At a length of 1,123 feet (we're talking nearly 400 yards - over a 5th of a mile in length) and 93.3 thousand gross tons we could probably argue that the Enterprise is big. REAL big.
The USS Enterprise, however is not the biggest ship in the world. The Oasis of the seas, weighing in at more than twice the tonage (225.28 thousand tons) is heavier and with 1,186.5 feet of length she is also longer so in ship terms there is no argument she is bigger.
This ship is big (so big, in fact, that it doesn't even fit in the space allocated for this blog - yup! That's big)
Not just bigger, but better (assuming you don't need to launch F-14s). Looking at the back end you can see there are two flow-riders where you can ride a surf board. Moving forward from the top flow-rider you can see a miniature golf course. Moving forward from the bottom flow-riders you can see the sports court where you can play basketball or compete in a dodge ball tournament. In that same area there is a zip line and a couple of rock climbing walls. They call it the sports section of the boat.
Forward of that you can see a number of swimming pools. Some are specially designed for playing volleyball while others are architected to work well for smaller children. There are hot-tubs for all and hot tubs for adults only - speaking of adults only, there is a whole section of the ship where you are not allowed unless you are older than 18 years of age.
Deep inside the ship there is a BIG selection of things to do. Comedy clubs, shopping centers, dance clubs, karaoke bars, big show theaters, work out rooms, a spa and even an ice skating ring.
Big ship. Big fun. Big vacation we look forward to.
