An ugly ship???

This came up in conversation the other week at work on the bus back to the port. We were talking about driving up to the port (there is an exit ramp and we can see the ship when we get off). One girl said she gets excited when she sees one ship (I will leave the brand off to not sway people's opinion) because its so pretty and things the other cruise ship is ugly.. I immediately told her to take it back because I didn't think it was fair.. I personally don't find either ship "ugly" or "depressing"

Question to the story is do you guys think there is ever any ugly ships? Most brands have the same style... What are your opinions? I think if its a cruise ship, i'll be excited to get on it.

We are just talking about the exterior of the ships.

Yikes is right & I took the best possible photo that I could of her as the sun was setting.

I concur with most of the seamen here in favor of ships that look like ships, designed to move through the water efficiently. By contrast, some cruise ships have none of the streamlining and aesthetic characteristics present in "ocean liners" rather than a floating horizontal high-rise hotel with an attached resort. Example of the former: Disney Magic. Example of the latter: Norwegian Epic. NOTE: This is NOT about interior design, which is a separate function

Not too bad looking --

Except for the shoebox looking monstrosity on the top decks in the front.

It would be nice if, when they decide to add more space (cabins), they would at least design the addition around the ship, rather than just throwing a block on top.

Looks like a Cylon Troper from Battlestar Galactica.

Personally i think that the Epic is an ugly duckling. It's just my opinion. I have never sailed on her.

That's just one of the many reasons I really like this forum.

If there are trolls..... we have gotten rid of them before, we can do it again. Unlike FV, the mods and site management here keep an eye on things to keep it polite and non-personal.

Thank you all for the kind words. They are greatly appreciated.

It's one of a couple refugees from FV stalking BAK that doesn't have a home to go to.
