Another query i had was that a lot of ships recently seem to look almost identical although not from the same company, could there be a reason why everyone seems to adopt this design, (note some of these pictures are of sister ships):

Even Quantum & Anthem of the Seas seem to have a similar design:

It just seems like we care losing taste of what classic cruise liners should look like, i can guess QM2 was the last of its kind, oh well.
