I know that this will sound dumb and weird, but Queen Elizabeth seems longer, and taller than Oasis of the seas, but although Queen Elizabeth is smaller I think she's prettier.

Thank you, the Queen Elizabeth looks like she is going to absolute beautiful.

It may be a silly question but could you tell me why you weld coins onto the ship please?

This is part of an Itallian tradition. The 'Madrina' welds the coins during the ceremony for good luck.
Three coins were chosen - a half crown dated 1938 (when Queen Elizabeth was launched), a sovereign dated 1967 (the year QE2 was lanched) and a sovereign dated 2010 to acknowledge the fact that the new Queen Elizabeth is being floated out this year.
