The Independence of the Seas was in port in Southampton.
She's HUGE!

4375 passengers.
1360 crew members.
3580 cabins and suites.

5 bars, 4 elevators, 3 swimming pools, 9 hole miniature golf course, ice skating rink, and a full size boxing ring..

You can even get married on board.

  2. That would scare me.
    I grew up in a town half that size and I thought that was even too big.

  6. This sounds like a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Sham, and if so, I know basically what it's all about, as you know by now. Lately I've been down-sizing, however.... :)

  8. Tee-hee, we used to call those ships the __ of Disease. They're great ships though, like being in the West Edmonton Mall!
