Model of the Allure of the Seas

Not the easiest to see, as these were taken through a glass display case, but they each show something I've posted about more clearly than I could describe. 

This shows the Solarium (the glassed roof area), and the cantilevered hot tub on the starboard (right) side of the ship. If you look closely under the middle glass roof panel, you'll see the Solarium pool in the middle of the ship, and a hot tub on the starboard side. There's a hot tub on the port (left) side too, and a second cantilevered hot tub on the port side. 

This shows how the ship is somewhat figure-8 shaped, with two sides and open in the middle down to Cental Park.

The back of the ship showing the middle area open down to the Boardwalk, and the Sports Deck area with two flow riders (one hidden), the sports court and putt putt golf, and the Aqua Theater at the very back.

That it holds together, that it stays afloat, that it doesn't tip over is truly mind boggling.
