In Waterworld (not the piece of suck movie featuring Kevin Costner, but the place where sentient boats rule the waters) heralds were sent to call all boats together so that a new leader could be decided.


Soon boats were gathering from all corners of the globe. In glorious boat-dances and waving of small, colorful flags, they communicated to each other their desires of a new leader. From quiet coves to cacophonious bays, debate began on what qualities a good leader would possess.

What are the qulaities of a good leader? Well obviously they would need to be of a regal stature and lineage. Able to shoulder the great burdens it must bear, but still able to aways push forward regardless of adversity. Oh, and it would need to be in the Caribbean during January 2009.
So after much debate the following qualities were decided:
Gross tonnage -- 116,000
Length -- 951 feet
Beam -- 118 feet
Draft -- 26 feet
Passenger Decks -- 15
Cabins (total) -- 1,557
Maximum speed -- 22 knots
I present to you, the new Crown Princess of Waterworld!

Okay... so it's not the biggest or the baddest. In fact it is really only an "average" representation of a modern luxury cruise ship. But since my butt was located on deck 8 basking in Caribbean sunshine, and yours wasn't...
I win.
