Not really a major increase in size. Appears to be some modifications of the existing supercruiser.

I find that these boats are too big to be getaways. More of a theme park on water.....over crowded and bogus.

Yep. More people, more crowded. If I wanted to go to Alaska, I would go to Alaska.

How stable are these ships? I look at their elevated superstructure and wonder.

Ironically, the bigger the ship the less crowded it seems. We found the events and restaurants to be sparsely attended because there is so much going on and so much to do.

Taking a cruise is on my bucket list. Have no idea if I’d love it or hate it, I have friends that absolutely love cruise ships and take one or two a year and friends that have tried it once and absolutely hated every moment.

Excellent. Very good description. I will use that.
I am a retired ship master, having been a captain of a super tanker and a super containership. Sailed third mate on an old trans Pacific passenger ship (not a cruise liner) and have taken a cruise on an Italian liner that was so old they burned it at the dock for insurance (year after).
To: C19fan
Wonderful for the company. Horrible for the passenger.

I wonder as well ... another Eastland disaster in the making?

They aren’t stable without augmentation devices. Look up some naval architect articles about them. Super top heavy, very low draft. They violate all kinds of historical rules.

Hold 3,000 more!? It’s just a more densely packed floating bug farm. Euw.

Ironically, the bigger the ship the less crowded it seems. We found the events and restaurants to be sparsely attended because there is so much going on and so much to do. It's not the at-sea part that is crowded. It's when you and 6,000 of your new best friends are all trying to get a cab to the airport once you return that is the crowded part.
To: mewzilla
3,000 is the extra tonnage not passengers.

The only cruise I would do now is a Danube Cruise.
