“Eventually we will have ships that are 25 miles long, five miles wide and about 200 stories high.”
Royal Caribbean’s new “Oasis” class ships, like “Allure of the Seas, is almost 1,200 fett long, and 225,000 tons!
It is still too damn big for me to set foot on. I much prefer the small cruise ships. They can get into places the big ones can't and the crew provides much more personal interaction. They'll even let you up on the bridge while underway when you let them know you're a former Navy ship driver.
