I am sorry to say that todays ships have become too big and impersonal for me and I am sure many past passengers. What the future holds may suit the NEXT generation, but give me a mid size ship which has personality, looks, a naughtical atmoshpere, and feels like a ship. 4 to 6,ooo passengers! Very little opportunity to meet up with newly made friends without the aid of a computor and gps. You can build them but many wont cruise on them for these reasons.
WOW I am extremely impressed with these new inventions on the ship and hope I maybe able to sail on one in the near future. Congratulations for the energy saving and environmental ideas to help save our seas and planet. Well done. Cheers Betty Elsdon
