Inside One Of The MOST EXPENSIVE Cruise Ships In The World

It takes a staff of 2,400 people working day and night to keep Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas sailing. From tiny cruise-ship kitchens, chefs whip up 30,000 meals a day. All waste onboard is dealt with in secret, crew-only areas of the ship. And the engine room and captain’s bridge work together to power and move the floating city. We go below deck on one of the world’s largest cruise ships.

The Most MYSTERIOUS Sea On The Planet

[mosaicowlstudios]

As a land-based creature, I will never understand how another land-based creature can be comfortable, anxiety-free, or able to truly rest easy on a floating vessel without any solid ground for dozens, if not hundreds of miles.

It still amazes me how something so massive can float. Same with massive planes flying. Great video!

I'm a cruiser and have taken many. I just recently done Encore ( Norwegien) . i went solo. My first solo, i just wanted to try it out. I loved the solo cabin. The ship had over 4'000 people, way more than i was use to. It was not enjoyable. They nickeled and dimed you for everything. The morning of the last day was a pain and took forever, so many people waiting to get off the ship, not good. My best cruise experinces would have to be Princess from out of San Francisco. Smaller ships and less people to me are by far much enjoyable. You pay all that money why not enjoy : less people, chaos, quality of food, able to move around, can go freestyle wben it comes to dinning, can go to any show and it's enough sitting for everyone, you are not nickle and dimed. This ship is just much. I love people and getting to know the crew, that means alot to me. I'm 65 and i love being at sea and dressing up ( Captain's night). God bless you all.

That is the most horrifying idea of a “vacation.”

I went on a cruise on Harmony of the Sea in October. I loved everything about the trip. Nothing negative. Anxiously awaiting my next cruise. . The crew were outstanding. The food absolutely the best. Love, Love, Love. And I an older lady of 76.

Mind blowing what it takes to facilitate these cruises BUT ....
I'm with you...last comment. The thought of being trapped on a ship with 6 thousand people, is NOT my idea of relaxing 😳 Give me a cabin in the woods 😌

Way too large for me. In 2022 we took at Viking cruise from Sweden around the Baltic to Denmark, Poland, Germany and Norway. The ship had seven hundred passengers on it, not seven thousand! And once you sail on Viking you can't go back.... no kids, no casinos, no fees to eat in special restaurants, no art shows, no roaring tunes by the pool, it was lovely.

Convinced me to never be in a port when this ship is there.

I've been on Symphony of the Seas as well as the new Wonder of The Seas, Oasis of the Seas and Spectrum of the Seas. The Oasis class ships are just amazing. I have never felt overwhelmed except during high-lunch times if going to buffets. I don't use the pools, instead I just spend my time relaxing by drinking, walking, seeing shows and taking my time. There are plenty of areas to find solace, the ships are so huge you don't realize there are thousands (except during launch/end day). I enjoy city life, so these ships bring that level of familiarity on my trips. Don't get me wrong, you wont get the same level of personal service as you do on a smaller ship or a luxury cruise, but if you want to experience what it might be like going on a intergalactic cruise of the future, these ships are it!

Excellent story, high information density, every second interesting. I imagine the worst part of a cruise is 10, 000 people disembarking in a tiny Caribbean port. Maybe better to just stay onboard.

[rfnsovc]

What a logistics nightmare. Absolutely amazing.. 9, 000 people on a ship? NO THANKS!.

[umargiade]

I can only imagine the amount of leftovers and food wastage from this ship and what it can do to the millions of children dying of hunger all across the world.

[jemsjemski]

Looks like a container ship for people!

[jamesraymond]

This is straight out of H.G. Wells's Time Machine, in which there are two classes of people. "The Eloi live a banal life of ease on the surface while the Morlocks live underground, tending machinery and providing food, clothing, and inventory for the Eloi."

[Tbgocat]

An amazing ship!! Cruised on her September '23 out of Barcelona. She is "All That!"

[marconius]

having fun on a floating petri dish .. never in my life..

[toreoft]

Looks like Hell. I would not enter such a monster even if I got paid.

[cyberherbalist]

I've cruised a few times, and I still found this video amazing! I gather that the original video was narrated in Russian, and you've done an excellent job in overdubbing it in English.

[chrisgray]

Hell on Earth! How anyone can enjoy being surrounded by 8000 people on a floating shopping mall is beyond me.
