Looks like CONSTELLATION is the latest Celebrity M-Class ship to receive the new paint scheme. Only SUMMIT remains with the older lego-style colors. Attached are a couple pics.

I like it. The sheer line looks a bit strange, but prefer it to the original multi color livery. The navy and white color seems to make the ship appear longer and less 'chopped-up'.

that top pic is of constellation in Barbados last week tuesday berthed at the Break water.Today she was berthed the same place but facing the opposite direction(bow out of the harbour). If i'm seeing it correctly, in the second pic in st thomas summit looks bigger than constellation.....altho both are the same size.......so it would definitely hav to do with the two different liveries......but i still dont get it.

I like the older paint scheme too! It was fun, and different. But yeah, I agree it doesn't fit with the rest of the fleet.

No, it only has to do with perspective. Same reson the Princess ship looks bigger than Navigator of the Seas below:

Well I really like the new paint job!

I though that I prefered dark hulls on any ship, but in this case the increased use of white improves her look. To me she has lost her 'superstructure stuck on top of a barge' look.

Celebrity must have though that there was a problem to change the livery?

well i see wat ure talking about there in that pic but we all know that NOS is bigger than that Grand class ship..so the ship closer looks biger even though the other is behind and is the same size (in the case of summit and constellation)

Even when I see that view of the St. Thomas harbor in person it still looks fabricated... something about the color of the water and all the sailboats and the homes on the hills... and then the ships which look like toy models. It's very surreal.

But, in regard to the new paint job... it's about time!
