King of the ocean waves?

The largest cruise ship afloat in the world.

What does she weigh in at?

Some 142,000 tons, making her twice as big as the QE2.

Seriously wicked.

And a ship, not a shoe box. When at berth in Miami, it is the city's number one attraction.

Does bigger mean better?

It depends on what you want.

A wide choice of ports of call?

Aim smaller. The Voyager's hips are too wide for the Panama Canal, most Caribbean islands and the Mediterranean's ports.

So what's left?

Straight out and back circuits every week, following the same pattern of Caribbean islands.

So the ship's the thing?

Absolutely. Many passengers don't even bother to disembark.

Does that matter?

With 3,838 at full capacity, I'll say.

A floating hotel?

Think all-inclusive holiday resort that happens to move.

I'll bet the cabins are posh.

Some of the best at sea, attractively furnished, most with sea views and half with balconies.

Walk-in wardrobes?

And proper baths in many.

Is she a star?

The authoritative Berlitz guide gave it a four-star-plus rating.

What could I do all day?

Ice-skating in the West Indies? A round of golf 50 miles out to sea? Wedding ceremony in the morning, rock-climbing after lunch?

I get the picture.

You'd also get the biggest spa, the biggest casino and the biggest theatre afloat, too.

Any activities of the more cerebral kind?

Sorely lacking. But there's $12 million worth of artwork and a two-storey library.

That'll do. When can I hit the deck chairs?

Ask Royal Caribbean (0800 0182020). The titan of the ocean leaves Miami every Sunday calling at Haiti, Jamaica and the Mexican island of Cozumel.

Are the prices as high as the top deck?

Cruises start at £1,049, including flights, the first night's accommodation in Miami and port fees.

Are there more big ships to come?

Oh yes. These value-for-money giants are the Costas and Cancuns of the millennium.
