Name That Ship #8

[tahqa]

Good morning everyone! I'm back from a wonderful cruise on the Liberty of the Seas and thought I'd try something a little bit different today.

 

This is a scan from Royal's cruise planner for Europe and there's something not quite right about the image. Can anyone identify what's wrong with this picture? :)

Looking at the name on the side, I'd guess Independence.

There is no flags on the cable that run from the bridge to the tip of the chopper pad?

I'll give you a clue, the ship is not Independence of the Seas. Now, does anyone know why it's not? :D

The pinguinoos!

[Mydnite]

Are those Liberty's penguins?

[izzy10]

Indy does not have the "golf ball" starboard, forward. Also, the balcony glass goes all the way to the deck on Indy, it appears there's a space on this ship, hard to tell for sure in the photo.

The name (Independence of the Seas) on the side of the ship is in the wrong place and too long.

The pinguinoos!

 

Are those Liberty's penguins?

 

Yup, the penguins are the problem. By all appearances the ship is Liberty of Seas with Indy's name on the side. I'm not sure why RCL would have photoshopped a pic of Liberty to be Independence, but that's what appears to have been done. :confused:

The cruise lines do that a lot with the ships in their brochures and with the souvenirs. I even have a postcard with Noordam in the front and Westerdam in the middle.

I have to know. What do you mean by penguins?

Have a look on the bridge, you wil see a whole family of penguins there.

Maybe they photoshopped penguins onto the bridge of Independence. :)

 

My guess would be that the first brochure pictures of Independence were published before it was actually complete and they just never changed them.

I don't know why they penguins are there, but they're pretty cool nonetheless. :)

The penguins are there because, after hijacking the ship taking the NYC Zoo animals to Africa, and diverting it to Antartica, they realized the weather there sucked. They decided to limit their future cruising to warm weather sailing cruise ships.

Haha yep, the penguins caught my eye too. Do they have anything living on that ledge on the actual IOS?

[JandBR_PHX]

The other thing that's wrong with it is that I'm not on board :)

Yes! I saw that documentary; "Madagascar", right?

 

No wonder I never saw them. I would've had to go to the Ship Shape center to see them... yeah, like I'm going to spend any time working out. ;)
