How Do You Build One Of The Biggest Cruise Liners In History?
The Meraviglia is a state-of-the-art cruise ship, and is a whopping 315 meters long, 65 meters high, and weighs in at 80,000 tons. Constructed from 300,000 pieces of steel, it required advanced simulation calculations, an army of engineers, 16 million hours of manpower and Europe's most powerful gantry crane capable of lifting 1,200 tons.

My sister and brother in law were just on this ship for a cruise and they both said that she was very beautiful and comfortable.
In a high sea state the ship can not control the up and down motion in a head on sea. So if your prone to sea sickness get a cabin in the middle of the ship and the further down into the ship itself. That way your on the center of the tetter totter effect.
We know that it is imperative to protect the environment, yet these giant cruise ships are built in record numbers. It clearly shows that money and greed have no regard for the future of our planet.
Kinda misleading since it is not really that big considering Royal Caribbean has ships over 3 times as big. In fact the Meraviglia is way down on the list at 22nd. And the others are much, much larger making this ship in fact medium in size. The largest MSC ship is much larger than the Meraviglia and is the MSC World Europa at 215,863 GWT and even this large MSC ship is only 8th in the world. So the Meraviglia was never the largest ship in the world not even close as the Royal Caribbean had already fielded larger ships as well as other larger hulls also under construction at the same time. So do some research and not embarrass yourself and make a fool of your channel.
