The cubes remind me of the atrium sculpture on Imagination- or at least what I remember of it....I really doubt that she's the ship, just a passing comment.

I've not seen, let alone boarded, an UFO or set foot on a Carnival Ship. Not HAL either.

She's fairly 'old'.

Like I said, it was just a passing comment. The cubic lighting reminds me of the cubic centerpiece on Imagination. I just happen to find cubes an unusual shape to apply in the design of public areas and other interior spaces...

Pam, if I'm right and this is the ship I'm thinking of and if you allow me to give a hint, I'd say the shape (the pattern itself) of the thing is quite evocative of the name of the ship.

Let say the name contains 14 letters... if this is that ship.

Walking trough the funnel and ex ro/ro could also be a Belorussiya class ship.

Indeed Ernst. Quite a nice small ship, but a bit drab decorwise in places, especially the cabins. Comfortable, homely ship, with a lovely Show Lounge and seemingly good chefs. Hopeless for anyone in a wheelchair.
