So you are saying I should be thanking these cruise ships for taking away most of these people from places I go?

No they are there for you too. Fat drunk people are all over the place!

Even here??

Always was my first choice to buy after winning a yuge lottery prize. Never happened.

No tourists on this ship. Only cabin owners and crew.

They vote on the itineraries. Sailing along forever.

"Explore every ocean and continent in luxurious comfort. As an owner aboard The World, you’re part of a unique international community of adventurers living aboard the largest private residential yacht on Earth."

"The World is the planet’s largest private residential yacht – the only ship of its kind currently in operation – sailing a continuous itinerary across every ocean and continent. Aboard this truly unique Ship are amenities that exceed even the highest standards of luxury travel."

Only 165 owner cabins. Arnold Schwarzenegger owns a cabin but is reported to never be on board. Often only one hundred passos (what we deep sea seamen call the PAX) on board.

Big as in 7'4". I don't think he's heavy. He's mentioned beach volleyball recently.

If that's yer thing, go for it. I'm sure a big shooter like you can convince enough owners to vote Haiti and Epstein's Island as a good itinerary.

You youngsters out there, be warned----There be monsters here.

I did WW for a little bit to lose like 15 pounds. I basically had the same body type as Kyle Orton if that helps though I'm a little taller and obviously not quite as muscular.

I have no problem with fat people gorging themselves on buffets and alcohol either. I just don't need to be on a floating island with them for 7 days on something built for them to do that specific purpose.

Saw it in Port of Miami a week ago Saturday, the day of its inaugural sailing; we departed the next day on NCL Encore (which was a dingy by comparison) after running the Miami half-marathon.

It really was quite impressive.

Holy crap. It's got a surf simulator, an ice skating rink, and a sort of zip line thing you can hang over the edge on.

I feel like food and entertainment can really make or break a cruise.

Which is precisely why we go at the end of January or early February. I don't think I saw more than 10 kids the entire week. And as opposed to spring break time (or later) this time of the year the Caribbean sun intensity is quite manageable.

And yes, also because of kids and frat parties, both Carnival and Disney are non-starters for us.

Watch: World's largest cruise ship rescues 14 people stranded at sea for over a week

The largest cruise ship in the world rescued 14 people Sunday who had been stranded on a small boat for eight days.

Alessandra Amodio was traveling on Royal Caribbeans's Icon of the Seas with her family when the rescue happened.

"We were really surprised and honestly a little freaked out," Amodio said. "We’ve been on a handful of cruises and never seen something like this happen. It was crazy to think that these people were stuck at sea for so long, and we were all on board excited and relieved that the ship was able to rescue them."

She watched the small boat from the windows of the lunch buffet. People on the tiny craft were waving a large white flag.

"The boat turned around, and we pulled up as close as we could to them and stopped," Amodio said. "RCC (Royal Caribbean) deployed a small zodiac-type rescue boat to investigate."

As you can imagine, turning around the largest cruise ship in the world takes quite a while. Getting near a small boat without swamping it in the ship's wake takes careful skill. The detour and rescue took about two hours, according to Amodio.

"Everyone around us was watching from the windows with us and just talking about how this isn’t something we ever thought to experience, and we hoped everyone on board was OK," she said. "But never were we afraid for ourselves."

She described the boat as a small dot in the vastness of the sea.

Royal Caribbean didn't provide much information about the rescue.

"On March 3, 2024, Icon of the Seas encountered a small vessel adrift and in need of assistance," the company said in a statement. "The ship’s crew immediately launched a rescue operation, safely bringing 14 people onboard. The crew provided them with medical attention, and is working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard."

Amodio said the crew had to take several trips to the small boat to rescue everyone.

This was the ship's first full day of cruising. The eight-day vacation started in Miami and the ship was headed for Honduras. Amodio estimated from a map that the Icon of the Seas was between Cozumel, Mexico and western Cuba.

According to Amodio, the crew broadcast "Code Oscar, Code Oscar, Code Oscar," over the loudspeakers, about 3 p.m.

"Then shortly after, the captain came back on the speaker and announced they spotted a distressed vessel, and they were going to turn us around and investigate," she said.

Amodio said that after the rescue, the captain announced that the crew had rescued 14 people stranded at sea for eight days. The captain said he didn't know what country they came from.

All the rescued people left the ship the next day while docked in Roatan, Honduras, she said.

According to maritime law, a ship and crew have a legal and moral obligation to help save human life.

"A master of a ship at sea, which is in a position to be able to provide assistance on receiving a signal from any source that persons are in distress at sea, is bound to proceed with all speed to their assistance," stated the International Maritime Organization.

Code Oscar is unique to Royal Caribbean, according to Marine Insight. The emergency code is usually used when a person falls overboard. Captains use the signal instead of shouting orders to "prevent the potentiality of chaos."

This is the Icon of the Seas' inaugural season. Its very first voyage with passengers was early this year, and FOX Weather got a tour.
