Worlds largest ship./Greatest PAZZY SHIP
 
http://newsbox.msn.co.uk/article.asp...e=windows-1252


The worlds largest ship(by a small margin)has docked in southampton.

Apparently the ships appointments and amenities are markedly
inferior to those of the QUEEN MARY 2.

I'm not much into these modern ships. To me, there is only one style of liner - the four pipes like Titanic and Lusitania. They just seem so majestic when they sail the seas. These modern liners have no majesty about them whatsoever.

I'm not going to vote on this topic, but I will say that I'm torn between three options.

The Titanic, the Normandie and the original Queen Mary.

Canberra for me.

Named after my nation's capital.

Served in the Falklands (QE2 did, but Canberra did it with more balls :D )

Had a great look about her.

QE2 definatly i mean you cant beat her for years of service + luxury also i think the Aquitania should be up there she is a sister to mauretania and lusitania serving from 1908 till 1950.

Four stacks on the Titanic- the fourth was only to make it look more imposing :D

those modern era cruise ships are lacking in style department - true to their size - big time. I see them parked in our harbour everynow and then, not so big, but similar ocen going liners, and they are just big, big white multi storey houses with front having a shiplike bow. There's absolutely nothing special to them - they all look very similar these days, and they may have 40 pools and 60 shopping malls inside, but when talking visual appearance - they are not very appealing.

titanic like liners with that beautiful stern and vertical nose, long and with 4 stacks, that's a beauty.

QE2: Got to love it.

What about the United States?

Now there's a pretty ship

Andrea doria springs to mind too, or what about Oriana yet another nice ship.
