This is the MS Walrus, enjoy!

The MS Walrus is an Antarctic cruise ship that takes tourists to Antarctica, she was launched in 2000, she is a pretty popular ship, she goes from Capetown to somewhere in the North of Antarctic, in 2016 an island called Sahamu island, two years later on January 5th 2018, the MS Walrus went on an expedition to that island, unfortunately 96 out of the 103 tourists that sailed on the Walrus were killed, many eaten by the island's strange but deadly creatures. People are now afraid to go to the Antarctic, but these creatures only existed on Sahamu island, and as long as they don't try to learn to swim, it should be fine. Anyway in 2019 The ship will hit an iceberg and it will sink, 37 people will die then!

Anyway, the Walrus has many public rooms to explore such as the Arctic bar or the Atlantic lounge, There''s so much to do on the Walrus, It's a pretty nice ship for people who want to go to Antarctica for a holiday.

The exterior was inspired by the MS Expedition.

I like this ship! Also, I like a lot the interiors you made!
Just few tips:
- the real ship is wider and less tall than you made it. For what I can see, you used a scale to make the ship larger than the real one, which is a good move (building 1:1 ships is a real pain!). However, to use a scale you need to calculate.
Let's say that a real ship is long 100 meters and wide 25. If you make it on a scale of 1:1.8, you have to do:
100 x 1.8 = 180
25 x 1.8 = 45
So you have to build a ship which, in this example, would be 180 m long and 45 m wide. This way you can preserve the real size rate.
- The bow (front part of a ship) that you made has a 45° angle, whereas it is not the same on the real ship's bow. Try to experiment on a curvature, and see if you can improve it.

But overall, the ship is great. It needs some improvements on the exterior, but the interiors are very nice.
You have great potential, so keep it up!

Great build! A "few" suggestions though:
  • There is a lot of inconsistency with the build, mainly the chairs. Try to keep to a certain style. Also, blocks like nether brick and bricks don't make good chairs and try different chair designs rather than the generic stair block designs.
  • A lot of repetition, it looks nice but lacks specific detail, for example, there are a lot of tables but no kitchen or any other sorts of places where food is prepared. There isn't any sort of storage, with people's luggage, fuel, emergency supplies, etc.
  • A lounge should have comfy chairs and sofas, it shouldn't be jammed pack with a crap ton of chairs and tables. Try using Google images for inspiration on designs.
  • A lot of cruises have more than just the rooms you've built, try to be creative with them, examples include indoor pools, movie theaters, children's playrooms, ballrooms, etc.
  • This lacks a lot of different things that a ship has, for example, the crew's bunker, different-sized rooms for families, couples, groups, etc.
This is just some of my suggestions, the build looks nice, but it really does seem to only depend on 1 reference picture.

1: The Nether bricks and brick stair blocks in the lounge represent the lounge on the MS Expedition, and stairs are the only to make single chairs in Minecraft unless you have mods.

2: There are a few kitchens and there is an Oil Bunker to put Oil into the boilers but the rest might be updated in the future.

3: The stairs are the only form of single chairs in Minecraft so there's no way to make them look comfy unless you used mods.

4: The ship I was basing it on (MS Expedition) had none of those things, although they might be added in the future.

5: There are crew bunkers on Deck 2, but the rest might be added in the future.

1. you could use snow to make chairs and couches, or slabs and doors, I just don't like the repetitiveness of the stairs.

2. I've realized that you've increased the scale of the ship, (its more like 3:2 or something) it seemed to lack a lot of rooms but since the ship is so small in real life, I've realized why it lacks it.

3. I still think that you've built a great ship and hope you build more ships in the future!

Could you try making your ship hulls more "organic"? More rounded, as they look very much like boxes..

That's the point! Many cruise ships are very boxy...

Yes, many cruises are boxy, but I think your ship would look way better if the hull and the super structure had some curvature.

Although they may be "boxy," the hulls are most definitely not flat like yours.
