That's a big boat

The first of the 5 Solstice-class cruise ships is ready. And it's FREAKIN' HUGE, according to Billy Connolly.





Holy wow. The post at Gizmodo has some funny comments, my favorite being "How much norovirus did you say this thing could hold?"

I, personally, am not a cruise person. I don't like not having control of my itinerary. Instead of seeing 7 islands in 7 days, I'd rather just pick one of them, and hang for a week. But if this is your thing, it's got to be pretty cool.

Hell, if they had an 2-day-1-night stay in port, I'd probably do it just to explore the thing. I do love me some big gadgets. Infrastructure, baby.
