Out of curiosity, is fuel consumption something that is also tested during sea trials? In some ways, nowadays, it seems like that's almost as important as top speed. (I for one thought it was fascinating to have a fuel report as part of the voyage log we received on our recent Zuiderdam cruise.) Thanks as always for keeping us, um, "up to speed" on the ship's progress! How very exciting!
