Hello

For information, the COSTA MARINA officially became the HARMONY PRINCESS today. The new owner is a subsidiary of the Korean Polaris Shipping Group.

As unattractive externally as she and her near sister Costa Allegra were, they had very beautiful interiors which may be gone or soon will be. Pity!

I like the new funnel and logo treatment, but wondering if CCL - Princess is going to have an issue with the name. If I were them I would.

I liked the COSTA ALLEGRA. We sailed on it in 1993 out of Miami. Excellent interiors, there was a bartender that looked like Groucho Marx. The food and service were exquiste. I just didn't care for the exteriors so much. Nice to know both ships will be together.
