Totally agree. I would be embarrassed to be seen in that... I'd stay inside in the luxury rooms!

I hate to rock the proverbial, but there is a bit of me that quite likes it. Or maybe admires it for being so very different.

All of these "super" yachts are conspicuously consumptive atrocities so why try to make yours look like everybody elses?

At least it has given employment to many people during the construction and fitting out.
