The world’s biggest floating gated community

Here’s a new way to get away from people . . . well, except for the thousands of people who are on the both with you:

[I]t is so big it will have actual neighborhoods – a Boardwalk with a real carousel and high-diving show; a Central Park with thousands of real plants and trees; a Royal Promenade as wide as a highway, lined with shops and including a bar that rises three decks; an Entertainment zone that includes an ice skating rink; and more.

The 16-deck ship will have as many as 8,700 people onboard when you combine full-capacity passengers and crew, certainly enough to declare Allure a city at sea.

    "…a Royal Promenade as wide as a highway lined with shops…"

    And paved with gold? It sounds like some new version of the Christian heaven conjured by some 'prosperity gospel' type of believers.

    but how many starbucks?

    IN the past I could not have imagined living away from land – I needed books and movies and cosy little cafes, and ships could not provide any of that (at least, not with any degree of choice)

    Now! w00t! I can get my books electronically, likewise my movie fix. Hopefully there is turnover in the 'downtown' so room for a bunch of cute little cafes! Do they all have a patio with a sea view?
