I was on board Curnad lines Queen Elizabeth cross Atlantic from Southampton, Cherbourg. France to New York on Jan 1965. Visit Worlds Fair. Great experience as a teenager travelling by myself.
Costa Cruises doesn't operate ocean liners! Cruise ships have a higher center of gravity, a shallower draft and usually a more lightly built superstructure to keep them from being too top-heavy. This results in a lower profile that can take heavy seas more smoothly. There are many other differences too numerous to mention such as a more streamlined hull and more powerful engines resulting in higher speed. Oh, guess I mentioned them.
I have no idea why any person would choose to sail on one of these bloated ships. Do you know how many 1,000's of ships lay at the bottom of the seas ? Should a Titanic type of event occur again, how many of these 3,500 passengers will survive ? [Aussie in BC]
Ocean liners are seaworthy these are not disasters waiting to happen especially with an Italian crew remember the Andrea Doria where the crew left first leaving passengers to die

Bloated cruise liners, not ocean liners.
"Madam, the Italians have gone. Go and look for them."

I feel like this is a 50/50 hate or not hate cruise ships situation.
The only ocean liner in service is Queen Mary 2.

NOT OCEAN LINERS...
No the new ocean liners are ugly cruise ships
How are they ugly?
after looking some are good they are ugly due to being floating hotels not modes of transport unlike the QE2 or QM
Bla bla bla, straight out off hoi polloi
