On Discovery turbo, watched this a few times, just watching about a massive cruise ship called Oasis of the seas, what an amazing feat of engineering, they showed it berthed near another cruise ship & it was like putting giant haystacks (remember him) next to Warwick davies

There was a massive Virgin cruise ship in Portsmouth Harbour when we left……the equivalent o a 1970s tower block, what an ugly thing.

Oasis of the seas is 12 metres wider than most cruise ships & is reckoned to be more stable.

Stability is down to the position of the centre of gravity in relation to the metacentre. Very little, if anything, to do with her beam.

Did I say it was? I was stating two facts I didn’t say the two were related, so stick that in your beam & let gravity take it’s course.

I see the Virgin Cruise ship often docked in Portsmouth. It’s huge, towers over quite a lot of the landscape. 1st time I saw it as I was driving into the city I thought Portsmouth council had built a huge new apartment complex on the edge of the dockyard.

Your sentence indicated that the two correlate. Besides, Oasis of the Sea is old news, things have moved on.

No, the way you (mis)interpreted my sentence indicated to you that the two correlate, how do you function on a daily basis,

Even more impressive on board, but I still prefer the smaller Independence of the Seas.
