Too bad the timing was bad. Sounds like an a very creative design.

I watched that video last night while cruising YouTube (I also found a video that showed me how to get Fallout 3 to run on Windows 10 
). A very productive day with a wasted night playing the game!
Its a shame that the project was scrapped. Its also amazing how similar RCL Oasis class is to that design.

The Vista and Horizon are cruising that fine line. Today my husband said that Carnival has just started consruction on another ship today!

Yes, the giant ship that will never be.
