A $50 million cruise ship that can't even float
The cry of "Man overboard!" isn't one that'll cause a rush of panic on the decks of the Queen Elizabeth in Turkey. That's probably because people are continually jumping ship: to visit the surrounding pools, spas, bars and the local sights and vistas. The Queen Elizabeth is actually a 325-room, luxury hotel in disguise, and it cost its owners $50 million to doll up as a cruise ship. Gimmick, ahoy!
You have to give 'em some points for effort though. It's even got a miniature version of the boat down in one of the hotel's restaurants. It's got everything you'd expect from a luxury hotel, including indoor spas and exercise rooms, fancy restaurants, a great view and a variety of different rooms. The only thing it doesn't have? Class.
Check out the gallery below for more of the Queen Elizabeth Hotel.

I think that's supposed to be a time-lapsed, not bad Photoshop.

This has got to be the stupidest thing I've seen since the toilet paper dispenser with built in iPod dock and speakers.

If that's a really slow shutter speed (several seconds...maybe minutes?) for the "time lapse" the people should be blurred and the guy sitting up with his back towards the camera must have stayed still for a loooooong time.
Not sure what the goal of that photo was
on your cellphone!
