I saw a Norwegian Joy in Cozumel, Mexico when I had my assignment on Regent Seven Seas Explorer. It's such a giant cruiseship. Our ship looks so tiny and small in front of Joy. Great work by engineers and rest of the team to build huge cruiseships and Container ships.

To those wondering about the location of Meyer Werft: According to the company profile, the founder Willm Rolf Meyer started the business in 1795 (!) with building small wooden sailing vessels, and the river Ems was obviously more than big enough for this class of ships. The dockyards have since grown, and the Ems widened and deepened. I assume it is still financially viable to keep producing in Papenburg instead of moving shop to somewhere closer to the North Sea.

It's claimed Norwegian Joy is the biggest ship built at Papenburg, the Quantum-class ship built for Royal Caribbean were in excess of 348 mtres

This is and still is Royal Caribbean most beautiful ship she can cruise or run as an Ocean Liner. She had a beautiful air stream deep hull. Back then the Sovereign, Monarch, & more were built the same hull. My parents sailed on the Sovereign three different times one time my Dad said they got into Atlantic tropical storm with 80 mile gusting winds and they and Captain took her slow and easy and the Sovereign made example

Thats one hell of a drydock to. Also record breaking

Closest I have ever come to a cruise ship was on the dock in St Johns Antigua. We were staying at Blue Waters one New Year when I heard a ship was due in, so I wandered down in scruff order 30 mins to town to take a look. There was a stage with a sound system so I bought a beer and sat talking to some locals listening to reggae till the passengers stared coming off, blubbery, pink baubly people dressed up for God knows what. Suddenly there were no locals in the square, they had all rushed over to the long line of passengers ready to fleece them for tours of St Johns etc ! Land of opportunity on a small island.

I think they said that when it was built it was the 4th largest cruise ship in the world. Now it's the 30th largest. In only 7 years they have gotten bigger & bigger. Royal Caribbean ships are so huge now you might as well just go to a mall or an amusement park.

That cruise ship, 4000 passengers, at least half that number of crew, the Titanic had 2200. It could have sat amongst the life boats.

strange location for a shipyard

I was very surprised the damaged bridge had not been fixed by then. They need to upgrade all the narrow passageways, or go out of business. The future = larger ships.

21.60 Joseph Fritzl escaped from prison and has now been found working at a sluice gate near Emden.

It is in this shipyard that PT PELNI INDONESIA PERSERO's ship is designed and built, unfortunately at this time PT PELNI has not ordered a new ship yet🙏🙏🙏🙏

Going to live in the Asian Pacific, I wonder how the decision where in the world the ship goes is made. 🤔

When I was in the Navy, we did a port visit to Portsmouth England. I had a few pints with the 3rd officer of the cruise ship that was there. (It's been.overn 30 years and I can't remember the ships name). He said the Captain, 1st officer, chief engineer and engineers assitant are picked even before they lay the keep. So I'm sure that worrying about the slide hitting something And everything else has been planned out to the centimeter.

And we couldn't put together the slider after the vessel has cleared the bridges...just like to test those m6ltimill7on dollar navegation gadgets!😆

i think you got the answers... what they will do next, because there is a limit how big and tall and large and wide and deep they can build, they bill do the maximum there. and the rest will be floated down on barges and finished at their - new- shipyard. since there are about 3000 workers there and most probably double or three times that amount of people, small shops,or families depending on them, the yard has a more then big influence on local politics. that does not mean they can do anything they want, to the contrary the yard is very aware what can be done or not. but simple closing down and go somewhere else, is just no option. on the other hand, with NORO Virus, Corona Virus, and other - nasties - around, there is also a limit how big the ships will be in future. and who wants to be with 10 000 - Lemmings - on a ship? on top of it, by the time your cruise is over, you might not have seen and explored and used half what they have to offer...

Why on earth build a boat to such tight constraints when ten centimetres shallower and narrower would have made the journey out easier and quicker? Yes, you would lose a small percentage of space onboard, but I have a suspicion you could have accommodated the same number of passengers - are they really going to notice that the rooms are a centimetre narrower each? (You'd even save money on the weight saved in fuel costs) I could be wrong, but I have to ask whether this whole idea of building ships and planes to their absolute limit in size is really worth it? (It's not like the people buying cruise tickets will be impressed by cabin space that is a little bit larger than cabin space that's already huge)
