DCdoc Posted November 2, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I read that she cleared the bridge by a mere 24 inches! Anyone know who the Godmother is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be seven godmothers, one for each neighborhood. But, no, they haven't been announced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare irun5k Posted November 2, 2009 #8 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Absolutely amazing. Do you know what 24 inches is in the context of a ship that large, going under a bridge that high, on something as variable as the sea? I'll tell you what it is, it is enough to make me wet my pants if I'm (A) the captain, (B) any local official who gave permission to transit under the bridge, © any engineer who took any measurements. Of course, if I'm any of the three people above, I probably would have a few drinks at some point and tell everyone how I knew it was all going to work out just fine. I heard the smokestacks can be lowered which is interesting. I'm sure if the ship has ballast tanks, they were completely filled as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joan_al Posted November 2, 2009 #9 Share Posted November 2, 2009 What an awesome video! Thanks for posting it:) I loosing something here. What is so awesome about this video? A video of a ship in the dark going under a bridge. Da-a-a-a. A video of a new ship, awesome no, I'm hard to empress. Awesome would have been, the video, taking you into the theater and coming out and up through the middle of the ship, then panning the ship from afar on the fly. I guess some people are just so easy to please and amuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numberguy Posted November 2, 2009 #16 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I was surprised at how quickly the ship was going under the bridge (unless the video was sped up). I know the final few seconds were really fast-forwarded, but the middle looked like it was real-time. --Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went under the bridge at 20 knots! I have to wonder if she will need go under any bridges while in service. I would hope most major ports are open to the ocean.

GOIN2C Posted November 3, 2009 #22 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I apologize early if this has been answered and I missed it (recent cataract surgery...ick) Does anyone know what day the Oasis will get into Port Everglades? I read the article from Local News 4, and it says Oasis will "debut" on 11/20, is that the day it is actually arriving. Please don't insult me if I am confused on the term debut.

Umm...you really need to calm down...in the 1st place, if you were NOT IMPRESSED with the video clip, why bother posting a snide comment?...people are looking forward to this ship and any info posted is greatly appreciated...this board is meant for POSITIVE exchanges and comments...why do people LIKE YOU feel the need to DUMP ATTITUDE on these comments...you only opened yourself up for the comments that followed your remark, regardless if it was about your opinion or your grammer...as the saying goes YOU STARTED IT!...everyone was fine and happy about the video clip until YOU commented about the reactions to the video clip...2nd, why are you going on about learning disabilities, English as a second language, the languages of other users...why are you acting like a CHILD?...all of a sudden YOU made this into a WAR OF WORDS for no reason...3rd, if you were an ADULT about this and if you did have difficulty expressing yourself, you could have taken this as a LEARNING experience and see that people where trying to help you or were trying to get CLARIFICATION of what you were trying to EXPRESS...but since your original comment was just plan NASTY, I doubt that there's any HELP FOR YOU....

It's NOT a matter of extolling virtues over others, its about giving PROPER RESPECT to others on this thread who were having an excited exchange regarding the footage posted...now if you think that ATTACKING poster's comments and demeaning thier happiness over the topic in question is ACCEPTABLE, than maybe YOU and Joan_al need to brush up on what it means to treat EVERYONE AS A HUMAN BEING...!!!!...and by the way, I'm just an infrequent reader of these boards, so I am in NO WAY a memeber of this so-called 'CC Bashing Club'...but to come accross the comment that Joan_al posted was really un-called for and just plain NASTY...
