Here's a picture of the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, as seen from the Lido deck of the Carnival Pride. You'll note that when I was standing on the Lido deck (deck 9 of 11), I was a tad higher than the smokestacks of the Queen Mary. You have to understand that the Queen Mary was built to cross the North Atlantic during stormy weather. Cruise ships like the Pride are built to sail in calm waters. So they can be bigger. I wouldn't dare take a cruise on a ship like the Pride if I thought there might be a storm on the path of the cruise.
