Into the fourth dimension: AIDAluna

I guess it had to happen. A cruise ship launching with a 4D cinema - the 4th D being where they shake you, spray you with water and blasts of air. The first film I was ever all shook up over was that masterpiece of the silver screen, Earthquake.

Disaster, death and destruction. Just what you want to take your mind off the fact that you are at sea, miles from anywhere on a lone cruise ship, at the mercy of the deep blue sea!

The cinema will be on AIDAluna, a 2,050-passenger vessel being built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, for German cruise line AIDA Cruises - which is part of the Carnival Corp empire - and launching next April.

The 4D cinema is a great idea on cruise ships - that's why we are launching it on our largest ship to join the fleet, MSC Fantasia, launching in December.

Up to eight passengers at a time can enjoy the 4D experience, which we are sure will be a hit with families and big kids!

I can't wait to see it when I come on for the naming ceremony.
