Imagine the Las Vegas Quarter, which sails from the city to the city. Imagine a ship at 7,500 people, of which 2500 are employees and staff. Add to them ice rink, volleyball and basketball courts, golf course, bowling room, climbing room, fitness center, spa, endless pools and you get the biggest a cruise ship In the world - Allure of the Seas..
The cruise liner is, in fact, somewhat independent of the enterprises. One team is engaged in navigating, the other hotel and accommodation, the third feeds daily thousands of people, the fourth suits and holds entertainment and so on. The vital activity of such a marine monster is very complex and interesting. I want to tell about this in today's post ...
It was my 15th or 16th cruise. I remember, even on big ships, I sometimes darkened me. There is no feeling that you are in the open sea. Mahina is so huge that no pitch is not felt. We walked into the six-box storm, the waves were 4.2 meters high. The ship was immobile, as if the Egyptian pyramid:
3. 
On each floor and in each lobby there are original schemes and pointers. All that is allocated white - hotel, purple zones - public:
4. 
Upper deck:
5. 
Public places are a lot. It is impossible to get around everything:
6. 
The liner is two parallel homes, interconnected by jumpers - in front and rear. Between them empty space with a green zone. On the roofs of "houses" pools and sun beds:
7. 
The pools are a lot, for every taste and color. There are adults, children, with slides, fountains, jacuzzi, etc.:
8. 
Mini golf:
9. 
Basketball and volleyball court:
10. 
There are several zones with tables for ping pong:
11. 
Zip Line - high-speed cable descent on one side of the ship to another:
12. 
There are two "waves" on which you can ride on the sep. One for beginners, the other for more or less advanced:
13. 
14. 
On the upper deck there are "wings", which come from the liner housing to the sides. In the wings of 2 large jacuzzi. You are in warm water at an 18th floor altitude over the sea, and you look at the waves under you. Very cool:
15. 
Ship's nose. Several decks are given under public zones. The design of the canopies is such that the maximum protects against the wind, while maintaining the feeling of open space:
16. 
On the nose of the ship three pools:
17. 
18. 
Now let's see what is located between the "houses" of this liner. On the stern there is a carousel, bar, park, distance the cinema:
19. 
In the evening, the cinema is acting acrobats like a circus du Soleil. Very cool. I thought to go and make a couple of photos for the report, but I was able to open the mouth to the end of the show:
20. 
In the other side of Central Park - open space with trees and plants at 8 floors:
21. 
Green Zone divided by a jumper into two sections:
22. 
Let's go down to the 8th floor:
23. 
Glass roofs are provided for a pleasure zone, which is located three floors below. There are streets, birds sing - the full feeling that you walk in the city:
24. 
In this zone are well-known international restaurants and shops. We will back to them back in the following post:
25. 
Feed ship. There are two walls for climbing. Mountaineering, Karl!
26. 
Bars in Central Park:
27. 
Cinema:
28. 
The deck at the level of the fifth floor goes to the rescue boats. She goes throughout Lainera, and here they bring people freelance situations. So that the place does not disappear in vain, it is used as a treadmill. So often passengers come large shipsBut only here specially stated tracks for running and sports walking. It is consistent even the direction in order not to face each other. Full range of 700 meters:
29. 
The ship's nose is engaged in the helicopter platform, passengers do not let go there. Planning the scene from the "Titanic" will not work:
30. 
Fifth floor under Central Park. Shops, bars with karaoke, even Starbax:
31. 
Rarity car to give the space of chic and luxury:
32. 
The fourth floor is casino and nightclubs. Gambling places are open only when the liner leaves the territorial water of a state or another. The port does not work:
33. 
Central Hall For show and concerts:
34. 
There is no excursion to the captain's bridge, but I was lucky to sail along with the group of Spanish journalists. Their visit was agreed and I managed to fit the company. The captain's bridge looks empty. A huge area, but the controls occupy only a small plot of the center:
35. 
The ship is controlled by a captain, but the first officer. He spent a tour. Officer name is Gennady. He is from Odessa. Our cotton.
The ship has no steering wheel. Three engine screws rotate 360 \u200b\u200bdegrees, they are set either manually using three rotates (in the foreground of the photo), or using a computer. The system monitors the course and infants:
36. 
37. 
38. 
39. 
40. 
The command headquarters is located near and can be corrected from the captain of the partition. All air management bodies are duplicated here:
41. 
When the ship mooring in the port, the officer uses exits on "wings" to the left and right:
42. 
There is also a control system too:
43. 
Hence, the side of the liner is perfectly visible and it allows you to "park" without incidents:
44. 
In the next post, I will tell you what on the ship there are restaurants, shows and entertainment. Let's look closer. Stay Tuned!

Imagine that you go to a free cruise on the largest liner in the world. Inside the whole metropolis of entertainment and services, and all for free. Fiction? Yes. But one day, when the planet parade occurs, the company launches a new ship, this fairy tale becomes reality. Tour operators, media and all who will be sold to this liner subsequently on this liner are invited to the first flight.
Harmony of the Seas (Harmony of the Seas) today is really the largest cruise liner at 8,200 people, of which 2,200 crew members. The height of the vessel is comparable with a height of a 20-storey building. Length 362 meters, which exceeds the length of Red Square in Moscow. The construction of the liner was rooyal caribbean in more than 1,000,000,000 euros.
But the most impressive non-measurement, and the filling of the liner is a helicopter area, swimming pools, water slides, casino, theater, ice rink, a garden with 12 thousand different plants and much more. On board even there is Bionic Bar, where robots work as waiters. Let's see how it looks inside ...
Common liner plans. This is a really huge thing, a giant none ark with displacement of 227,500 tons:
3. 
4. 
We left the port of Barcelona. We had two firefighters: in honor of the first navigation, they arranged "salute" from water cannons:
5. 
The first place where you get in a cruise is, of course, the cabin. I will not lead the Metage, I will only mention that there was a separate dressing room in my cabin:
6. 
General zones liner. Right in the photo Giant sculpture of the head, which rotates layers in different directions:
7. 
On board there are pedestrian streets. The complete feeling that the ship did not come to the sea, but a piece of mainland. There are a lot of people. After a number of incidents on ROYAL CARIBBEAN cruises, the advanced face recognition system capable, if necessary, identify each passenger in the crowd:
8. 
Many sculptures and works of contemporary art:
9. 
We rise to the upper decks. There are two types of decks - indoor, comfortable in windmake, and street:
10. 
On board 16 decks. 6 main basins and 10 giant jacuzzi:
11. 
The upper deck is replete with public zones:
12. 
Many sun beds. Pay attention to the slides behind the pool:
13. 
On the other hand, the golf course:
14. 
Waves for riding on boards:
15. 
Rope crossing at the level of seven floors:
16. 
On the stern of the ship a huge aquateater. From the top deck down, two pipes lead along which you can go down in clothes. Feels like - very quickly, very scary and very dark. Almost 30 meters of height overcome in 13 seconds, making 360 degrees along the way:
17. 
To the right of the aquateateater, a pedestrian zone called Central Park:
18. 
19. 
Naturally, there is a gym, and he is gigantic. Many simulators and shells:
20. 
21. 
On board the harmony of the seas of 20 restaurants. The main one occupies three floors, it is there daily dinners pass:
22. 
And this is the same Bionic Bar, where robots work. In the arsenal of mechanical hands 30 alcoholic components. A set of cocktails that they can make, strive for infinity. On one cocktail takes 30 seconds. Looks fantastic:
23. 
Another memorable restaurant is called "Wonderland" and made based on the famous work of Lewis Carolla:
24. 
Hall registration:
25. 
26. 
Instead of the menu, bring an empty picture that you need to color with water, words appear after these manipulations. It would seem a trifle, but leaves an indelible impression:
27. 
Restaurant molecular kitchen. The dish is called "Garden", and the "Earth" is made of bread with the addition of ink Caracatin:
28. 
Dessert from a ball that watered hot chocolate. A minute later, the ball melts, exposing ice cream inside. Delicious:
29. 
Weekly in the restaurants liner go into consumption 4500 kg of chicken and almost 7,000 kg of beef. Just on board 4900 seating In restaurants and bars. The assortment of desserts again hit me with a sense:
30. 
In Central Park dozens of stores on any wallet:
31. 
In the evening they do not have to miss. Rather, on the contrary, you will need to run from one presentation to another:
32. 
In the theater - Broadway Stage "Brocco". The movie of the same name, shot on this Music, made a travolit star as much in 1978:
33. 
Ice show. Just pay attention to the quality of the costumes that prepared for the performance:
34. 
35. 
36. 
37. 
38. 
The actors are floating, then fly, then something else. It looks stunning:
39. 
40. 
The actor "broke out" a couple of times "from the rope right above the audience, forcing the hall to shout from surprise:
41. 
Our team from Russia:
42. 
It is often said that cruises are a lot of European pensioners. However, the situation changes, and companies are increasingly focused on middle-aged people and young people. Discos, good restaurants, fitness, shopping and beach rest - It is really sorry and saturated.
By the way, last year I, too
