Icon of the Seas - Guesstimania Reveal

Better late than never:

by xander biscuits k

The Icon of the Seas is the largest cruise ship in history.

How big is it?

Let's guess:

1. Number of decks?
2. Gross tonnage?
3. Length in metres?
4. Top speed in knots?
5. Maximum passenger capacity?
6. Number of crew working the ship?
7. Number of water slides on board?
8. Cost in USD?

I also like diab's guess of 50k passengers.... that's like a full sport stadium.. but instead of the guests just having a chair, in the size of a sports stadium.. the guests have a whole room

so the ship would have to be like 10x-50x the size of a sports stadium

6. Number of crew working the ship?

So in reality there are roughly 3 guests per crew member. Let's compare to the previous answers and look up some extreme suggestions:

D1iab - 100 guests per crew member
Doctor Zeus - 2 guests per crew member

I know which theoretical ship I'd rather be on

My logic was around how much **** youd need to do to (a) keep it going and (b) keep ppl entertained

At 20k were talking a city but one where the inhabitants do nothing but party, shop, n get served on


Lol, I just turboed an entry when I thought the reveal was imminent. I never stopped to consider how outrageous any of the numbers I was throwing out were.


Also, I thought a knot was <1km/h. Still a bad guess of course, but less bad than if I knew how fast it actually was.


outrageous guesses are the best part of guesstimania


Does aaronk work on this ship or something?


I look forward to seeing how many slides I put down. I'm pretty sure I planted an entire water park or 2 on that ship.


the one cruise I went on, there was a lot of info about all the questions in this guesstimania, for the ship I was on... I think it was the biggest ship in the Norwegian fleet at the time. if you had an interest in that kind of thing, the info was all there. I was kind of interested, and vaguely remember like number of decks, passengers, and crew, and speed

I also did this. The height was obviously quite bad.


My strategy was: Make a guess, and then make it bigger since these things are bigger than you think. I'm surprised I was so low on crew.


So my laptop died tonight. I have no way of finishing this from my phone.

Sorry guys. I'll revisit it when I get a new computer but I'm not sure when that will be.


at least you made it further than the state reveal


I'll finish this by hook or by crook.
