I don´t like the funneldesign.
The funnel is too big and takes a lot of deckspace. One third of open deck is funnel.

Open deck space on this class of ships is a premium. The interiors are very nice, though, but the "Theatrium" (a combined show lounge and atrium) doesn't work too well, IMHO.

Best,

I suspect most of us have seen this ship before.

Anyway, in answer to your question, I think it is an ugly ship, though not as bad from this angle as some others.

Beautiful? No.

Original? Definitely.

I give Aida credit for designing something different and memorable. They're not building the same old panamax designs as everyone else.

i really like it, but i'm still trying to figure hw they did such a bad job photoshoping it. You can still see a 'ghost' radar mast above the lido deck pools

The hull art looks like something from the movie Jason and the Argonauts. Tacky!! I don't care for ships (NCL) that have similar art(If you can call it art)

I agree with Frosty...not a fan of Hull art AT ALL!!! It is tacky and makes the ship look more like an ugly billboard than a ship!
