Wonder of the Seas
Wonder of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship owned and operated by Royal Caribbean
International. It was built in 2018 in the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire,
France the fifth in Royal Caribbean's Oasis class of cruise ships. At 236,857 GT, it is the
largest cruise ship in the world by gross tonnage, surpassing her sister ship Symphony of the
Seas, also owned by Royal Caribbean International.

Wonder of the Seas measures 1,188 feet (362 m) in length and has a gross tonnage of
236,857 across 18 decks. This ship accommodates 5,734 passengers at double occupancy
up to a maximum capacity of 6,988 passengers, as well as a 2,300 crew. There are 16 decks
for guest use, 20 restaurants, 4 pools and 2,867 cabins.

Wonder of the Seas is about 30 metres (98 feet) longer than the largest military ships ever
built, the U.S. Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.

Wonder of the Seas has eight different "neighborhoods", including an all new suite
neighborhood.

Facilities include a children's water park, a children's playground, a full-size basketball court,
an ice-skating rink, a surf simulator, a zip line that is 10 decks high, a 1400-seat theater, an
outdoor aquatic theater with 30-foot (9.1 m) high platforms, and two 43-foot (13 m) rock-
climbing walls.

As with all Oasis-class ships, one of the special features on board is the Central Park, which
consists of over 10,000 real plants.

Wonder of the Seas is powered onboard by six marine-diesel sets, each composed of three
16-cylinder Wärtsilä 16V46D common rail engines and three 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 12V46D
engines.

For propulsion, Wonder of the Seas uses three 20,000 kilowatt azipod main engines, which
are electric thrusters. These engines are mounted under the stern of the ship and they each
drive 20 foot wide rotatable propellers. In addition to the three main engines, there are four
bow thrusters used for docking, each with 5,500 kilowatts of power or 7,380 horsepower.

Symphony of the Seas

Symphony of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship owned and operated by Royal Caribbean
International. She was built in 2018 in the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire,
France, the fourth in Royal Caribbean's Oasis class of cruise ships. At 228,081 GT, she was
the largest cruise ship in the world by gross tonnage when built, surpassing her sister ship
Harmony of the Seas, also owned by Royal Caribbean International, and surpassed by her
sister ship Wonder of the Seas in 2022.

Symphony of the Seas measures 361.011 metres (1,184 ft 5.0 in) in length and has a gross
tonnage of 228,081 across 18 decks. She can accommodate 5,518 passengers at double
occupancy up to a maximum capacity of 6,680 passengers, as well as a 2,200-person crew.
There are 16 decks for guest use, 22 restaurants, 4 pools and 2,759 cabins.
Symphony of the Seas is about 30 metres (98 feet) longer than the largest military ships ever
built, the U.S. Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.

Facilities include a children's water park, a full-size basketball court, an ice-skating rink, a zip
line that is 10 decks high, a 1400-seat theater, an outdoor aquatic theater with Olympic-height
platforms, and two 43-foot (13 m) rock-climbing walls. There is also a park containing over
20,000 tropical plants.

Symphony of the Seas is powered onboard by six marine-diesel sets each composed of three
16-cylinder Wärtsilä 16V46D common rail engines and three 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 12V46D
engines.

The energy-efficient design of Symphony of the Seas requires less shipboard power
generation, with 85 MW versus the 100 MW normally found on Oasis class ships. One of the
key design features is the use of only LED or fluorescent lights in order to avoid the heat
generation from incandescent bulbs, thereby reducing the load on air conditioning systems.

Additional energy efficiency is accomplished by using a 2 MW steam turbine to recover waste

heat from the engines and converting it into energy to power a portion of the onboard hotel
load.

For propulsion, Symphony of the Seas uses three 20,000 kilowatt azipod main engines, which
are electric thrusters. These engines are mounted under the stern of the ship and they each
drive 20 foot wide rotatable propellers. In addition to the three main engines, there are four
bow thrusters used for docking, each with 5,500 kilowatts of power or 7,380 horsepower.

Among the Oasis-class ships, Symphony of the Seas uses 25% less fuel due to design
changes. One of these is the implementation of a new system that releases tiny air bubbles
under the hull to enable the vessel to glide more smoothly through the water. The air layer
also reduces excitation from the propellers, which cuts noise and vibration levels in the aft
part of the ship.

Harmony of the Seas

Harmony of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship built by STX France at the Chantiers de
l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, for Royal Caribbean International. With a gross
tonnage of 226,963 GT, she is the third largest passenger ship in the world, larger than her
older sisters Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, but surpassed by her newer sisters
Symphony of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas. In length, however, Harmony of the Seas is
the longest cruise ship in the world.

The success of the first two Oasis-class ships led Royal Caribbean Cruises to order a third
ship of the type in December 2012. Harmony of the Seas is named after the Harmony module
on the International Space Station. The vessel was floated out on 19 June 2015, began her
first sea trials on 10 March 2016, and was delivered to Royal Caribbean on 12 May 2016.
After a construction time of 32 months, the ship first set sail on 15 May 2016 from the STX
France docks in Saint-Nazaire, viewed by some 70,000 people. Her first destination was
Southampton, England, although her home port was Barcelona until 23 October 2016 when
she crossed the Atlantic.

Harmony of the Seas took two short "preview cruises", three nights to Cherbourg and four
nights to Rotterdam, after reaching port in Southampton on 17 May. During these voyages,
passengers complained of ongoing construction, a lack of hot water, unopened attractions,
excessive waits at restaurants, and other issues. The ship's maiden voyage departed from
Southampton on 29 May and arrived at its summer home port of Barcelona on 5 June.
According to passengers on this cruise, construction had finished and the ship was ready to
sail. For the inaugural season, Harmony of the Seas offered seven-night western
Mediterranean cruises originating from Barcelona and Civitavecchia.
On 10 November 2016, the vessel was officially christened by her godmother, Miami-Dade
County teacher Brittany Affolter

Harmony of the Seas has 2,747 staterooms, of various sizes, to accommodate (at double
occupancy) 5,479 guests. The ship is divided into seven neighborhoods, including Central
Park and Boardwalk, like her Oasis-class sisters. Harmony of the Seas has a number of
water-based attractions including a large dry slide complex, known as The Ultimate Abyss,
two surf simulators, three water slides, and 3 swimming pools. It also has the first water slides
on a Royal Caribbean ship. She also has 20 dining venues, a 1,400-seat theatre and 11,252
works of art.

Harmony of the Seas is 20 percent more energy efficient than her sister ships Oasis of the
Seas and Allure of the Seas. Small air bubbles from the keel reduce drag and thus fuel
consumption by 7 to 8 percent, and a smooth hull surface further reduces resistance. The
bubble system also reduces propeller noise, and is used on Celebrity Reflection and
Quantum of the Seas. LED and fluorescent lamps replace incandescent light bulbs, reducing
power consumption and the need for air conditioning. The engine system uses a waste heat
recovery system, and drives three Azipod propellers.

Oasis of the Seas

Oasis of the Seas is a cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean International. She is the first
of her class, whose ships are the largest passenger ships in the world. Her hull was laid down
in November 2007 and she was completed and delivered to Royal Caribbean in October
2009. At the time of construction, Oasis of the Seas set a new capacity record of carrying
over 6,000 passengers. The first of her class, she was joined by sister ships Allure of the
Seas in December 2010, Harmony of the Seas in May 2016, and Symphony of the Seas in
April 2018. Oasis of the Seas conducts cruises of the Caribbean from her home port of
PortMiami in Miami, Florida.

Oasis of the Seas surpassed the Freedom-class cruise ships (also owned by Royal
Caribbean) to become the largest cruise ship in the world at that time.[10] She was herself
surpassed by her sister ship Allure of the Seas, which is 50 millimetres (2.0 in) longer,
although this may have been caused by ambient temperature differences at the times the
measurements were made. In May 2016, her second sister ship Harmony of the Seas
became the new record holder with a length of 362.12 metres (1,188.1 ft), and in March 2018,
Symphony of the Seas, the fourth member of the Oasis class, became the new world's largest
cruise ship with a length of 361.011 m (1,184.42 ft) and a tonnage of 228,081 GT.

The gross tonnage (GT) of Oasis of the Seas at launch was 225,282, but it was expanded to
226,838 GT when additional cabins were added to Deck 14 in 2019.F Her displacement—the
actual mass of the vessel—is estimated at 100,000 metric tons (110,000 short tons), slightly
less than that of an American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.

To keep the ship stable without increasing the draft excessively, the designers created a wide
hull; 9.3 metres (31 ft) of the ship sits beneath the water, a small percentage of the ship's
overall height. Wide, shallow ships such as this tend to be "snappy", meaning that they can
snap back upright after a wave has passed, which can be uncomfortable. This effect,
however, is mitigated by the vessel's large size. The cruise ship's officers were pleased with
the ship's stability and performance during the transatlantic crossing, when the vessel, in
order to allow finishing work to go on, slowed and changed course in the face of winds
"almost up to hurricane force" and seas in excess of 12 metres (39 ft).

The ship's power comes from six medium-speed, marine-diesel generating sets: three 16-
cylinder Wärtsilä 16V46D common rail engines producing 18,860 kilowatts (25,290 hp) each
and three similar 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 12V46D engines producing 13,860 kilowatts (18,590
hp) each. The fuel consumption of the main engines at full power is 1,377 US gallons (5,210 l;
1,147 imp gal) of fuel oil per engine per hour for the 16-cylinder engines and 1,033 US gallons
(3,910 l; 860 imp gal) per engine per hour for the 12-cylinder engines. The total output of
these prime movers, some 97,020 kilowatts (130,110 hp), is converted to electricity, used in
hotel power for operation of the lights, elevators, electronics, galleys, water treatment plant,
and all of the other systems used on the operation of the vessel, as well as propulsion.
Propulsion is provided by three 20,000-kilowatt (26,800 hp) Azipods, ABB's brand of electric
azimuth thrusters. These pods, suspended under the stern, contain electric motors driving 20-
foot (6 m) propellers. Because they are rotatable, no rudders are needed to steer the ship.
Docking is assisted by four 5,500-kilowatt (7,380 hp) transverse bow thrusters.

Additional power comes from solar panels fitted by BAM Energy Group, which provide energy
for lighting in the promenade and central park areas. The installation cost US$750,000 and
covers 1,950 square metres (21,000 sq ft) on deck 19.

The ship carries 18 lifeboats that hold 370 people each, for a total of 6,660 people. Inflatable
life rafts provide for additional passengers and crew.

1.Aspiring cadets and seamen are always fascinated by the way a Merchant Marine Officer
dress ups in his uniform, hence I would like to present a better picture of various uniforms in
trend in history as well as in modern times.

Uniforms display rank and are a source of pride for their wearers.Many members of the
Merchant Navy were never required to wear a uniform. Uniforms came into popular culture of
Merchant navy when large shipping companies which carried passengers started using
systems of stripes and badges. These helped to identify crew from passengers, officers from
seamen or ratings, as well as encouraging discipline, this was the birth of Merchant Navy
uniforms in Britain and part of Europe.
