The ocean is my love. In the past, sailing was my love, as well as canal boats. I even love ferries.

This monstrosity would never make the list. Will anyone on it ever look at the ocean?

“These newer massive cruise ships look so top heavy.”

They also look like very attractive targets for terrorists.

2,300 crew for 6,400 guests? That seems like a high ratio.

My wife and I have cruised on both the Oasis and Allure, sister ships to the Harmony, and loved it. The ships are so massive it’s not really crowded except for some events occasionally staged in the common areas. We like the balcony rooms overlooking Central Park and Boardwalk. Watching the people across from you in the other balconies reminds me of the movie “Rear Window”.

French built? Does it still work if it’s upside down in the water?

Nimitz Class carriers, the largest carriers ever built, are about 97,000 tons. These things are more than twice the size. I think that is the best comparison. What it tells me is that this thing is probably too big.

Almost big enough to hold a Trump rally!

No thanks.

Give me a cabin in the Rockies and a cooler full of food.
