jt1120 Posted August 13, 2008 #26 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I miss the "X." I think the inlayed one in the baclony glass is ok, but it's just not visible enough for me, judging by these pictures. Either that, or I think I would like to see an "X" on a funnel. Just my two cents. (Enhancement. God that's funny) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsea Posted August 13, 2008 #27 Share Posted August 13, 2008 From the renderings and artists impressions I've seen those are going to be the finished article. A little time will tell. It does appear from one of the pre-build impressions that the rear half of the stack was light blue and the front half dark, but looking at the ship now built I think it looks better all dark blue. The stacks are so slender compared to the usual Celebrity ships that an "X" would look out of place I think, but I like the styling cue that seems to be reminiscent of the old Meridian. It's starting to grow on me: Phil Wow! Great photo of Meridian, the first ship on which we cruised in '96. Thanks, Phil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessbriar Posted August 13, 2008 #28 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Looks like they added tinting to make the X more pronounced. http://www.depping-design.de/test/displayimage.php?album=89&pos=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emptynest1 Posted August 13, 2008 #29 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Great photo of Meridian, the first ship we sailed on. Solstice is beautiful, great photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinearchit Posted August 14, 2008 #30 Share Posted August 14, 2008 They look to small. Personally, I'd like them to be a little wider, which would help them stand out more. I think, even if they don't have the X on them, just giving them the white "fins" on the current ships' funnels would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinearchit Posted August 14, 2008 #31 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Just another thing I want to add... I hope these minor changes don't represent the "dumbing down" of the Celebrity product to a more RCI-ish product. For what we're paying for Equinox, I don't want an RCI cruise, I want a Celebrity cruise with an experience like we had on Century. I know Century is a smaller ship, but just because of the size difference the ship shouldn't provide a different X experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted August 14, 2008 #32 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I think the ship looks great! They do look a little thin but I still like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
