The mail also goes on to say "The cruise ship was built in 2000 and set sail for the first time last year..."

Not too great at spell-checking either. Para 3: "... leaving the bridge looking less then (sic) impressive."

Instead of "Spot the error" we better try to "Spot the truth" , amazing how little research they do before publishing such nonsense.

Thanks Malcolm, a good find.

I wonder how the author thought that 'one of the world's largest ships', 'one of the largest ships ever built' goes together with 'more intimate onboard experience'? (but then, I guess the key to understand this is that the author did not think at all )

In defence perhaps ofthis poor writer, couldn't he be simply overwhelmed by the sight of the ship compared to the surroundings : "Tower Bridge is dwarfed"...
I don't know, but perhaps is A.Journey the largest cruiseship to have come so far in the heart of London ?

Well, it is the Daily Mail, as jetwet1 observes. It's pretty amazing to find anything accurate in it.

On the subject of this, I was at the stonewall convention last saturday and the rather ungainly looking Prince Albert II was moored against HMS Belfast.
