I thought that it was a great show! It showed a lot of behind the scenes stories.  Thanks Sunny Joe<—-Conquest on Halloween! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

Ditto. "The only ship to use three BT’s (a total of six)"….interesting, but I beg to differ unless they are only counting passenger ships. In addition, I feel the Mermaid buying habits of Carnival Corp was a factor in the choice of running gear for this build. I have never been a big fan of self contained EPD’s on a Cruiser or a Liner, so it will be interesting to see what kind of a service record accrues as a result of the option. I think the highlight of the program for me, was seeing this yard’s use of ACP/AFP layering techniques tied with the loss of the "unique" BTD on her virgin trials. -Heather Remove CanOspam to email http://members.aol.com/nookeybear/index1.htm

I very much enjoyed it and even taped the program. There were a few errors such as reporting that "QM2 is the first green ship", and that "QM2 is the first passenger ship with three bow thrusters". Those statements are just false. If you enjoyed this program, be sure to view a similar program about the building of VOYAGER OF THE SEAS which I personally found even more enjoyable. It seemed VOYAGER had more challenges during her building, with the first floating ice skating rink, the long Royal Promenade with massive fire doors, not to mention one of the first passenger ships to utilize Azipods (and three at that). The special on VOYAGER really showcased those challenges as well as the many design issues. Both specials are certainly "must-haves" for any ship lover. Ernie

Correct me if I am in error, as the exact narrative escapes me, but my recollection is that it was stated that the Liner is "a" greenie, not "the first" one. and that "QM2 is the first passenger ship with three bow thrusters"

As I have pointed out before you. Although, again, I am not sure of the wording in regards to "first used" on "Ship", "Liner" or "Passenger". And as my husband will tell you, scripts are often corrected on VO’s on shows that use edits from prior ones….so we will see if the information is corrected on upcoming (which there will no doubt be) shows that make mention of QM2 specs. -Heather Remove CanOspam to email http://members.aol.com/nookeybear/index1.htm

No, I recall the narration stating "first green ship", or something to that effect which caught my attention. and that "QM2 is the first passenger ship with three bow thrusters" As I have pointed out before you.

I didn’t read your post, but it doesn’t really matter who said it first. And yes, again I believe the words "first" were most certainly used.  Again, a false statement. I have it taped so when I watch it again I will listen carefully. Ernie

Interesting……prolly wasn’t a mistake after all….sounds like PR BS to me. Once again: QM2 is NOT the first greenie and is NOT the first to have more than two BT’s. -Heather Remove CanOspam to email http://members.aol.com/nookeybear/index1.htm
