message: Should this article be deleted? There is already the cruise ships category, which is more update to date, has correct links, and doesn't need to be updated every time a new cruise ship article is deleted. Splamo 21:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The "lists vs categories" debate has been going on for years, probably has a page about it somewhere. A category can't even be considered a plausible replacement until the list is completely filled-in, since category can't show what's missing. Even then, lists can be supplemented with annotations - in this case, launch date, operator(s), and renamings would be useful annotations not possible with categories. Stan 04:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. That's a lot of articles though...

thread_title: Deletion?

message: One major problem I've found with this list is that while each vessel has one article, the ship can have many names. Here, each name has its own wikilink, which can lead a casual observer to think there are more ships than in reality.
For example, Pacific Sky was known in the past as Sky Princess (MS Sky Princess-redirect), and Fairsky (SS Fairsky-redirect). This means that the ship has three entries in this list, becoming four if someone includes her post-sale name of Sky Wonder.
How do you suggest would be the best way to deal with this? -- saberwyn 12:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The launch date is when the hull hits the water, not when the ship is completed, delivered, or sets sail on its maiden voyage.  The launch date is months or years before the latter date.  Some external sites (i.e., cruisecritic.com) apparently don't know that, and routinely list expected delivery dates as "launch" dates.  This encyclopedia should not make the same mistakes.

message: Real-time mapping of cruise ship locations worldwide is available at the Sailwx ship location service.  Wikipedia article is Sailwx.  
:Note that it is possible to add a link to any cruise ship article that will show the current location of any ship that participates in the Automatic Identification System (AIS) tracking service, as nearly all do.  Examples of (non-cruise-ship) Wikipedia articles that do this are CCGS Hudson and the Deepwater Millennium floating drilling platform. Such links could, conceivably, be added into the table on the list of cruise ships to allow individual ship locations to be seen in real-time.  N2e (talk) 15:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Why has someone added ferries to this list? They are not cruise ships there are few ferries that would warrant being here maybe Hurtigruten and Birka vessels? The original list only included cruise ships.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.48.212 (talk) 07:08, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I sorted on date, and imagine my surprise when I find I have only sorted the A ships. I have to say the current offer "you can sort the table" is actively misleading.
Nothing wrong with offering one table per letter of the alphabet as long as it isn't made at the expense of a single sortable table.
This page urgently needs 
1) all tables joined into one
2) if someone really needs it: split out all 26 current tables onto subpages (maybe one for ABC, one for DEF etc)
Of course, the best option would be to retain the current setup as the single data source (although on subpages), and then use wiki/html voodoo somehow to offer a dynamically created master table (here at List of cruise ships). 
But this last wish should not be used to justify doing nothing. Again, we urgently need a master list where table sorting functions are useful instead of actively misleading. CapnZapp (talk) 11:31, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
