message: Maybe I am mistaken, but a ship is registered in a country. The ship then flies the flag of that country, correct? Also, is it not highly unlikely for a ship to fly two flags? I hae seen many a cruis ship stern of photos of the old liners and have never seen two flags. If these two observences/comments are correct, then many of the entries listed under "flag" are incorrect.Gary Joseph 23:53, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks but you did not answer the question. The column now lists "country". But what is this in reference to? If it is the country of registry, then some of those in the column are incorrect. Liberty of the Seas has Bahamaian registry and Freedom of the Seas has Liberian registry. Also, ships are registered in ONE country, so the boxes with two countries listed cannot be right. Clarify what the last column is for please.Gary Joseph 02:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The front page of wikipedia is running it as a news story with a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Oasis_of_the_Seas
However this article states; "Indeed, not until the 2009 launch of the first of the Oasis Class ships, which is projected to displace about 100,000 tons,"
Indeed most of this article refers to the Oasis in future tense. No big deal, just could do with updating.--60.224.17.144 (talk) 10:39, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have been doing some online searches to discover current safety standards. I find that the sources of safety information are few and far between with any detailed information. I have been to the SOLAS site which approaches safety from an oblique angle. This was prompted by reading about the Harmony of the Sea huge cruise liner. With capacity for 6,780 passengers and another 2,300 in crew puts the souls on board at 9,080. I don't know of any search and rescue organization that could handle such a number. Perhaps because of the tendency to cruise within sight of land. Perhaps they think the watertight doors and navigation equipment preclude chances of a real disaster (we all know how that turned out). The Harmony appears to be very top heavy. Having all the passengers and crew rush to one side of the ship to view an event would be disastrous.
I'm just trying to figure out if there is any interest in this section/page. Your feedback would be appreciated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scot Brother (talk • contribs) 17:40, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: , I think that could be a valuable addition to this article, or a stand-alone article.  Given the number of cruise ship incidents the past decade, one would hope to find some studies by independent, reliable third-party sources discussing the issues.  Certainly, such sources exist for specific incidents.  (An example is the "Marine Accident Report—Grounding of the United Kingdom Passenger Vessel RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 Near Cuttyhunk Island, Vineyard Sound, Massachusetts", August 7, 1992 (NTSB/MAR-93/01), but I don't know if that is available online.)   There are a number of dedicated and knowledgeable editors in the Ships project, and you may wish to post to the WT:SHIPS page.  Kablammo (talk) 19:04, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Why does a large proportion of this article consist of a detailed table of types of cargo vessels (and no additional information on passenger vessels), introduced in July 2019? I suggest that it is deleted. Davidships (talk) 17:28, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
