Icon of The Seas

This past week, the Icon of the Seas made its maiden voyage out of Florida. The more I read about this ship, the more impressed I am.
The ship weighs almost about a quarter of a million gross tons.
It is 356 m long, that's 1197 feet. The empire state building is 380 meters.
Icon of the seas is downright impressive, but it is also expensive.
It has 20 decks and a crew of 2,350 and a max capacity of 7,600 passengers. That's about 10,000 (TEN thousand) people on board.

I believe the cheapest ticket costs $2,000 but tickets go as high as $100,000

Here is tour of the ship.

That ship is downright amazing. Not my cup of tea, but that tour was great. If I were to go on that cruise, I'd not bother getting off on any island or anywhere else because the ship would have more than enough entertainment to keep me busy for the entire trip.

Imagine paying $100,000 for a ticket on a cruise ship. If I had that kind of $$ I would help out some people in need.
I also feel that cruises cab be bad for your health. With 10,000 people on a ship, you're pretty close together. All it takes is for one to board with the flu and it could spread like wildfire.
