or does it depend on other factors.

If you want to be very, very conservative you should stick to about 300 pixels per inch max. So that would mean about 8x10 inches.
However, depending on other characteristics of each pic (great focus clarity, higher saturation, higher contrast, etc.) and the capabilities of the printer/lab equipment you may be able to get much larger.
It also depends how close the viewers will be. A poster size print may not look good up close, but might look fine from 10 feet.
So feel free to try out some large sized prints and see what you get!
Good Luck

How large a picture should be is not determined by the number of mega pixels it is deteremined by the pixel by pixel ratio. I believe to get the perfect size for your camera the equation is pixel by pixel size divided by mega pixels. I think...I wouldnt go much beiiger then 8X10 or 11X14 but that is pushing it.

Here's a website that has a good explanation of megapixels vs. maximum print size:
