Super ugly? Super beautiful? Something in between those two?

What're your thoughts about that monster cruise ship?

matt5674 · « **Reply #1 on:** October 28, 2009, 22:34:04 »

She is beautiful.

Cat320DL · « **Reply #2 on:** October 28, 2009, 22:34:36 »

I like It.

It could be worse. But it could be better.

Same here...

But The proof of the pudding is in the seeing...

Anyone know if she can get into Southampton?

I think the most beautiful among todays big cruise ships/ocean liners is Freedom of the Seas & QM2. Oasis is like on the border between beautifulness & ugliness, as I think the future cruise ship, bigger than Oasis (if that will be built or even if it'll be the bricky Freedomship), probably will tend more to ugly side.

I dont know what to think of the stern with the two sides and then the Valley in the middle

She's beautiful, I love the design!!

The first shot was nice, the stern is, well, um...

Oasis of the Seas will be a beauty, comparing to this monstrosity - the Japanese Princess Kaguya, which they're planning to built:

A "traditional" design of a modern cruise ship, just very stretched...

Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Kaguya_(cruise_ship))

*Cough* Length is 505 meters! *Cough*

Well, as I said, bigger cruise ships will tend more to the ugly side.

I would not want to walk to the other end of that thing

Kapn Jonah · « **Reply #12 on:** October 29, 2009, 01:32:28 »

Looks good, wouldnt want to be the deck hand for the stern mooring lines, all the way from the bridge to the very end $:-\$

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #13 on:** October 29, 2009, 01:50:14 »

That is an awesome ship!

Like the limo of ships.

matt5674 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 29, 2009, 01:51:14 »

Princess Kaguya is TOO LONG. I wouldn't be part of her crew or be a passenger on the monstrosity of a ship Princess Kaguya. Oasis of the Seas looks much better than Princess Kaguya.

From the last image Princess Kaguya II, which is a bit longer than Oasis, looks not bad though.

Nathan|C · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2009, 08:27:07 »

Not too keen on the Oasis i'm afraid, I guess we all have different views though

Why should she go to a miserable rainy place if she could cruise the Carribean or some other sunny paradise.

Because Ferryman can't go to Caribbean.

Why not construct floating cities? The world is overpopulated (too many people). Thy don't have to pay attention to the hull, just build that block or a floating skyscraper and use tugs to move the whole d*** thing...
I don't see the difference here. Why build larger and larger ships? Theres no meaning anymore to control them with human brain power because in the future you just have one major super-intelligent computer steering the whole ship...

And it's just about design here. This is design meant to take more people, more cabins and more of what you find in a city (bars, disco clubs...spas, fitness, theater).
Soon you will already see cruise ships that got their own opera, major spaces for sport activities etc. It's already on land and it will be a part of the floating giant cruise ships.

I don't see the art in cruise ships. I see modern architecture, but they don't need to put a major hull on them anymore. The art is gone. Now it's just a giant block on the top of the hull structure.

None of them are ships, they are all monstrosities
