Over the years a number of cruise lines have battled it out for the right to claim ownership of the biggest cruise ship in the world. A prime example of this is between Carnival and Royal Caribbean.
The Miami based cruise operator Carnival, owner of P&O Princess and Cunard was competing against its rival Royal Caribbean and had taken just delivery of the hundred and fifty ton Queen Mary 2 in 2003 whilst Royal Caribbean were planning to launch a one hundred and sixty ton cruiser the Ultra-Voyager, which left Carnival planning an even larger vessel.
Today the Queen Mary 2 accommodates 2,620 passengers and crosses the Atlantic from Southampton to Florida or New York in just six days, whilst the Freedom of the Seas (Ultra-Voyager) is registered in the Bahamas and sails seven day cruises from Miami to the Caribbean and back via Mexico, Cayman Islands, Jamaica and Haiti.
