We are sitting in a rather wet Cartagena at the moment and this monster has just arrived about 100 metres from us.

Wouldn't fancy a go at single handed passage on her, though.

We took a cruise on her in the Caribbean a couple of years back. Very comfortable and yes it does sail quite well - much to my suprise.

Get her going quickly enough on the approach and she might dredge the entrance a bit?

I have seen two of those in Rhodes together. They do seem to sail pretty well, and given fuel costs I think they are a better way to take a cruise than some of the very ugly monster cruise ships around.
