If you look at the photo of the royal ship it looks like a freedom class.

No, it is either Mariner or Navigator.

That is what I thought when I looked at it.

Like I said, don't blame me. I used the search function before I posted it.

Oh I wasn't blaming anybody. I was just pointing out where the existing thread was.

No problem. Far worse is the number of people who are responding as though the report was true. Even without known about the Onion, the fact that 1) The Allure allegedly had a working canon on board (excepting of course those that fall under the category of camera) and 2) No other news outlet was report this, told me right away that it was fake. Even real news outlets have some fun at times ...

Nope. Apparently the Allure shelled the Carnival ship.
