Royal Caribbean’s new boat is big. Really big. The “Project Genesis” cruise liner, currently being constructed, will be 43% larger than the Queen Mary II, currently the world’s largest ship. 360 metres long and weighing 220,000 tons, it’ll be able to carry more people from New Jersey down to the Caribbean than any ship before it.
5,400 people, to be exact. The ship is so large that it has a “Central Park” the size of a football field in the middle, its own gigantic amphitheatre, and seven different “neighborhoods” that people will stay on. This thing is larger than an aircraft carrier, people. It’s f’ing huge.
It’s due to launch next year, and in 2010 a second ship of the same size will be unleashed as well. I will be staying far away from both of them. [Official Site via Boing Boing Gadgets]

Are zip lines and “parks” somehow attractive to these mindless amerikan tourists?
Shit does float.
Tourist barges floundering from port to port, discorging their bovine passengers in search of a Burger King in Aruba.

Friday, March 19, 2010 at 11:19 PMProject Genesis…project globalization. Project imperialism. Project exploitation. This massive tourist barge is registered where?? The united states of greed? Unlikely, since that would require royal caribbean to pay taxes on that huge pile of flotsam.
What does this massive tourist barge do for the ports to which it “visits”? Who’s gettin rich? Who is suffering from the bombardment of mindless tourists looking for their very own “going native” experience? Viewing the world from the deck of the Scourge of the Seas seems to be a popular point of reference these days…
SUCK IT!
