Wayne,

perhaps you should just post a link rather than poaching the photo.

Believe it or not, proper netiquette dictates that you should always obtain permission from the photgrapher and site as it steals from thir bandwidth.

Agree with you there is a link.....

Seeing the Noordam as the Thomson Celebration it's strange i have two HAL posters of here one in Alaska and one in Carribean and see theme everyday so the HAL livery looks much better.

Greatings Ben.

Having sailed on HAL's Noordam many times, I think the new livery looks terrible!

I still like the white and blue of the HAL ships.

OH MY GOD! What a hideous thing to do to a classic "newbuild". In these colors, with her cut stern and cutter-like bow she still had some liner lines to her. I have sailed on both her and her sister but this makes her look like a freighter now.

The dark hull sure concealed their somewhat odd bows. I always liked the look of these ships with their longish forcastles and tiered aft decks. The chopped-off square stern was fairly new when they were built and are much more attractive than on current newbuilds IMO.
