First it was rock-climbing walls, wave machines and skating rinks on board cruise ships; now real grass is the novelty attraction that passengers will find when they set sail.Celebrity Cruises claims the grass really will be greener when its new ship Celebrity Solstice is launched in December. advertisementThe top deck will be covered with half an acre - equivalent to more than eight tennis courts - as part of a “lawn club” where passengers will be able to practise on the putting green, enjoy a picnic and play croquet or bocce ball (the American equivalent of the French boules).The ship will have its own groundsman, who will be responsible for keeping the lawn in pristine condition against the ravages of salt, wind, sun and general wear and tear. The managers of Celebrity Cruises admit this will be no mean feat, especially as the grass and its irrigation system are expected to add about 150 metric tonnes to the ship’s weight. But they believe giving customers the chance to enjoy the feel of real grass between their toes will be worth it.
