If the ship rolls is it the conditions or is it the sea? Everyone seems to have a different experience.
However, it is not just weight that affects stability, but the shape of the hull. I bet the QE2 rides the waves better than Carnival Denstiny?

Fact: The QE2 was built to handle the rigors of the North Altantic. Fact: Modern cruise ships ONLY EVER attemt a tansatlantic repositioning cruise in the summer months.(See the brouchures!) They are built for slower speed and calmer seas.
These facts do not make the QE2 a better ship, or other ships worse. They are all built for different jobs.
The Carnival Density may be big, she may be wonderful, she may generally ride mooth, but she's not built for the North Atlantic! (She would not ride smooth in a stormy N.Atlantic!) That's why Carnival are designing a new 'Queen Mary'. I suspect that she will have a hull more like the QE2/original Queen Mary, with a hull with a deep draght unlike the Destiny/Grand Princess. She will also need faster propulsion, rather than 20 knots(modern Cruise ships) she will need at least 30 knots.
