The sentence "weighing in at..." is complete nonsense. The number refers to gross tonnage, which is a volume measurement and has nothing to do with weight. Using the given measurements one can roughly estimate the displacement at 27,000 tons, in agreement with the rule-of-thumb that in modern cruise ships the available space measurement in GT (gross tonnage, multiples of 100 cubic feet) is about twice the displacement in tons (metric, long, short is within the uncertainty of the thumb).
