-- Royal Caribbean International on Monday ordered the world's largest and
most expensive cruise ship, a $1.24 billion vessel that will hold up to
6,400 passengers. It's the latest step in the industry trend of supersizing
ships, which delight many passengers but are too crowded for other guests.

The ship, dubbed Project Genesis, will be 220,000 gross registered tons when
it is delivered to the world's second-largest cruise operator in fall 2009
by Oslo, Norway-based shipbuilder Aker Yards. Gross registered tons is a
standard way to measure a ship's size and is a unit of volume equal to about
100 cubic feet.

The ship will weigh about 100,000 tons based on displacement. A Nimitz-class
aircraft carrier comes in at about 97,000 tons.
