Ships

I'd love to spend a day exploring the ship, if everybody else got off. It's fascinating from a design/build standpoint, but cruising doesn't appeal to me. That doesn't reflect poorly on people who dig that sort of thing, I can see the attraction, just not my bag. The comments at the Daily Mail were mostly negative except for some guy named Allen, defending it like an investor or travel agent.

I heard on the radio during the night that five thousand people from the travel and tourist business are being entertained on board for three days so I think you've hit the nail on the head there!

The place I live has a population of about nine thousand so it's equivalent to the max number of souls on board this ship.

A cruise isn't something I'd volunteer for. At least I have some chance of escape here!

As of five minutes ago it's still moored in Southampton.

This.

It's a marvel, and I'd love to explore it. I loved exploring the USS New Jersey with about 100 Boy Scouts a few years ago. Would have been different to be on that ship with 3,000 sailors. I'd be spending all my time just trying to get out of the way.
