Does it have enough life boats to handle 5,400 passengers plus crew? If
so, where are they?
I don't think it's unsinkable (see "Titanic") So do they have that many
lifeboats?
just curious

Yup, the lifeboats have a total capacity of 6,660. *Each* lifeboat has a
capacity of 372.

However, I'd have to say in an emergency, loading a 300+ lifeboat
could be a disaster in itself.


Seems like another "Too big to fail" scenario.
Or, as ma used to say, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
Why don't more folks pay attention to what their ma told them?
