Freedom of the Seas

I skipped my one and only class today. My Php 14.00 worth of class, cause I have to spend 14 pesos for a single 2-hour class, and yet nobody shows up but me and Gino.

Awhile ago, there were a lot of things running around in my mind.. but I can't think of anything to write now. Haha *gah* No, not blogger's block. So many things, and yet I dont know where to start.

I'm re-reading The Alchemist. The book written by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, "Why we want you to be rich" is lying beside a chair, unfinished. The book which is a Pulitzer Prize Winner, and should be very exciting entitled "The Soul of a New Machine", was boring me to death and so it remains unread. (ma-detalye kasi) Nyahaha.

I searched the internet to answer some of the questions raised about QM2.

It WAS the world's largest cruise ship when it first set sailed. But, it's title was taken last May 2006 when the newly built "Freedom of the Seas", arrived in New York Harbor from Southampton, Britain, which is 237 feet tall and 1,112 feet long with 15 passenger decks.

It has replaced the ocean liner Queen Mary 2 as the world's biggest cruise liner, which although six metres longer, is 15m narrower than the Finnish-built vessel.

Built by Norwegian shipbuilder Aker Yards ASA, the ship cost $800 million and can carry more than 4,000 passengers. The world's previous largest ship, the Queen Mary 2, can carry about 3,000 people and weighs 151,400 tons.

Queen Mary 2





Freedom of the Seas






Anyway visit their respective sites Queen Mary 2 and Freedom of the Seas, if you want more info and more comparison or whatsoever. ahihi.

And my dream to have the first "skating rink" on sea was done by Freedom of the Seas already. They have one. (HUHU). I cant have a "zoo", cause that's Noah's Ark. Haha. I will have an amusement park in my cruise ship. Hah. I bet they don't have that. Nyahaha. Para unique. Haha. :)

Case Study: Queen Mary

Me and my classmates gathered together awhile ago to make our SIS case study. We had our tuna flakes and eggs again, and was prepared by Avy.

My case study is about the information system at a cruise ship named Queen Mary 2. What a lovely, luxurious cruise ship it is. I wanna own one. Bwahaha. :)

It includes 5 swimming pools, a spa (Royal Ranch Canyon Spa Club) , a planetarium (Winter’s Garden), a two-story theatre that seats 1,000 (Royal Theatre), a casino (Empire Casino), bars (Golden Lion, Veuvet Cliquot Champagne Bar), restaurants (Britannia Restaurant, Queen’s Grill, Todd English, King’s Court), ballroom (Queen’s Room), a café (Boardwalk café), a recreation area (Sports Centre), a 500 seat theatre-like place also for conference (Illuminations), a clubhouse (Commodore Club), a library and bookshop, shops (Mayfair Shops), a nightclub (G32 Nightclub), luxurious kennels, a nursery staffed with British nannies and wine collection at sea.

Queen Mary 2 Facts:

Ø QM2 is five times longer than Cunard's first ship, Britannia (230 ft.)

Ø QM2 is 113 feet longer than the original Queen Mary

Ø QM2 is more than twice as long as the Washington Monument is tall (550 ft

Ø QM2 is 147 feet longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall (984 ft.)

Ø QM2 is more than 3 ½ times as long as Westminster Tower (Big Ben) is high (310ft.)

Ø QM2 is more than three times as long as St. Paul's Cathedral is tall (366 ft.)

Ø QM2 is as long as 41 double-decker London buses (31 ½ ft. each)

Ø QM2's whistle will be audible for 10 miles

Did You Know...

The height of QM2’s funnel, at 62 metres above the water line, has been limited in order for her to be able to pass under Verazzano Narrows Bridge in New York.

Artists representing 128 countries have been commissioned to provide more than $5 million worth of art.

Approximately 250 tonnes of paint will have been applied using spray guns covering an
area of 550,000 square metres.

Cunard has entered into partnership with the University of Oxford to provide a programme of authors, historians, artists, scientists and celebrities to enrich the onboard experience. (*And I searched it.. it's called the Cunard ConneXions. *)

A single joystick on the Bridge manoeuvres her sideways, at an angle or she can even remain stationary over a fixed spot on the earth by use of satellites and wind gauges. (*high tech*)

QM2 is the only ship that can boast a Planetarium. (*Gah. In my ship I will have.. a skating rink.. etc. etc. Ang wala sa iba.. nasa ship ko. haha*)

There are one thousand, two hundred and fifty three officers and crew onboard QM2.

My ship would then be called Angelblush. Ay ang korny! haha.
