At 236,000 tons she is almost twice the size of the US Navy's super-carriers and almost four times bigger than the largest ship ever built for the Royal Navy, the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth. The Wonder of the Seas is the biggest ship in the world and she dropped anchor in Palma this morning with up to 7,000 passengers on board.
