Pullmantur have added a video of the Zenith on their website which shows some of the interior of the ship.
Commentry is in Spanish.
Iberojet will be playing catch up even with Carnival behind them, however if they went slightly upmarket and thus differentiate themselves effectively (arguably they have better or more upmarket ships) they could well do better, be a problem if they transfer the old Holiday and Celebration though. Sorry a bit off topic but Zenith is in there ! You do wonder though if the market is big enough for all the players - these 2 plus MSC, Costa and others.
tomorrow will be ZENITH and ISLAND STAR in Barcelona. Would be nice to see both sisters together again. Could somebody take pictures please.
Thanks !Patrick
I think Island Star usually berths at the WTC? It may not be possible to get both ships in a decent shot only distant. A shame the BCN listings no longer show the berths.
thanks for the webcam-pic. I already saw ISLAND STAR at Muelle Adosado but this depending on how much traffic is there.
Wasn't there a webcam overviewing the port of Barcelona ?
Thanks for sharing cruceromania.
Why is 'Zenith' so large and blocky. Looks out of place to me. Malcolm I think Pullmantur's actual logo is one of the better ones:; just the rest of the livery doesn't go. I wonder if her interiors are finished.
Patrick the webcam on top of the Arts used to sometime point across the harbour. However I have not seen it in that direction now for quite sometime I often check it hoping, but seems they have stopped turning it.

I agree that the style of font used on the bow does not relate to the signage on the side of the ship plus it is to large. The original livery on the Horizon and Zenith just worked better w/their blocky lines IMO.
They really seem to simply take the cheap way out when they get new tonnage, no naming theme so any name goes, coat of white paint and a huge logo in red and minimal anything else, I looked at their tour of Pacific the other day on their website and one of the lamps shown is still broken and has the same shade that I noted just before her sale from Princess ! I swear the bedspreads are the same as well. Granted some but not all carpets have changed. From the tour it would also appear that other than the colour externally (and a big dent in her bottom!) Sky Wonder is exactly the same as she was when Pacific Sky even down to signage.
As it is, the name just has to come off and be redone, it looks really bad and 'childish'. From photos anyway.

Just shows how clever and well done the Celebrity livery was.
