70 feet
On average, about one-third of a cruise ship's total height is below the waterline. This submerged portion includes the ship's hull, which is designed to provide stability and buoyancy. The exact percentage can vary depending on the ship's design and purpose, but generally, the underwater section is crucial for the ship's overall balance and structural integrity.
There is no gas tank on a cruise ship. There are fuel tanks, which hold the bunker fuel and they are usually located in the bilge of the ship. (Compartments below the waterline)
You may feel less movement on a cruise ship when you are in the middle of the ship, closer to the waterline. This area tends to experience less rocking and swaying compared to the front or back of the ship.
The height of a cruise ship's decks above water can vary significantly depending on the ship's design and size. Typically, the lowest passenger decks are around 10 to 15 feet above the waterline, while higher decks can be 30 feet or more above the water. The elevated design helps provide passengers with better views and minimizes the impact of waves. Specific measurements can differ between different classes and brands of cruise ships.
The average amount of cabins on a cruise ship is 1,500
Called, "draft," or "draught," this is the measurement of the part of the ship that is underwater (the distance from waterline to keel -- or the lowest point of a ship). It's the depth to which a ship is immersed when bearing a certain load; it varies as the vessel is loaded and unloaded.For example, a cruise ship on which I will be sailing soon has its dimensions listed on the cruise line's website; the draft is 28 feet, which means 28 feet of the ship is below the waterline. (That's Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas which, in terms of gross tonnage, is one of 3 of the second-largest class of cruise ships in the world. The largest is RC's Oasis of the Seas and its sister ship Allure of the Seas.)
The length of an average cruise ship is 1,187 feet which can comfortably accommodate up to 6,360 guests.
emergency generator is located in the above the waterline to mnimize danger of flooding

the average age is 73 to 95
Not all cruise ships are the same but the average size is about 25,000 tons.
About 800 to 900 feet.
