Icon of the Seas - Guesstimania Reveal - Page 2 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

I also like diab's guess of 50k passengers.... that's like a full sport stadium.. but instead of the guests just having a chair, in the size of a sports stadium.. the guests have a whole room

so the ship would have to be like 10x-50x the size of a sports stadium

So in reality there are roughly 3 guests per crew member. Let's compare to the previous answers and look up some extreme suggestions:

D1iab - 100 guests per crew member
Doctor Zeus - 2 guests per crew member

I know which theoretical ship I'd rather be on

Player	Guess	Score
aaronk56	2400	11
lukethefluke	2600	10
pwnsall	2000	9
filthyvermin	3500	8
Booker Wolfbox	1350	7
housenuts	1325	6
eyebooger	1200	5
Eric	650	4
Neil S	500	2
D1iabol1cal	500	2
Doctor Zeus	10000	1
ACTUAL	2350	0

My logic was around how much **** youd need to do to (a) keep it going and (b) keep ppl entertained

At 20k were talking a city but one where the inhabitants do nothing but party, shop, n get served on

Lol, I just turboed an entry when I thought the reveal was imminent. I never stopped to consider how outrageous any of the numbers I was throwing out were.

Also, I thought a knot was <1km/h. Still a bad guess of course, but less bad than if I knew how fast it actually was.

I look forward to seeing how many slides I put down. I'm pretty sure I planted an entire water park or 2 on that ship.

the one cruise I went on, there was a lot of info about all the questions in this guesstimania, for the ship I was on... I think it was the biggest ship in the Norwegian fleet at the time. if you had an interest in that kind of thing, the info was all there. I was kind of interested, and vaguely remember like number of decks, passengers, and crew, and speed

I also did this. The height was obviously quite bad.

My strategy was: Make a guess, and then make it bigger since these things are bigger than you think. I'm surprised I was so low on crew.

So my laptop died tonight. I have no way of finishing this from my phone.

Sorry guys. I'll revisit it when I get a new computer but I'm not sure when that will be.
