Largest Cruise Ships
 

For those who believe that bigger IS better . . .

  Some cruisers greatly prefer the new megaships, with their larger range of activities, multitude of dining choices, rock-climbing walls, ice-skating rinks and special areas for children. Other cruisers want a ship with all of the amenities, but with a more intimate feel than today's largest liners. In an effort to facilitate size comparisons, here are some of the midsized and larger cruise ships now in service.
