Similar sized older cruise ships

[SeaDog-46]

Two older cruise ships seen in April 2019.

 

Seen in Yokohama - the attractive Japanese flagged & built Asuka 2 - ex Crystal Harmony 50142 gt built 1990.

Only 960 passengers with a high 52.23 gt/pax.

 

Contrast with the ugly Italian flagged & rebuilt Costa neo Romantica - seen in Vladivostok - ex Costa Romantica  53000 gt built 1993  &  rebuilt in 2011 with increased gt. to 56,769.

1600 passengers with a low 35.48 gt/pax.

About the size I prefer.

The problem with those is the lack of balcony cabins which drives the price right up on that category.

And the lower ceilings in some areas 🤔

Not good for tall people or the extra noise.
