The world's largest cruise ship has begun its seven-day maiden voyage from Port Miami - carrying nearly the population of a small city onboard.
The Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas set sail today on a seven-day island-hopping voyage in the Caribbean before returning to Miami.
The $2 billion ship runs nearly 1,200 feet (365 meters) from bow to stern and has 20 decks, 2,350 crew, 2,805 staterooms along with room for 7,600 passengers.

Nope.
But cruisers shouldn’t take it personally.
I don’t fly, either. 😁
Not to mention drunken brawls involving poor impulse control negroes because someone cut in the buffet line. The fun never stops.
I have friends who love going on cruises but I never got the appeal
Oh yes, there will be crime aboard this floating favella.
I hope there are enough toilets.
“..The straight bow is interesting.”
Kind of a barge to haul people.
Yeah that’s what I thought......the general ignorance of people on Free Republic when it comes to cruise ships borders on comical.
But don’t take it personally
Comments from the passengers on the Icon
Yeah, I’ll pass…even if I could afford such a trip it would be risky for me with my suppressed immune system. I would be crazy to do such a thing.
Houthis in Cuba are waiting
Glad they didn’t name it “Titan...”
That doesn’t seem to end well.
Feggedabowdit.
Bro why not leave the TV at home and bring a bookM
Are you telling me that people have to first spend thousands of dollars to find out what that they just squandered it on is something they loathed?
That’s the height of idiocy in my book.
I haven’t been to Disney World, either.
I don’t feel deprived.
Or poorer.
Almost 13.000 people on board. That’s a lot of lifeboats.
Looks top heavy.
See “Poseidon Adventure”
What is included in your ticket price on these ships and what costs extra? You get those legendary endless buffets but those forty restaurants are extra? Tips and gratuities?
You don’t get irony, do ya?
These pleasure barges are Titanics waiting to happen.....you could not pay me to go on one of these cruises.

I wonder how large the brig is and if it is sufficient in size to contain the ferals
