A ship too far?
The battleship Missouri was 70,000 tons.
I am sure that the 18 lifeboats would take care of all 8.800 passengers and crew.

Does it come with the norovirus preinstalled or is it aftermarket?

Horrific experience, and dangerous unstable design unless stability augmentation systems are being used.

That’s the plan - it’ll just take three trips.

The 2000+ crew use inflatables. The lifeboats are for passengers.

I took a cruise on Harmony of the Seas. Best ship Ive ever cruised on. It was so stable most of the time it felt like we were standing on land. The ship had so much to offer the days at sea were wonderful, and we didnt have time to do everything we wanted to try on board with a 7 day cruise. It will be hard to go back to a lesser ship. And yes, there are more than adequate life boats.

“The vessel has capacity for 6,800 passengers and 2,000 crew in 2,759 staterooms.”
Where on EARTH are all these people going, and what do they imagine they’ll find there that they can’t find at home????
