Most of my ships looked like 1950s-1960s era ships though, especially Italian. My tastes have not changed much since.
To me this mostly looks like ORIANA shrunken down to ROYAL PRINCESS (ARTEMIS) size or so, which is a ship I would not mind sailing in at all (a smaller ORIANA that is).
But there is no reason for your lifeboat-tenders to take up three decks in height. And why does it say P&O Cruises twice on each side? The fact that QM2 says Cunard twice on each side of the ship annoys the hell out of me, almost as much as the needless '2' on the name.
Not that the drawing is bad, though the bow to right behind the bridge does remind me of the Viking Serenade, it's that I am just waiting for P&O to bring back the name, which will happen at some point and it is bound to be a complete disaster...At least on here.
I was constantly trying to draw a "new" or "innovative" Royal Caribbean ship but all of my drawings just kept looking like their original three ships with perhaps only one variation. I loved the original ships so much I was hopelessly dreaming that they would launch a similar hull but just with more innovation.
For example I would "redesign" the Sun Viking for her size but just have the Viking Crown Lounge face forward versus aft, etc. with the staircase leading down to the pool deck.
