...or two or three. There's no way I'd ever get on a ship that

Most of the "modern" cruise ships I've seen look like ungainly
monstrosities, slabs of steel with incredible windage, top-heavy, and
resembling wedding cakes. I suppose I am not a "good customer" for
most of these ships, since I view "transportation" as what you have
to endure to get somewhere you want to be, at least "long-duration"
transportation.



That's why I like the 'Disney Magic'. It looks like a real ship, not some
top-heavy monstrosity.

JohnH,
You forgot what a real ship looks like. The Disney Magic is one of
those top heavy monstrosities.

See what a real ship looks like:

Have to agree with you there. In our summer season, we get over a
hundred cruise ships and most look like big wedding cakes.
The Queen Mary 2 is truly a beautiful ship. Wish she'd come more often.
