What is this noob ship? Let's see some proper sized ships.

http://www.akerfinnyards.com/cruise_vessels.cfm

"Aker Yards NB No. 1352, MS Freedom of the Seas, the "floating city" was delivered on 24 April 2006. The vessel is the world´s largest and most innovative cruise ship."

They're actually building a larger ship as we speak:

"The 220,000 GRT ship, a prototype developed under Project Genesis, will be delivered from Aker Yards, Finland in autumn 2009. The order means 5,800 man years of work for the yard. The contract includes an option for a similar vessel."

"Taking a huge leap of 43 per cent in size from the new record breaking "Freedom of the Seas" to be delivered for Royal Caribbean from Aker Yards in April, the new giant of the cruise market will be 360 meters long, 47 meters wide, 65 m high above waterline and accommodate 5,400 passengers."
