The world's largest cruise ship, Harmony of the Seas, was in Southampton yesterday.
Looking at photos of it, I am underwhelmed. All new cruise ships for the last 10 years or so look exactly the same, i.e. like a barge with a massive apartment block stuck on top of it. The only thing that tells any of them apart is their size. I watched one going down the Clyde a few days ago, the "Caribbean Princess", which looked exactly the same as this latest monstrosity.
Compare that to a REAL cruise ship from half a century ago.....
