Wowser! Wonder how many gallons per mile it burns?

About 65-70 based on what I read and it is roughly 3% more efficient
than it's closest competitor.

BTW you can hitch a ride in a typical cruise ship style cabin or suite
for ~$120-180 a day double occupancy. (11 cabins in various trims).
No pool, spa or casino and I doubt you are getting baked Alaska at
dinner.


And you probably won't get deathly ill.

I think the QE2 got something like 12 inches per gallon.

I did a little research and they say between 49’ and a 125’ per gallon.
Don’t know,if that is Imperial gallon.

They were also doing a lot more than just pushing a ship through the
water and it was faster. This was a city floating out there. They used
a hell of a lot of energy sitting at anchor.

Can hardly wait until the cruise ships start up again for real and about
a month later 500 passengers get deathly ill from some illness
contracted on that voyage.

That's a tiny bit longer than the old deisel powered carrier that
I served on. Much larger war and other ships exist
today.
