Very interesting design,a beautiful ship.

added the stretched superstructure version in the previous post.

Next version, will have a totally new superstructure! that is also one deck taller than this one the two last one.

I like the second one, but one thing to keep in mind is that this is Hawai'i - the weather is very nice all year round, and terracing the decks would improve outdoor space immensely, which then improves passenger comfort.

It's a lot of deck space, I have just gone for solid railings over normal railings since it would cover a somewhat against wind, but mostly against sea spray.

But I can always remove the aft sky-lounge. or decrease the restaurant area on the top deck. not that area is very small. so there is a lot of space on the gang way on both side of the superstructure.

The Beam of that top floor restaurant is... Basically you have space for a table for six persons on both sides, and an gangway on the center line. there is also lift in both end of the restaurant, and one in front of the aft sky-lounge. those small box on the roofs (Like the one that have the satellite dish on it, is an the engine room for the lift.)

The lifeboats is 80 mans lifeboats (Norwegian design of course) 640 persons, rest have to go in rafts.


BTW. I am going to make an top view so it's more easy to see what is going on.

Oh the big ramp in the bow. is similar to the one on the other side. the ramp for the car deck is behind the big one.


Why I have gone for this design over other is that, her in Norway with our coastal liners there was some noise problems, something the found an solution by just place the entire engine room as far aft in the hull as possible to fit, so already there we have some comfort.

I've misplaced my prototype livery, but for text I would ask that you include the apostrophe in "Hawai'ian", and if you are going to include a letter on the funnel, I'd try and make it "RH" for "Royal Hawai'ian".

ok

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii

Wikipedia does not list Hawaii with the apostrophe. As far as linguistic sperging is concerned, I think Wikipedia is probably correct - no need for the apostrophe.

Wikipedia also notes that the proper spelling in the Hawai'ian language is "Hawai'i" - and as it's still independent here, it's not out of the question that said spelling is preserved.

So this is an "official" challenge to develop and draw a ferry for your personal AU??? :/

It's not my AU, it's Voyager's. I just play in it sometimes. I thought this would be a good change from the swarm of NATO Frigate challenges we've had.
