Thanks fore finding this site Thad.
Greetings Ben.

Thanks for exploring our site. We are a team of two people working hard at expanding our content (and working real jobs as well) so we appreciate the feedback. I do the illustrations so if there are any requests let me know. (There's a little bit of a backlog but I'll try my best).
We also have a facebook app we released this week that lets you add the illustrations to your profile as well as counters to upcoming sailings.
Check it out;

Right now it is too much a "work in progress" for me to use it (many ships I've been on are missing, it requires you to choose things like a "destination" from a very incomplete list, etc.) but it is a great idea and if the glitches get smoothed out I certainly will add it.
Let us know which glitches need smoothing and we'll break out the sand paper.
I am happy to see the users of cruisepage have discovered our site. I lurk here all the time looking for information. Its members are by far the most knowledgeable of any online cruise community when it comes to ship knowledge.

Craig,You illustrations are really fantastic! They are very detailed and so true to size. Your hard work is appreciated! Keep up the good work.
Ernie
Good job!
I do not think is is right to criticize and pick apart NauticalCities great work. Try to resist just for once. It is most annoying that you do so on tirvialities. Remember the LinersList lament of yesterday.
It takes a lot of work to do those renderings, and if NC has to work like most people the process is slow. He has contributed more to the cruise enthusiast community than you ever have or will. Other than a list of classic ships what have you contributed?

For me the ones that are missing are Bermuda and "Nowhere".
As for the missing ships, I am sure that is something that will change over time.

Maybe you could resist the opportunity to criticize me and rant about how you think I don't contribute anything for once!
If Craig is offended I apologize, but I assume that if he were he would have said so himself.

All suggestions are important and even though we know there are shortcomings that people see, it helps us prioritize the items on our todo lists when they mention them.
Keep it coming.
And I agree with Ernst - your site has a beautiful, simple design. It is one of the best I have seen in a long time.
NC, are you guys going to add the pictures of the older ships, IE Legend OTS, Granduer OTS, Tropicale?
The 3 ships you mentioned are on the site. I am trying to get the most ships on there as possible so you'll see gray outlines (ghost ships) until I get to illustrating them. There's a lot of ships out there but the ghost ships allow us to get the most content out there in the mean time.
The 10 invite limit is facebook's, unfortunately. They limit it to keep new app developers from mass spaming members. I think it's a daily thing so give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for passing it along.

Yeah, most applications it seems to be 20 so i figured it was something that you could adjust but evidently not. It is a daily thing so here in about an hour or so i will send out some more.
I appreciate all the hard work that you have put into this, thanks.
Thad and Carlos: can you make those compilations directly on the site, or do you have to do some DIY?
Thanks for the compilation of all the Vistas/Spirits!Can someone do a compilation of all the Carnival destiny derivatives please please?
