Totally agree
-
i find they look nice :)
cruise ships are suppose to have sterns similar to those. Ocean liners have the better looking sterns, such as QM2, but Princess cruises ships are not ocean liners so....
-
what about this? this is what I call a cruise ship.

The emerald princess is not that bad. She doesnt have that silly bridge sticking out of the top of her stern
-
yes, the stern is nice, but its way to plain and boxy
-
boxy? the sterns I posted at the top of this topic are boxy!
-
They just felt the need to put a huge spoiler on their ship :P
-
Hello people. I am so bothered about stens of some certain cruise ships. I want to hear your opinion of the sterns below. My opinion is that Princess cruises were drunk while doing plans for this vessel, or the shipyard... dunno. But thy make me feel sick. They are the most DISGUSTING cruise ships in the history of civilised matitime!!
Agree, the most ugly end on a ship i ever seen! :-\
-
I mean, outside, it looks like every single other modern cruise ship unless you count in Cunards fleet, the stern practically ruins it. Inside, most of these ships have shocking great features and our really good.
But its the outside that concerns people these days.
There are so many cruise ships of the same design, that you just have to decide which looks the best, for not many people whould allow people without tickets inside.
So I don't expect princess cruises to earn alot from these shocking stern designs
-
Look like terminatior or something :P
-
The one in the second picture isn't so bad but I agree,
-
I wonder what's inside that "spoiler"..
-
I find the princess ships have nice sterns. I like the ships of princess, Carnival and especially royal Carribean. Although they are not as good looking as QM2 or any ocean liner, I think there is a certain beauty there in those cruise ships.
-

A nightclub
-
Ugly, ugly, ugly! ugly!
This is an apartment building laid on its side.
-
I agree, plain ugly,, hate them.
-
These ships where ugly, i think im gonna go and puke. I like cruise ships like the S/S Norway, the S/S Norway also got a beutiful horn, I got quivers down my back bone from this horn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt0YK46RM-0

SS Norway after her second refit like in your picture was really ugly, worse than the princess ships. However not as ugly as this, the planned NCL F3:
-
SS Norwayis a really nice ship.
Plus, the princess ships look like they have been grounded or something
And the horn is not that good for the SS Norway, and what about that huge snort to the end? i HOPE THAT WAS THE SOVEREIGN.
Oops caps lock
-

The F3 class for NCL cruise lines, will untill futher notise Remain cancelled due to big problems between the yard and NCL, that's the lastes news i have, and it's not clear if NCL will ever recieve any of the F3 ships, but they might not have the first build but maybe the second.

I agree, the sterns of ocean liners like Titanic and Queen Mary are better. Why toss out a round stern and replace it with a flat one?

Yes I know thats what I heard. By the way I like your sig, Aidablu, I sailed on her on a med cruise this year as shes now Ocean Village 2. lovly ship.
-
ok guys, its ugly i guess, but come on. the spoilers make more room for things onboard!
and....
Ugly, ugly, ugly! *ugly!This is an apartment building laid on its side.
you really should watch ur language. we all know *ugly is the combo of a word that i will not say because of risking getting banned, and of course ugly. if i were u i'd modify that post, so Terry doesnt see it.

That spoiler looks like a handle to pick the ship up by its back and carry it with you! ;D
-
agreed, the spoiler thing is sooo ugly I've been thinking that since my friend gave me a model of one when he was on it. ::) :P The SS Norway was a beautiful ship.
-
Kapn Jonah: Done! However, you quoted me, and I can't edit ANYTHING about THAT. Will you delete? ;D
The first time my wife saw a radar arch on a boat, she called it a "rollbar" :-X

No, no, no. The designers weren't drunk at all....one of them sneezed while doing the plans.....*see that upper deck of the stern, James? aa aaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaachooooooooooooo!!!!! woops....will that design do James? even though it is slightly bent?*
Jack :D
-
Jack, Its great to see you back, for good!
jack Is back!
-
superb!
Sequal:
James: O yeah thats fine, put those plans away and we will die for tonight"
Bob: Phew!
James: GO AND DIE
next day:
Bob: I want to carry on with the plans... there they are.
bob picks up papers
I don't remember haveing a pencil which draws in the colour of bogies... well its dried to make a hideous stern!
James: Goof Dais my goof old coworkers... I dwied yeshterday and gosh crosseyed.
Bob: Err, James, someone edited the stern of the Island Princess!
James: Weally? ish it good?
Bob: err no...
James: Wash u talking about u shilly billy? that ish a great shtern! we shall ushe it!!

Yes I know thats what I heard. By the way I like your sig, Aidablu, I sailed on her on a med cruise this year as shes now Ocean Village 2. lovly ship.
im glad you think she's a nice ship, as she was my first love :-* ::), but can tell you the ocean village cruises, will be closed by dec. 2009 :( and Ocean village II, and her sistership Ocean village, will be joining the P&O's fleet in Australia and be named Pacific Jewel :-\.
so now she's even further away :o :o >:( >:( :'( :'( :'( :'(
and im also glad you like my newly made sig, hehe
-
Ughh...It ruins the ship...Maybe the spioler is a handle to make it easier for god to send the ship to davy jones's locker! ;D

Microsoft,
First off; You are entitled to your opinion, as is everyone else on this forum.
If something is ugly to you, then it's ugly to you, easy as that. But I think you could have expressed your opinion a bit less rude, to be honest.
Try to express yourself a bit more respectfull towards others that might like these designs, and/or are actually involved with the process of creating these ships. They deserve better than being mocked, don't you agree? Calling them drunks, and making fun of the design process and so on, is disrespectful.
Thanks for your understanding!
Regards,
Fred

hmm? The whole reason I posted this topic is to see what everyone thought... I, yet again, am confused ;D
-
Yeah it's okay to have such a topic and it's okay to get such a discussion going. But calling ship designers drunks and mocking them a bit because you don't happen to like the looks of those ships, that's not very kind to those people that work really hard to create these ships, both on paper and for real. That's what I mean.
Nothing wrong with opinions, but I'm not keen on strong terms like 'disgust' and such. And just because it's not goodlooking to you, doesn't make the designers 'drunk fools', that's my point.
Regards,
Fred

Instead of being confused you should moderate your original post to remove the offensive and untrue statements. As one who was involved in all aspects of the design of the Grand Class cruise ships I can assure you that there was no one, at any meeting in any country who was drunk. The people involved were and in many cases still are highly respected and motivated members of the cruise/ship building industries and will be quite surprised when they learn about the unmitigated rubbish which VStep allow on their forums.

Mike, I think the very title of this topic invites the kind of comment we’ve seen from Mickeysoft and others.
Cruise ships make a lot of people sick, but that’s usually from eating the food, or failure of the roll stabilizers.
-
wait a minute. i went on the sister ship of the Golden Princess. these beauties are simply fun. casinos, bars, resturants, clubs and more. we disected squids.

SS Norway after her second refit like in your picture was really ugly, worse than the princess ships. However not as ugly as this, the planned NCL F3:
If you looked at the site those pictures came from you'd see that those aren't even the official desighns for the F3's. they say and I quote "NCL have not yet released an official image of their F3 ship. However, this image below has appeared on the internet (source unknown). Is it a genuine image of an NCL F3 or is it a fake created by somebody good with Photoshop? Is it an early ship yard ‘concept’ rendering or is it the final design? I have no idea if it is a ‘real’ rendition or not."
Once they come out with the offical pictures you can bash the ships all you want but don't do it before they even come out with the offical desighns!!!!! >:( >:( >:(
Personnally i don't like the desighns either and i would excpect more form NCL looking at some of there other ships (Except Pride of America of course ;)) Especcially after sailing on the Norwegian Sun (See my icon) and exsperincing there "freestyle cruising".

Dont call me mickeysoft, Mvsmith

Hey microsoft ??? ???
I've been to a visit on the Star Princess (sister ship to Golden Princess, and grand Princess), AND BOY OHH BOY, those ships may not be as beautifull on the outside, but have you ever heard of innerbeauty, DAMN she's nice inside, and if you realy want to seee ugly ships, i don't believe your in the right spot :-\ :-\, because from my point of view Even the Mighty SS norway, was a beauty.
BTW. have you ever been on those what did you call them "ugly" ships. as writen above, they are pretty nice inside..
Theres no ugly ships in the world, But there might be ships that you don't like as much as others, BUT no ugly ships...
Just my thoughts as a cruise ship spotter/lover..

Microsoft,, my post deleted. Thank you for changing your original one, it is a worthwhile topic for converstion providing it it worded correctly. Now I have no problem with it apart from the fact that it is still quoted in 2 other members answers. Perhaps you should PM them and ask them to remove the quote?
-
Perhaps you should have named this topic "Ships I don't like".. ;)

Great, I, do not have any problem with my origional post. I stil;l haven't forgiven you for insulting me. Its a NICKNAME, Chaps, the whole point of it is to tell you what to call the user. If it wasnt, we could all just be called "forum user" and thats that. Your deleted post was one which was much offencive than my origional one. So I don't mind the quotes.

Guys could we stop fighting and get back on topic?
