Recently, the world's largest cruise ship "Ocean Mark" has brushed the external network, which has triggered heated discussions among netizens.
At 365 meters long and weighing 250,000 tons, the Ocean Marker, which will make its maiden voyage in January next year, is five times larger than the Titanic and can accommodate 5,600 passengers and 2,300 crew members at the same time.
However, in the face of this behemoth that has set a record for human shipbuilding, netizens are a little afraid and worried.
"The best craftsmanship", "The largest and most luxurious cruise ship of mankind", "Sensational maiden voyage"... These familiar-sounding keywords are put there, and it's hard not to think of the "Titanic" a hundred years ago.
In addition, last month there was the big news that caused a sensation around the world - the implosion of the submarine "Titan" that explored the ruins of the Titanic, and the billionaires died at the bottom of the sea.
At this juncture, hearing the elements related to the "Titanic", it is inevitable that some bad associations will emerge.
Therefore, as soon as the new news of the "Ocean Mark" was exposed, foreign netizens immediately began to complain wildly:
I don't know why, looking at this ship, I always feel a sense of foreboding...
But really speaking, long before netizens associated it with the "Titanic", the "Ocean Mark" was already famous.
Before the "Ocean Mark", the name of the world's largest cruise ship belonged to "Wonders of the Sea", and the "Ocean Mark" belonged to Royal Caribbean Cruises.
Former "World's Largest Cruise Ship" "Wonders of the Seas"
Taking over the crown of "largest cruise ship", the "Ocean Marker" announced its construction in 2016, and every step of the construction process was a big battle, and many media also reported on the grandeur of the construction that year.
The official even produced several episodes of documentaries, introducing the manufacturing process and luxury equipment of cruise ships, calling them "world-class cruise ships that redefine the industry".
By last month, the Ocean Mark officially underwent its first sea trials, sailing hundreds of kilometers to test engines, hulls, braking systems, steering, noise and vibration levels, etc., to determine whether the cruise ship could meet the sailing conditions.
With the news of the successful sea trials, the largest cruise ship began to frequently brush its face in major media to show other configurations other than its sailing capabilities.
With 20 decks, 8 themed communities, 7 swimming pools, 6 sets of water slides, the "Ocean Mark" is the ultimate in several standard features of the cruise.
Official publicity mentions a number of "best designs," such as the highest waterfall in the cruise world, the largest water park and the first-ever suspended infinity pool.
Among the six water slides on the Ocean Identification are the industry's first open free-fall slide, the first family raft slide on a cruise ship, and the highest drop slide at sea... The main thrill.
In addition, the cruise ship is equipped with the largest sea pool called "Royal Bay Pool", a comprehensive entertainment hall called "Firmament Realm", a gorgeous ice arena, live diving performances attended by professionals, and a private restaurant that can accommodate 12 people at the same time...
If you have the ability to make money, you can also stay in the cruise's double-storey Royal Loft Suite and enjoy waking up in a 200-square-meter sea view house.
If you have itchy hands and can't help but "stud", there is also an entertainment hall equipped with more than 30 kinds of gaming tables and 370 slot machines, so that passengers can play in one place.
Some of the items that don't sound like they will be on a cruise ship, and the "Ocean Mark" is also equipped with quite a few.
Beach-themed carousels, playgrounds, miniature golf, parent-child communities where you can go shopping...
It's no wonder that many people feel that this doesn't feel like a cruise ship at all. The height of the 19-story building and the dazzling entertainment facilities are exactly like moving a commercial area from the city and putting it up.
Available in 28 room types, the cruise will sail for 7 days in the Eastern and Western Caribbean Seas and is priced from $1,800 to $11,000.
The gimmick of luxury facilities with "the largest cruise ship" has triggered a large number of netizens to complain after media reports.
The point that some netizens care about is that it is really too big and exaggerated, so that every time I see the dense photo of the "Ocean Mark", I inexplicably have a monster-like sense of fear.
"It's a living hell painting on water..."
"Of all the hell scenes, it is also the most hellish."
"I originally thought that the Ocean Mark was just a picture spread on the Internet, after all, there are always some weird giant cruise ship pictures going viral on the Internet.
But I checked, this huge weird cruise ship turned out to be real..."
In addition to the appearance, more people mentioned that the various elements of the "Ocean Mark" are stacked, and the visual sense of the Titanic is a bit heavy.
"It looks like a new Titanic movie will appear next year."
"I don't know why, I always feel that something bad will happen when I get on this ship."
"It feels like if we continue to discuss the ship, it will sink on its first voyage."
"When you board a cruise ship and you find an iceberg floating in the distance:"
"Am I the only one who thinks it will eventually break and split in half?"
Some netizens think that such a large cruise ship has many safety risks, and it is not good to experience too many tourists:
"So if there's an accident, do they have the ability to get 7,960 people to safety?" Think about how confusing it would be for so many people.
The whole looks like an overpriced amusement park, and it feels like a lot of things can go wrong. ”
"It's good, I wanted to spend money to escape the shackles and inhibitions of everyday life, and then I found myself vacationing in a floating city high-rise, lining up with 5,609 other people who thought the same way you did. It's awesome. ”
"There could be the largest norovirus outbreak ever."
"I've seen a lot of reports of infectious disease outbreaks on ships before, and giant cruise ships could eventually become giant bacterial incubators."
In addition, I think it is prudent for the maiden voyage to set off with only half the capacity and see if it can withstand it in all aspects.
And let's be honest, don't expect to enjoy the so-called 'peace at sea' in a floating big city. ”
Of course, many people say that there is no need to worry: compared with the shipbuilding technology of a hundred years ago, today's giant cruise ships are not the concept of the past.
"Why do people always act as if humans have sailed on a cruise ship for the first time since the Titanic..."
"I'm afraid you don't know that since the era of the Titanic, cruise lines have been very successful all over the world."
"The size of the Titanic is actually no bigger than most modern cruise ships, and modern cruise ships are significantly safer than they were a hundred years ago.
The reason why all reports mention the Titanic is just to attract clicks as a gimmick. ”
Netizens complained that the target group of cruise ships has long been ready to travel.
Operators say pre-sales of cruise trips have reached a record level, and the "Ocean Mark Tour" is their most popular product to date. Although it is still more than half a year before the official departure, the itinerary for January next year is already fully booked.
I don't know if foreign friends will make a variety of on-site evaluations and strange complaints at that time, I hope that this giant ship with the name of "the world's largest" can sail smoothly...
