Found an image of her on the water today, don't know when it was taken. The two funnels are growing on me...

You can pretty much call it a sister ship to the princesses

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #28 on:** May 30, 2014, 21:52:13 »

Its to the same basic designs as the Royal's, except this one's slightly larger, but its not it any way affiliated with the Shiff's or Norwegians.

I was surprised to see that it hasn't been painted on yet, but that is probably the reason why.

Here's another image, taken in early May.

Patriotism, the last refuge of the scoundrel.

I reckon they are trying to appeal to all of the idiots who voted for UKIP.

Traddles · « **Reply #32 on:** June 03, 2014, 23:17:44 »

Why are they idiots? An awful lot of folks are fed up with the EU, so they merely rebelled. In most of the countries of the EU it appears to be the same.

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #33 on:** June 04, 2014, 22:47:16 »

Here in north Europe there is a lot of people against the EU as we had to pay a lot to bale out Greece and Spain - where I live there is also a lot of unhappiness due to the new fishing regulations and animal regulations (which I think is stupid as it makes comercial fishing somewhat impossible - those guys seriously need to get out of there offices) and UKIP did quite well seeing nobody knew about them until a few years ago!

1 in 3 people in the UK didn't vote for UKIP.

And Traddles, they are idiots because they didn't look any further than the anti EU agenda, voting for a political partg based on a single policy is stupid, particularly when, in the run up to the election, so many of the party's candidates were exposed as racists. If people have genuine concerns about the EU then there are other parties which have sensible policies in other areas who are also seekinh major EU reform.

The rise of the far right after a world recession should be ringing alarm bells in the heads of anyone with even an inkling of historical education.

Again most people are against the EU as we have had to pay so much out to help countries - without the richer countries in the EU Greece would have probably been brought by Bill Gates....

The Ferry King · « **Reply #37 on:** June 08, 2014, 13:12:43 »

Uh i'm trying to find the connection between painting a flag on a ship and being against the EU

btw, does voting for UKIP mean 'bye bye to Europeans living in this country?' -- Some random quote i found on the internet which sounded very extreme to me

1 in 3 people in the UK didn't vote for UKIP.

29.1% to be precise (minus N. Ireland), and for those that didn't vote, they had their chance. I think thats pretty damn close to 1 in 3.

Now please, if you would like to discuss this can you please take it to another topic, this is a cruise ship topic not Westminster.

Well well well, I found this image earlier on:

(http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/Dannypenguin/media/PampOLivery_zpsb1baf944.jpg.html)

Thats (roughly) what Arcadia, Aurora and Oriana will look like with the new livery, and tbh, I don't think it is actually thaaaat bad...

Adds a little colour into the cruise industry anyhow!

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #40 on:** June 08, 2014, 22:24:25 »

That could be expensive if Scotland leaves...
The new flag will contain something to do with Wales (finaly) and could look like this:

That hasn't actually been painted on yet, thats a photoshop!

Mind, it would be interesting to see how they'd fit that flag on the side, maybe just repace the blue with green?

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #42 on:** June 09, 2014, 09:13:59 »

But the new flag will probably contain green as the national colors of Wales are Red (but its already covering the flag - it be too red), White (too boring plus the back of the English Flag is white so it may not be fair representation) and green (it be the first time green been on the national flag!

Livery being applied

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #44 on:** August 22, 2014, 17:29:07 »

Bit early as we don't even know what Scotland doing - if they leave the Union Jack will be replaced with a flag without Scotland and with Wales in it!

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #45 on:** August 22, 2014, 19:10:12 »

They're obviously confident

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #46 on:** August 22, 2014, 23:47:57 »

It could be very painful for P&O if it a yes vote!

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #47 on:** August 23, 2014, 14:20:20 »

Surprised its the blue going on to be fair, as I think I have said before, the blue could just be changed to green and the red could stay the same

Jake_Savage · « **Reply #48 on:** August 23, 2014, 22:17:44 »

Regarding the flag; I mean no disrespect to any scots and point out these are not my personal pollitical views: I heard some people talking this week saying they don't think Scotland will leave . They would struggle too much financially. So I think P&O will be fine to paint it in.

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #49 on:** August 23, 2014, 22:27:05 »

Yeah I heard that but if they do it's going to be expensive...
