They could just use hydrogen if the cruise ship had a fuel cell. The only bi-product is water. Perfect for the ocean.

Honestly, Royal Caribbean is absolutely blowing it out of the park with their vessels, and the Icon of The Seas is definitely intriguing. However, I gotta say, the water park is a little bit too much for my taste 😂

It's hardly being on vacation, being stuffed with around 10, 000 people. Not for me.

Like taking a holiday at a motorway service station on a bank holiday

Pretty misleading talk about the fuel cells and batteries. I suppose, the ship won't work a decent time on battery power alone. And what's the power output of the fuel cell system? 1% of the diesel generators? 10%? However, they seem to have made some effort to reduce the environmental impact of this ship. Of course, nobody really NEEDS cruise ships, as well as nobody really NEEDS vacation at remote destinations (flights for vacation). But it could be much worse.

Yep. And there will be no such thing as restoring an antique classic.
