This 'blog' is more of a cruise 'web site' really. It is aimed at anyone interested in Cruise Ships, Ocean Liners, Ferries and River Cruises. I also have an obsession with the proposed 'Titanic II'. WaterWorld features cruise news, my ship reviews and many of my own video and photographic material. Enjoy!

RCI’s enormous ‘Icon of the seas’ ship, entered service earlier this year, offering seven day round-trip to the Eastern Caribbean. It’s almost impossible to compare the world’s most famous ship, the 1912 RMS Titanic, (famous for all the wrong reasons) with the world’s and biggest ship, the Royal Caribbean’s ‘Icon’. However, I like to try ..read more
