The biggest cruise ship "the Oasis of the Seas" is 20 stories high! The massive ship is "on its maiden voyage to South Florida and its home port in Fort Lauderdale," reports CBS 4 News. It just has a close call in Denmark where it barely made it under a bridge "by a few feet" and caused quite the spectacle as onlookers watched to see if it would clear.
