a child, then okay, but teenagers such an IT surveillance can hardly like it. The young man met a disco with a girl and retired with her in place darling and puzzling, good on a gigantic liner of such places with excess, and the damned bracelets will suddenly begin to vibrate, what is it? But what grace parents ...
The device runs on the basis of the location location system in real-time RTLS company Ekahau, the signal from the identifier is processed by the Defi Royal Connect program and is issued to the destination server, and from there already falls on the iPhone, location accuracy is 3-3.5 meters. Bracelets work from rechargeable batteries, for a weekly charging cruise enough with excess. After the cruise is completed, the bracelets are surrendered by the administration and are charged again. Reviews, they say in Royal Carribean, while very good, but how and where it is possible to use this novelty, in addition to the surveillance, they do not yet know the data. During cruises, the electronic spy users are polled, and hope that the collected information will allow you to expand the scope of application Wi-Fi RFID identifiers.

In one of the evenings, the captain liner gives him a dinner to guests. Cruise recreation participants adore official events. Each of them tries to bring home the memory of the sea travel. For this, several professional photographers work on board the vessel. About 30,000 photos will be made per cruise.
Charm of anyone cruise travel It is that in the ports where the liner stops, passengers are waiting for the mass of new sensations.
On the liner, everything is done for customers, but passengers always come across, which do badly behave and interfere with others. Such people ask to leave the ship in the nearest port. But the worst thing is when some passenger dies on board. Then the whole team has to console his close people. The body is placed in their own morgue.
