I hate those flashy websites...
"Standing beside this majestic ship at quayside, visitors will behold a structure as tall as a 21-story building. She will be over a hundred feet longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall, over four city blocks in length. If she were afloat in the pool at the foot of Niagara Falls, her stack would rise over twenty feet above the rim."

Hey... I want to own one of these on the ship:
"Five duplex apartments which are two stories high and measure more than 1,650 square feet. Overlooking the stern, breathtaking sea views are provided via a two-story glass wall. Each apartment features its own gymnasium and balcony and butler and concierge service. For the ultimate in luxury, duplex apartments can be connected to a penthouse to create a stunning 2,220-square-foot living space, an accommodation choice simply unrivalled on any other passenger ship."
Got this stuff of this link:

When I used to live down that way I always used to see the big ships docked in Southampton. It's a spectacular sight when you're about 12. 
I'm now in Plymouth so I get all of the Navy ships going in and out of Devonport. There's a pub called The New Waterfront and it's beer garden is literally about 3 feet away from the water's edge (a big wall). We sat there in the summer and watched a load of them coming back from Iraq, including HMS Ocean, which is pretty farkin big, I can tell ya.
