Cruise ships, like Mare Crisium, are designed with a great deal of optimism. Certain choices must be made when building a luxury cruise liner. For example, these floating megaliths are consciously built to be exceptionally top-heavy for the sole purpose of reducing nausea in passengers. A top-heavy vessel naturally won’t sway back and forth as it moves, and thus is more pleasurable to ride on. Passengers barely feel a difference between walking on land and walking on the deck of something as large and unyielding as the Mare Crisium. Guests are ironically comforted by this, believing their whimsical city-on-the-waves to be safe, due to lack of turbulence. Storms above the water can wail against the ship without so much as causing a stir in the amphitheater, so it must be safe. |
