It’s getting ridiculous and definitely not for me.

It’s not pitched at the likes of us.
It’s clearly a family party ship where the ship is actually the destination.
RC are getting bigger and bigger so they must be doing something right.
It’s an impressive piece of engineering.

For Mr and Mrs Barney ?
Nah !
Empty vessels .. and all that

Obviously not aimed at my age but who knows some older people may like it. For me it's hideous and quite scary, the thought of a vessel that size and all the things that could go wrong. Imagine the life boat drill!

Not for me but great for its target market.

I would really like to try one of the bigger Oasis class ships before I hang up my cruising shoes. But it doesn't seem likely that RC will be sending one to do a summer season in Southampton anytime soon.
