They are really just floating power plants
down below with a hotel built over the plant. I was on a Princess ship to Alaska 4 years ago. The propulsion was electric as well. They said they used more electricity to run the hotel than to propel the ship.
That said, the Admiral likes cruise ships. I'm OK with them. But next year it will be a week on a charter cat in Tahiti!

- It's the engine room where all the engines and generators are.
- because it only has one engine room?
- I suspect a lot of cruise ships are built to minimum international standards.
