The newspaper says the Queen Mary 2 is taller than the Statue of Liberty
- can generate enough power to light a small city, is longer and heavier
than an aircraft carrier - and it cost $800 million to build. It was
christened by Queen Elizabeth on Thursday 1/8. It weighs 151,400 tons
and has 1300 cabins, more than 900 of which have huge private balconies.
The average tab on a transatlantic crossing is $27,499. It has a
nigjtclub and a 1,094 seat Royal Court Theatre - a 3-story Brittania
Restaurant that seats more than 10,000 among other restaurants on board
- a Grand Lobby - a Canyon Ranch SpaClub and Illuminations room which
flaunts the first planetarium ever built for star-gazing on the high
seas - a Baltimoral Suite, a library and bookstore, and many other
surpises. I must check to see if the Titanic was larger!
