More Info about Spectrum of the Seas

During the maiden call, the guests — including press, bloggers, and travel agents — were given the opportunity to tour inside Spectrum of the Seas. Having seen a lot of photos of cruise ships online, I thought I wouldn’t be amazed anymore when I see one in person; but I was stunned. It was massive. It was like a huge hotel staying afloat on the water. I thought the ships I saw as a kid are already big, but those ships could fit inside this one, probably even a few of them. But it makes sense because Spectrum of the Seas is the largest cruise ship in Asia.
