What boat is this?

[SeaDave]

No photo though sadly....but it's from this description:

It looked to be around the same size as the Royal Caribbean massive liners but the thing that was odd were these tubes at the back.

I'll try and describe them a bit more clearly - You've got the idea of the cabin area stopping about two thirds back (except this one looked less futuristic and more 'normal' if you see what I mean) and then a blue horizontal tube sprouted from each side of the cabin area and fed back to the stern where they joined each other and went down into the hull and looked a bit like a giant water flume.

I'm guessing this housed some sort of activity or another but no idea what.

Other than this, it was a big but pretty normal looking ship...



Help out a friend please. Cheers

It was almost certainly one of Royal Caribbean's Freedom Class ships (Freedom OTS, Liberty OTS and Independance OTS).

The thing you describe is the FlowRider at the back of the ship. It is one big artificial wave upon which you can surf, or use ring donuts etc etc. Quite a new innovation and pretty cool too.

Dunno, but if you google image "cruise ship water slide" you see lots of them, including blue ones, like this

It seems not.

He's gone to effort of drawing it now to try and help:

OK YER WE GO!

Bloody big seagull, or was it close to the "artiste"?

 

[Richard Shead]

Well Madam Tousards did scrap the planetarium and it looks like they placed it on top of your fine vessel

 

[SeaDave]

Ah, I haven't managed to convince you it's not true then?

If I were to try and wind you up the boat would probably look a little more sexual than this. It'd probably have a dozen or so breasts.

 

[Richard Shead]

I'm loving it!

I do believe you honestly the picture did it for me, cheered my afternoon up no end!

ps I could understand if it was a BIsexual boat then surely that would be a catamarran.

I'm not sure - one with a deep V maybe? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

All I meant was that if I was going to pretend to draw a boat - it'd be pretty wild whereas the picture posted is quite tame IMO.

You should get TCM to draw a boat
