Itās a real ship - Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas - checked the name after zooming in on the image. Reason Iām crying laughing is despite my comments above we took a weekās cruise on this ship 5 years ago for the same friendās 60th birthday. The good news is that if you book a suite there are areas reserved for suite passengers only which massively reduces the crowds. Since we hardly ever take a cruise we booked a large one bedroom suite - last time as well as this.
This has now been overtaken by the latest Royal Caribbean ship - Icon of the Seas. 
So - one week into my āone watchā vacation and day 5 of the cruise.
St. Maarten today after spending yesterday in St. Thomas - which was actually quite disappointing as a place to visit. ...
Was in St Thomas in December VERY jealous š©š
Where in St Thomas did you stay? ...
St Thomasā¦š¤
Had a decent time but not so good to keep me from checking out more islands on the chainā¦
Spent a great day in St. Maarten today.
Both the Dutch and French sides of the islandš
Way better.
Much more comprehensive tourism infrastructure and the Dutch and French sides each had their own characteristics. I could envisage flying in here for a week of sun and sand and exploring - potentially island hopping to other islands close by on ferry.

š¤ÆSeriously, my first thought is how do you design a floating 2-3 city blocks?? It might be bigger than that, I donāt know.
But it must have been quite the experience. Plus, on something so big, I guess thereās less chance of seasickness (which is a big problem for me).
Thatās a one watch for life in my books;)
Enjoy your vacation, youāre in good company.š„
Interestingly - yes.
Not from any of the passengers - but three of the staff who were all interested in watches commented on seeing a white dial 5711 in the wild. All three were from Asiatic countries where the interest in watches among their age demographic is likely higher ...
