    She is more along the lines of ships we knew, similar to the Cunard Queens.
    But the cruise industry in some aspects is losing sight of the concept of a cruise. Relaxation andf the chance to see other places.
    More and more they are beginning to rely on gimics to fill them.

    The Costa Concordia apart, I am wondering just how long its going to be before ( perish the thought ) one of those blocks of flats capsizes / sinks for one reason or another. We saw how quickly the Costa Concordia went over and had she not hit the sea bed the loss of life would have been enormous. If one of those capsizes and / or sinks quickly in deep water, I hate to think of the consequences. A possible majority of elderly passengers and also disabled, what chance would they have in the stampede for the boats that would no doubt happen, we saw the chaos on the Concordia even when she had settled. When you see the sizes of the open spaces within those ships, all open plan through many decks, they would fill with water very quickly indeed leaving very little time to abandon ship. To me they are just very large casualty accidents, waiting to happen.

    #12, Hi Chris, went to Southampton for MN day last year and saw three of these ships depart and that was one of my
    first thoughts, it's hard to imagine what it would be like with all those alleyways it must be like a maze and if there was
    panic it doesn't bear thinking about, they seem so enclosed compared to the old traditional ships that we knew it would
    be like being trapped in a cage. cheers JFC

    Watched a prog on TV the other night about river cruises in China and Europe. As far as I could see there was no evidence of any life boats on them.
