While it may come as a surprise to some some ships have actually been sent from builders to scrap in the past more notably oil tankers as its cheaper to just scrap them than lay them up.
Personally while the bigger cruise ships offer so many amenities you feel like your in a mass resort when on board and it really takes away the experience of being at sea, I do much prefer the smaller ships and indeed the older ones like MV Astoria as they have the last vestiges of history and character.
