Azura's promenade deck idea is... well, let's just say it's interesting. Good luck in high swells.

She's the sister to VENTURA and basically a Grand-Class, so it'll be OK.

Well at least we will be able to easily tell the Queen Elizabeth apart from the Queen Victoria...

QE also has a large windscreen (crown) above her bridge on the sports deck.

Ugh I could cry looking at that.

I like the Vista class over all but this one looks terrible.

No doubt the older sibling inherited the better looks. I really don't like the back-filled stern on new Vistas or those retrofitted. They always reminds me of a livestock carrier for some reason. I must have seen one in the past that resembled these Vistas.

Her profile is not too bad, but the QV is definitely the better looking of the two.

Not the best looking but in real it's not that bad at all. Similar to the Eurodam/Nieuw Amsterdam sea view deck. The real attraction of the deck is the huge size of it.

QE herself I don't like that screen above the crows nest or how they called the space with Cunard. The pleasing lines of the Vista/Signature class...... oh well we cane argue about it. They build here and we cannot do anything about it hope she will bring joy to here passengers.

Greetings Ben.
