The anchor on the Disney Magic weighs 28,200 pounds – about the same as three full-grown elephants. Each ship weighs 90 million pounds.

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved .

That seem like a lot of extra weight to carry but I suppose it is necessary to have it.

Thanks, Char! Glad to be aboard.
