I will probably never like any ship in Pullmantur colors as I hate the lettering on the side of the ship. The logo is average and you can still see the "X" behind the Pullmantur logo.
At least Pullmantur has updated the font they are using for the hull lettering. It's more modern and looks better than what they were using before, which isn't saying much.

I think that is a reason the Celebrity newbuilds may not have such a prominent 'X' on their funnels. It is easier to transfer a ship w/out a company logo to another division or line. As it is, it can pass as some sort of structural support.

I was not however, impressed with the design of the Zenith's bow which was big, and nearly flat at the stem. When we were in rough weather, the bow slammed into the waves HARD and the Zenith would shutter. The engines were hardly noticeable at all...very smooth and very quiet. Of course when brand new she was spotless.
I don't like the ship in all white, she just looks odd with her angular design.

Thanks for the interior pics. I like what I see. The interior is very bright and cheery and the pool deck is spacious and uncluttered. The cabins are in desperate need of art work, especially the inside which is pretty bare. Maybe that is yet to come?
I did note one change in the bathrooms... they shrunk the showers!

You'll find, on this board especially, aethestics of a ship are taken very seriously. Although they have little to do with how much fun you are going to have on your cruise, it is often a heated topic of discussion, even to the point before the first steel of a newbuilds keel is laid.

These discussions often remind me of the liners list debates over how many rivets are in the Queen Mary's hull or the shade of the linoleum used in the stairwells of the Cristoforo Colombo.

This sure as hell beats debating about what time the midnight buffet is or how much to tip!
