I had to look it up to make sure. The difference in displacement is due to the extra things the cruise ship needs to support both passengers and crew. Height is always being challenged. Think of 3 to 4 futbol pitches for length.

Yeah, for sure, and it got a lot crew!
That's just crazy long...
Eventually these ships will look like cubes-- just as tall as they R long and wide. As long as they don't need to pass through canals-- specifically, Panama & Suez-- they will be as wide as cruise lines desired. I prefer streamlined ships.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how far they can stretch the design. I guess when people learn to use new materials it can be taken even further.
