We all think of the Titanic as having been a BIG ocean liner. Well, until now.
Size comparison -- Titanic vs Allure of the Seas Cruise Ship

Wow!!! I would guess that there will be a number of ports that this huge ship won't be able to enter.

Surprisingly the new cruise ships are very low draft.
They have a wide flat bottom.This makes them a handful in heavy crossing seas.Uncomfortable for the passengers as it returns to upright with a bang!

I guess thats why I prefer to sail with the Holland America Line. Their ships are of the smaller size, I'm thinking about 1,200 passengers appox. the only "rough ride" experience I had with them was in the Atlantic and the waves were about 15 feet high. That was enough to send me looking for dramamine at the front desk. LOL
