Got back from New York yesterday. Had a blast. One of the high points had to be seeing the HORIZON, ZENITH and EDINBURGH CASTLE depart Saturday afternoon. All three ships looked sharp, though I thought (and several of the other shipwatchers) that the EDINBURGH's red hull looked a tad garish, and detracted from the appearance of an otherwise still-beautiful ship. My best friend thought the Celebrity twins sat too high out of the water. Has anyone who sailed them available to comment on this? Are they tender ships? I think they are beautiful, and this is the first time I saw them in the flesh (so to speak).
Your friend was right in commenting that the Celebrity ships are really high. When I saw Mercury and Millennium, I was like whoa, they are like large buildings. I thought that they were nice ships inside and out. But I can't say that I have heard of Edinburgh Castle. What line is it apart of?
I have sailed the Zenith to and from Bermuda.She is not a particularly good seaboat. Asmany know, this short run to Bermuda fromNYC can be rough. As a frequent traveler toBermuda on the Sea Venture, Franconia,Statendam [1957], Volendam [1957], Veendam[1957], Royal Viking Star, and Westward,the Zenith is the poorest seaboat in this group of ships.I am happy to hear the Eugenio Costa'sbeautiful lines show up through the red paint.
But it was great to see some cruise ships. I have not seen an active ship up close since one of the Silversea twins was docked at Penn's Landing in 1998!!
