Filling space

摘要

An increasing number of ever-larger cruise ships are being ordered. The rapid growth both in numbers and size of ships shows the optimism of cruise oper-ators, but there are still wars to be fought as each seeks to fill their ships. In an industry dominated by the battle of the superlatives, the latest salvo has just been fired by Cunard. No sooner has RCI's mighty Voyager of the Seas been delivered than Carnival's subsidiary announced some details of its long awaited Project Queen Mary. The company says the it will be the largest passenger ship in the world. How accurate this statement is remains unclear.
