The 20-deck monstrosity, five times larger than the ill-fated Titanic, towered above Puerto Rico

And it is unsinkable.

Something I would have zero interest in sailing on. Not a big fan of crowds.

I trust it’s solar-powered

I've cruised with the Royal Carribean a few times starting with a cruise to Bermuda in 1987 with Nordic Prince. Always a first rate experience with this outfit.

The ships are massive and you never have time to see all of it. The customer service is beyond description. The food is incredible. They freshen up your cabin every single time you leave it, for example.

A little more pricy than budget lines like Carnival, but well worth it.

That's about 100 feet longer than a Ford-Class aircraft carrier.

How many tourist ports of call can handle a ship this size? Or will this just be an 'out and back' cruise ship where you just chug around the ocean for a week gambling in international waters?

What hasn't been mentioned is that John F’ing Kerry,the world's most successful gigolo, had an identical one built for him...and paid for by his senile 95 year old wife.

These top heavy monstrosities need just one rogue wave to turn it into a bad 70s movie

We have friends that love taking cruises for all of their vacations. Personally, I cannot think of anything I would want to do less on vacation than be packed in a giant floating petri dish for days at a time. You would have better accommodations and access to all the same amenities in a cheap hotel room in Las Vegas.

Jaymar Sansabelt slacks and suspenders were invented for just such a cruise ship.

As my dear old Dad used to say about cruise ships, "Imagine being lost at sea with a thousand aging, mumu-wearing, bingo-loving women on a large, cheaply-built ship with giant always-open all-you-can-eat buffets and free bars."

That ship was obviously designed by a committee. It brings the term “fugly” to new heights.

Almost a quarter mile long, wow.

My BFFs are Cruise Addicts and really love to go on these things. I know they are already booking passage.

A big ‘NOPE’ from me. Why not just go to Mall of America or the biggest Casino you can find, and save yourself thousands of dollars? I’ll never understand the fascination.

does anyone else get physically nauseous looking at these things? seems like everything that is wrong with modern society, all packed together into a combo shopping mall and all-you-can-eat buffet.

Grosses me out at the though of ever being on one.

I don’t see a max capacity for this ship. Did I miss it?

If it could fly, it’d be Fhloston Paradise.

Has anyone been on one of the luxury hotel cruises?

I get ads for the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

Their ships look like maybe 200 passengers or so.

I am curious about the price tag per day.

Went on one of these massive boats years ago - everything was too crowded, food was mediocre at best. Came back with either noro-virus or food poisoning, my cousin ended up in the hospital.

We switched to the smaller river cruises after that, Viking and American River Cruises - more expensive but definitely worth it, far better food, far less crowded and better service.
