Wowser! Wonder how many gallons per mile it burns?

I went to the ports arrivals and departures where it lists the Marco

Not sure if that means fully loaded or dry.
That's almost equal to two Nimitz class aircraft carriers.
One site compared it to the French aircraft carrier, Charles d'Gaulle.
The French warship looked puny in the comparison graphic..

It has a single diesel engine rated at 107,390 hp. Top speed for the
Marco Polo is 25 kts but probably operated a bit slower at around 20
kts. At that speed it would burn about 4,000 gallons per hour or 200
gallons per nautical mile. At 6076 feet per nm, it would burn a little
over 30 gallons per foot.

Correction: Make that 30 feet per gallon, not 30 gallons per foot.


Good grief...even with high speed fuel pumps, it must take a long time
to refuel that monster.


I watched the fuel barge to a cruise ship one time. Probably an 8� hose.

I think the QE2 got something like 12 inches per gallon.



I did a little research and they say between 49’ and a 125’ per gallon.
Don’t know,if that is Imperial gallon.

They were also doing a lot more than just pushing a ship through the
water and it was faster. This was a city floating out there. They used
a hell of a lot of energy sitting at anchor.


Can hardly wait until the cruise ships start up again for real and about
a month later 500 passengers get deathly ill from some illness
contracted on that voyage.

The surprising thing is if people learned anything about hand
sanitization from this Covid mess, that might be far less of a
problem. We never got sick on a cruise but we have always been serious
about washing our hands. We even wipe down the area around our
airplane seats with disinfectant wipes.
We used to get funny looks about it but now I suspect more people will
be doing it ... until they forget.

Washing hands is helpful, but it won't prevent food poisoning, and that
apparently is not infrequent on the cruises.

Thats exactly what we expect you to say. You wish misery and grief
on others because you are a miserable old coot down on your luck.
Have a crappy day.

You're such a little whiny bitch!

You were sick before you took the cruise.

And ignorant and not very bright, despite the claims of his buddy,
Luddite. I wonder if the cruise lines charge extra for contaminated food
and water?

I suspect most of that "food poisoning" is people poisoning their own
food from dirty hands. I assume anything you touch on a cruise ship
has **** on it.
I don't drink the water on a cruise ship. Those tanks are septic
tanks. We always take a case or two of bottled water with us. I avoid
the ice too as much as possible. If the hot food is really hot, it
should be safe.
