The Crown Jewel can reach a top speed of 21 knots with an ample margin that enable her to maintain that speed regardless of weather con- ditions. Sound and vibration levels onboard are extremely low. For example, in cabins, sound is below 55 db A, and the vibration readings are below three mm/s at the major- ity of the 200 points measured, and a no point do the vibration reading reach four mm/s. An innovative feature to the ves- sel is her waste disposal system. Organic wastes, burnables, glass and tin cans are treated separately, mak- ing it unnecessary to release waste materials of any kind into the sea.
