This used to be the engine room.

Now this space is pure profit.

Even better, thanks to GE's compact

LM2500 gas turbine engine propul- sion, there are 69 more spaces just like it aboard. That's how many additional passenger cabins LM2500 propulsion yields over diesel engines in the typical 1900-passenger cruise ship.

Since the overall operating cost of either system is virtually the same, with LM2500, your bottom-line gets more of what you operate a cruise line for. Plus, your passengers get a smoother, cleaner, quieter voyage.

And the Captain, the most trouble- free ship of his career.

Sounds like a sea story? Ask the

U.S. Navy. Or the navies of 16 other nations. For more than a decade,

LM2500 propulsion has provided them more shipboard space, excep- tional reliability, lower maintenance costs, and availability for sea duty that's consistently over 99%.
