With capacity for 6680 passengers and 2200 crew you're basically going on holiday with the population of Storrington, or for you poor souls living in lesser Sussex, you're off on holiday with the inhabitants of Polgate.

Brighton. NOT KEMPTOWN!
Or everyone who attended the first match at Withdean. That would be great fun! (Perhaps not for the Mansfield fans.)

I think you will find that steerage has now been re-branded 'Platinum Interior Stateroom' :thumbsup:

Well there are no where near enough lifeboats on those photos

Of course there are. Wouldn't be able to sail (with capacity) if it didn't.

Passengers: 6,680
Lifeboat capacity (each): 370
Lifeboats: 18

Of course, it's all about ticking boxes.

Wouldn't want to be one of 370. Or indeed, number 371 in a queue. Or staff.

A quick calculation shows that the lifeboat capacity is 6,660 so who are the 20 that get left behind?

They're in inflatables, like staff.

Apparently there are enough inflatable life rafts for everyone - which is handy as the yellow lifeboats can't be deployed if the ship is listing severely.

All very reassuring, I'm sure you'll agree...
