I bet they get a serious amount of Vpower Diesel points when they fill that up!!!

EDIT - just read that it has a 6.3million litre diesel tank, so at todays prices thats £7.5million to fill her up!!

When you do a "cruise" does the boat stop off at various places so you can disembark and go for a walkabout round new places?

Or are you confined to the ship at all times?

I know some tefal heads will/should have designed it properly, but it looks so top heavy to me - wouldn't fancy being caught in a caribbean hurricane in that.

Got to agree as well - can't imagine ever enjoying being on one of these cruises as I have an aversion to being surrounded by loads of people with webbed feet, fat Americans with blue and pink hair and the great smell of eau de wee...

In those promo pics were they trying to convey a feeling of space, or was there really only 5-6 people on board This sort of thing amuses me when the Beeb feature it on the news. They're usually all 'Ooh, look at this massive ship, isn't it impressive.........and in other news, some green eco-tosspot lying politician is wanting to scrounge another £50 out of everybodies pockets because eating baked beans makes us fart, and this contributes to anthropogenic global climate tax raping'. Shipping is a much bigger eco-nightmare than even air travel, but for some reason gets mostly ignored
