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?

Out and back cruises are against the law. A cruise ship leaving a port in the US must stop at least one foreign port before returning to a US port.

Almost all cruise ships use tenders to travel between the ship and the land for some of the ports of call. This will, too. (I personally hate this ports.) I think this ship is too large for me.
