Commentary: Residential Cruise Line's 'Magellan' topped our list, edging out the already-in-service 'The World' primarily due to size. Magellan is still under construction but when built will be a third longer and 76% greater tonnage. That extra space provides for considerably more amenities then The World or other ships being planned. Those who have traveled frequently on regular cruise lines (e.g., Princess, Royal Caribbean, NCL) will find the public features and spaces more familiar than the smaller condo ship competitors planned. With 11 different floor plans ranging in sizing from 1,000-2,256 square feet, Magellan should appeal to many buyers (except for those looking for really large units over 2,500 square feet).  Activities, Pool/Fitness facilities, and on-site conveniences are all as good as if not better than the competition.
