Yes i've found one. One of my 'rare' 'favorite' of my favorite entertainer. (and this vid contains quite alot of erotic stuffs). But who here's a naval enthusiacs? Can anyone tell me the model of a cruise ship seen here? anything it resembles (But surely not from 'Loveboat' TV Show, this one appears to be more archaic, some that regularly builds at the first half of 20th Century) It appears to have Bulbous Bow (does it has any?) And what is its approximate size? any ships to compare?


At 3:45 , 4:18
 
I don't think that the ships shown were actually cruise ships. Ocean liners began to disappear as soon as transatlantic jet flights became common. The Queen Elizabeth 2 was the first to transition to cruising and the Love Boat TV series in the 70s popularized it. Your video, besides being quite terrible to watch (thanks for the places to look) used other ships for the film.
 
'Other ships' Is that ship in question actually a freight ship? (And the video makers AFAIK aren't keen on naval engineering either and I don't think it was filmed on an actual ship, so much CG used). If Leiji Matsumoto did this video the boat in question will look nicer I think)
But hey 'modern' era (first half of 20th Century) usually painted its hull black and red keels.

In the video. only fronts and propellers are visible (apart of interiors, which is what you've gonna see in that kinda pleasure boat, and no. no bridges)

Just scanning through, I think pretty much everything in that vid was a a sound stage or cgi. The one ship at about 3:45 is not a cruise ship. Just a generic freighter.
 
Ha! A freighter converted to Pleasure Ship? This sounds similar to the two loveboats owned by FTV (and yes its owner. Michel Adam Lisowski was present on both of these sister ships throughout its tenure)

Too bad none of these survived. and these began their life as freightships. and had been seen in Chonburi province (Either as freightship that came and go from Laem Chabang Harbor, and as pleasure ships that presented in Pattaya).. too bad none of these will ever see the days being converted to spacefaring ships :P

How about size. Does this ship seen there has a size of any mighty Dreadnoughs? (or even Yamato)

The Pacific Princess, the ship from the TV show Love Boat was a real ship, wasn't particularly large. The Queen Mary II is as large as any modern American supercarier. Which is larger than any battleship ever built. The largest cruise ships are that large. They are somewhat lighter than warships of similar dimensions, due to lighter construction.
 
And The frieghter seen in the video.. How big is it? Is it anything as big as this?
