Default Worlds largest cruise ship heading to Florida.

$1.5 Billion boat was built in Finland,and has to pass under a 213 foot tall bridge as it starts its long voyage to the United States.

The boat captain sees no problem in clearing the bridge even though this big boat is 212 feet high.
Yup you got it just one foot shorter than the bridge.

How much does this ship Draft??
Harbor allowance depends upon how much Depth ships require where some Harbors do not allow for certain ships.
To be on the safe side, the ship will speed up so that it sinks deeper into the water when it passes below the road-and-rail link, said Lene Gebauer Thomsen, a spokeswoman for the operator of the Great Belt Bridge.Mikko Ilus, project engineer at the Turku shipyard, said he didn't expect clearing the bridge to be a problem.
Theoretically, of course it's possible, but the tidal variations in the Baltic are so small that it's unlikely,” he said.

WHAT is unlikely?? That the ship would clear such a structure or that it would not??

Which other Harbors of the World have Height challenges?

What ever became of that other Cruise Liner with its own on board Train for moving passengers?

Every boat that I have been on came up out of the water the faster it traveled. I hope these folks know what they are talking about 'cause I ain't never seen no brakes on a boat worth a crap.

I'm thinking what is a ticket going to cost for a ride on this floating tank?
Given the price tag of how much it cost to build it.

If it is reasonable then I wonder how long it will take the owners to re-coop their investment?

Oh my word the questions I think of sitting in front of my computer.
Sometimes I even wonder about the stuff I come up with?
