The POA isn't that ugly!

Just uploaded some pics I took of the ship in nice sun light. Thought I would share them here.

Great photos James. Got to love that Nikon.

 

How come no posts on your blog for so long, and what happened to the twitter link.

Maybe he needs more donations to keep the website up. Internet time is extremely expensive, you know. :eek:

"The POA isn't that ugly!"

 

Yes it is. :p This ship makes the Epic look like a supermodel, although I truely don't think the Epic is all that bad at all.

 

The POA is right about on the same ugly level as those hidious Princess (Grand, Caribbean, Ruby, etc) ships and the horrid Costa Aurora.

Turquoise water...palm trees...cruise ship. What's not to like?!?!?!! :confused: :)

With such great pictures of the POA you are making it really hard on me, I want to go on her, we were booked on her for the July 4th 2004 first Hawaii cruise before her mishap and the Sky took over. I will cruise her some day.

 

Thanks for the great photos.

How could you not love the Pride of America? She's a beautiful sight, all right! Thanks, James.

I never thought she was ugly......

[NoPiratesPlease]

I never thought she was ugly......

 

Now I do. Somehow I can't help thinking "Cabrini Green" or "Coop City" complete with graffiti and dirty up close.....

 

But that's just me.

I'd never call someone else's pride and joy "ugly" -- however -- that oddly-proportioned bow does remind me of many of the photos at sites about bad plastic surgery results. :D If she had even another 20 feet of bow, her proportions would seem much better to me. Still, any cruise ship is beautiful, especially if I'm on her!

[dixielandings]

Who think it's ugly!!?? We sailed her last year and we loved it! It may not be the huge hunk of snazzy metal as some other ships but we thought she was beautiful. Of course, we could've been drunk on the beauty of Hawai'i, but I don't think so...

 

Trip of a lifetime!

Beautiful pictures, James.. Thanks for sharing. :)

Great pictures James. I'll be taking my own starting Saturday :D

 

See you this weekend.

great pics!!

[Carey and Kerry]

We think she is beautiful & with that short bow, it makes it easier to see more water for the cabins up front!

For me, I think it's the angle from which you view the POA that makes you decide if it's ugly or not. I love the side-on pics, but some of the pictures I've seen from the front do make it look like it's wearing a hat.

 

I've never cruised the POA, but I did cruise the other POA (Pride of Aloha), and loved it--my first cruise.

That's the best looking Troop Transport Ship I have ever seen.

Most of them are painted that ugly grey colour and have big numbers painted on their bows.

[Luv4dacruise]

Thanks for the pics but i gotta say, it looks like it hit a brick wall head on and nobody ever bothered to pull the bow back out. And what was up with the amount bumper rub off on the hull?.....That was far more than a weeks worth of docking marks me thinks.

 

JMHO of course :)

Ah look at every ship..they all have that! Paint it over then the next day its back to looking like that.

Great pictures - Thanks for sharing. Only wish I could have had time to get a few similar shots during our shorten cruise in Jan-Feb. Hopefully I will get that accomplished this coming Jan-Feb.

Aww, I don't think it's THAT bad :rolleyes:....I actually agree with James!!!!(but of course I also think the Epic and Princess ships look fine too)......and what is the Costa Aurora? I've never heard of that ship:):)
