How are they going to get out of the lift and how will they get the lift off fhe mattress?
If they have to get out of the lift, it is at it's lowest position. That means all the weight is in the middle of the platform and the weight of 2 man will not be enough to make the platform flip over.
They will have to jump to the side I suppose. Just step off. Maybe the can even paddle the platform around, I imagine there is at least one piece of rope to manipulate the platform when there is nobody on it.
The lift will go off, the same way it came on. Probably some sort of crane. I cannot imagine they just drove it on there, but maybe they did. Maybe even a forklift with long forks. There are forklifts that could probably handle that kind of weight so far away on the forks.

This is the type of thing that I look at say this can't possibly work, and the engineer beside me will look at me a little confused and say this can't possibly fail. Sure enough they're usually right. Usually. I still won't be climbing on there.

Trust them. They're engineers.
With epic skill and epic gear.

Well, it's always best to listen to the little voice inside, especially if it says "I might just die here". I completely understand why you would not be climbing on that.

And coming from a well off family, why is it wrong for me to buy stuff?
Not saying that is the argument you're making/defending. Just don't see a problem with helping people out.
It's not wrong, but a lot of people hate being harassed until they buy something.

"If it's stupid but works, it wasn't stupid" doesn't apply to safety or security.
Well, that's what I said, just with an attempt at humor

That looks to me like a drawing by the design/architecture team, but there is a real boat like that and it's a pretty close match for the design. Here's a video with drone footage from the launch; 1:39 you can see a view kinda similar to the drawing.
Does it have the slides that terminate over the ocean?

That's plenty of time for a quick visit though?
I don't know. When I go to a city as a tourist, I typically stay for 4 to 7 days before moving elsewhere, so that I at least have a very vague idea of what the place is like. One afternoon isn't enough time to do anything, you can see a museum and have a coffee, which is nice, but doesn't tell you much about the place.
I suppose it's another way to visit, but it's odd to me. -

Letters, punctuation, and spaces are just about the only ASCII in that art.

I’ve been invited on a few cruises.
I was in the navy, and immediately launch into a tirade about how top heavy and unsafe those things are.
“Well it’s never been a problem for us”
Okie dokie, I took statistics, so hard pass all the same
I mean the danger of capsizing in a cruise ship is vanishingly tiny, and the Navy has similarly top heavy vessels, like aircraft carriers. They have massive keels, and their displacement is so huge that rough seas mean almost nothing to them. You're far more likely to die in millions of more common activities than to a cruise ship capsizing. I don't really see how taking statistics is helping your argument at all, as statistics are on the cruise's side. Driving or riding in a car is far more dangerous.
Now, cruise ships suck for other reasons, like their exploitation of poor countries and massive carbon emissions. Arguing against cruise ships from a statistical safety standpoint is like arguing against airplanes because they could crash, regardless of how likely. The cruise ship excursions and activities on board are more dangerous than their seaworthiness.

I cannot for the life of me understand how someone could willingly boars one of those monstrosities
If you are talking about the shape (wider on the top than on the bottom), it's not really a problem.
If you are talking about any other thing, you are probably right.
-
Uh, sure. You might also fall on the concrete walk way around the pool, or on the lift, or the lift might fall on you, or any number of things.
Sure they might fall in the concrete, but that would be really obviously about to happen to have the fall.
Or like others have pointed out, they're using equipment designed for this, and probably nothing will happen lol
