And We Thought Our Viking Ship Was Large..but Wow

 On Wednesday morning, 11/08/23, we sailed into the harbor at Roatan, Honduras.  It was another pleasant warm Caribbean morning without rain.  Just after we got tied to the dock another ship sailed in that made our our heads spin and our mouths drop! 


It was/is the cruise ship -- The Harmony of the Seas owned by Royal Caribbean International.  It is the largest cruise ship on the oceans.  We looked up some info on Google and this is what we found:  It is 6780 feet long (3.3 football fields).  It has 2745 state rooms and can hold 6410 passengers plus a crew and staff of 2400 more.  


It has four swimming pools and 24 elevators.  It has 19 decks and launched this trip out of Ft. Lauderdale like we did.  Other than a retired aircraft carrier we toured once on one of our trips, it was the largest mobile man-made object we had ever seen.  It made our 900 passenger Viking ship look like a baby.   Harmony 🚢                 Mars  🚣
