another one of those dudes trying to sail around the world?

BadNick · 11-02-2009, 01:40 PM

nope, nothing like that.

But it is a special ship of high enough significance that I felt it was an appropriate choice for this game. Try to specifically guess what I am and that will nail down where I am.

a nuclear submarine doing a "round-the-world" underwater?

(pronounced 'nuculer' for you republicans out there...)

BadNick · 11-02-2009, 09:04 PM

nope, this is a civilian surface vessel of significance and has been in the news for the last few days.

Oasis of the Seas?

uncle phil · 11-03-2009, 03:29 AM

uss new york?

BadNick · 11-03-2009, 08:13 AM

Tul swoops in for the find....you got it, bud. You're up next.

The Oasis of the Seas is now the largest passenger cruise ship in the world. It was launched a few days ago, so when I started my round it was in the Baltic Sea and most recent position is just about exiting the English Channel heading out into the Atlantic.

Here's the ship's site with cool pics, videos, and facts Oasis Of The Seas

This is a cool site that does live tracking of ships, and this is the page for the Oasis of the Seas Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions 1:22:45 AM

The Oasis of the Seas is a new cruise ship that is now the world's largest passenger vessel. For a sense of the scale, the ship is approximately 5 times the size of the Titanic in terms of registered tonnage.

The ship was completed and turned over to Royal Caribbean on 28 October 2009. Two days later, she departed Finland for the United States. While exiting the Baltic Sea, the vessel passed underneath the Great Belt Fixed Link in Denmark on 1 November 2009. The bridge has a clearance of 65 metres (213 ft) above the water; Oasis normally has an air draft of 72 metres (236 ft). The passage under the bridge was possible due to retraction of the telescoping funnels, and an additional 30 centimetres (12 in) was gained by the squat effect whereby vessels travelling at speed in a shallow channel will be drawn deeper into the water. Approaching the bridge at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph), the ship passed under it with less than 2 feet (0.61 m) of clearance. Oasis stopped briefly in the Solent to disembark 300 shipyard workers, on the way to her intended home port of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The ship is expected to arrive in Florida November 11, where tropical plants will be installed prior to her debut.

Amenities
Oasis of the Seas will offer passengers features such as two-story loft suites and luxury suites measuring 1,600 sq ft (150 m2) with balconies overlooking the sea or promenades. The ship features a zip-line, a casino, a mini-golf course, four swimming pools, volleyball and basketball courts, theme parks and nurseries for children.
