so if someone could just provide a comparison picture showing a Polish TK tankette beside Allure of the Seas we'd have all the info we need :)

Judging by the Cent's I worked on when I first joined the Corps, that was what was holding most of them together...

This appears to be a picture of a ship towing a block of flats.

I thought the Titanic was supposed to have crached into an iceberg, not been run down by a floating version of Megacity 1.

If anything was ever misnamed then the 'Allure of the Seas'  is probably it, it's just about the ugliest ship I've ever seen.

I do wonder what the appeal is in going on a cruise in a ship that size.  I would hate to be in such an confind area with so many others.

I look at that picture and think "Well, that's proper rich man's caravanning."

I thought it was supposed to be the seas which were alluring, not the ship?,   :-\

Especially when the inevitable horrible outbreak of dysentery or whatever keeps hitting these cruise ships breaks out.

"Confined space" is relative in this context. We are talking about the equivalent of a fifteen story building, nearly 400 yards long.
