travelntreats Posted December 1, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks for the pics.... but I have to say that I am less than impressed with the decor and furnishings (other than the bathroom).... looks very boring and overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieastrosfan Posted December 1, 2008 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2008 How usable was the balcony? Prior to the conversion, some people around the boards have mentioned that it's extremely windy in that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the op comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abitaturbodog Posted December 1, 2008 #10 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I was able to look down on the balcony from the floor above. It's shaped kind like an uneven square, but with the longest side facing the front of the ship. There is a panel of glass that extends about 18 inches above the typical height of the balcony, so I can imagine that this would block most of the wind as you would be sitting well below the height of the glass. I was also able to peek inside the suite during the cruise and the photos make it look a little smaller than it actually is. I spoke to the person who was booked in there and he said that he had gotten a call from Carnival to upgrade to this suite about a week before sailing. I wanted to ask how much he paid!

I do have a pic of the ship outside with a view of the balcony above the bridge. Yikes, thats not looking very attractive. This is the kind of stuff that I had feared, randomly welding random bits and pieces onto the outside of ship very rarelt turns out positive for aesthetics. Any wider angle views?

veryhotred Posted December 1, 2008 #18 Share Posted December 1, 2008 wow..I think it looks mighty nice!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted December 1, 2008 #19 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I don't know, I just think it really makes the front of the ship look weird. Its like she has a oddly large forehead now, think cro-magnon. It would have been different if those front decks didn't slope so much, but I guess whats done is done. Its just reminiscent of what NCL did to the France (see below). Before: After: (Notice the new modular cabins welded above the bridge) Both images from www.ssmaritime.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthGrady Posted December 2, 2008 #24 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've sailed on that thing :). I wish I could have! As an aspiring ship buff, setting foot on an actual ocean liner is like visiting the holy land. Kinda like when I got to tour the Queen Mary and spend the night on board, I was in awe!

Kinda like when I got to tour the Queen Mary and spend the night on board, I was in awe!It was an experience. Very old world with great public rooms. It had been through a big refit before I sailed on it and it had an even bigger one after I sailed. I was lucky enough to be in a small suite. Too big to fit through the Panama Canal. Of course, many more now have that 'distinction.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
