It ugly as hell. I see a huge maritime disaster in the future.

That thing is way too big! Speaking from experience the whole cruise thing gets watered down with that many people aboard. Not understanding why bigger is better in this arena.

On the opposite end of things, this will be our home for 7 days this December. Very excited.

Yeah I tend to agree bigger isn't always better... smoother in high seas but I HATE lines and crowds. I have been on a lot of cruises and some of my favorites were "smaller" ships

I don't really understand staying on a boat for your vacation, but then it seems a shit load of people do so they keep making bigger ones.

"Even after lowering its telescopic smokestacks, the ship rises nearly 212 feet (64.5 meters) above sea level,
while the bridge's vertical clearance is only 213 feet (65 meters)."

Would that be a "B" or an "S"?

You don't stay on the boat...you wake up every morning with a new port to explore. And yes, it is ugly...with the lines of a cement block.

I have been on several cruises with my family.

My opinion is they are more for the vacationer looking to really relax. On a cruise ship, everything comes to you. You have a ton of options in a relatively small area. You visit multiple cities and countries without the hassle of packing, unpacking, flying, etc.

I am all cruised-out. I prefer to visit one place at a time and really get to know it. I.e. get the locals' advice on the hole-in-the-wall secret spots. You do not really have time for that on a cruise when you port in the morning and have to be back at the ship by a certain time in the evening.

If you have not done one, though, I would definitely say give one a whirl.

6,300 guests + 2,100 staff = TOO FREAKIN' MANY PEOPLE! NO WAY! NO HOW!

When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

After I'm done with my 8mo cruise next year on the USS Harry S. Truman, I don't think I'll ever see a cruise ship as a vacation.
