IMHO, they all now appear to look like nothing but condos built atop a car carrier hull.
I, too, hate to see QE2 be replaced by these new designs, but alas, we don't own the lines. Just like every liner before her, they're built for one thing: to make money for the company shareholders & not the maritime enthusiasts who bemoan the fact that cruise ships all look like a block of flats.
Not to get on a new tangent, but whatever became of that fanciful idea from some dreamer to recreate a modern day Titanic? I remember coming across a website back when the movie took the world a few years back? I actually thought someone was smoking something then but never ran down what became of that hairbrained idea.
