MSC seems to be one of the more aggressive though on borrowing ideas that appeared on other ships. NCL's Haven is MSC's Yacht Club; all RCI's ideas from Quantum etc. are there, and so on and so on.
In some cases the shipyards do claim ownership of some of the ideas and recycle them to other ships but a lot of what is showing up here came from ships built at Meyer or Turku in days of yore versus new builds coming from France and Italy.
At least photocopiers and scannners make it easier than when the Soviets were copying the designs for the SST and had to use their little spy cameras!
