Yes it is Blue Dream.. whoever it was asking, you can walk through there and get some great shots of the ships berthing [if you are up in time:

]. You haven't seen it before Lasuvidaboy, not mine anyway; I only looked at the pics today, and I'd not seen her before in that guise. She's smart looking indeed.

Black and wite are so overdone - so boring - why don't they paint one of these in the old Karageorgis Lines livery - a bright yellow hull with a red stripe.

From head & stern on I prefer the dark hull, however from all side profiles I think I prefer the white hull, especially when it doean't have 'pullmantur cruises' written down the sides, which totally spoils it imo. [I would also prefer your itin bmajor

far superior to the plain 'ole Med!]

I guess its a matter of "the grass is always greener" Pam.
The Med is an exciting destination for us and even though we have to fly half way around the world to get there.Folk down here are always pleading with P&O Australia for new ports of call,moaning

I prefer the dark hull, maybe this is because I have seen a couple of the R ships and the dark hull was their original intended look.

I also prefer some other color or well designed hull art/livery (not the NCL hull art), to be honest I think I’m in the minority with that.

Actually I’m not that fund of the R design, internally they may provide an more interesting type of “entertainment architecture” then the Farcus ships, but externally they are a bit boring.
What did amaze me is their size, they look far larger then that they really are.

Well with these new boxes they call ships, its rather hard to carry off a tradtional black hull. And the white is rather boring. I have to agree that IF it is tasteful hull art improves these big white elephants.

So very very true.. tell you what..let's swap homes for a couple of years The Med is only a couple of hours away from here and I can get there quicker than Southampton on occasion [bar flight security chaos]. I would have to come by ship though as I cannot stand hours and hours of flying. When we're bored with each other's 'environment' we can move back home
