Compare that with Adventure of the Seas whose funnel logo is very clear:

Ditto, the funnels are beautiful. I like busy designs for funnels. So i like the Fantasia and Oasis funnels.
Thanks for the pics Aker Builder.

Yes, but some people ARE prepared to pay a big pemium for such suites. Interestingly the cheapest and most expensive cabins always sell out the quickest on any ship. That's why most cruise lines buils some big suites.

Well I guess I'm a snob then. LMAO at the comments like the ones that you and a few others make. Just because I like to spend the money for a larger cabin does not make me or anyone else a snob. Maybe you should just skip a cruise or two and seek some help for your inferiority complex.

I really fancy these, but the balcony looks a lot smaller than in the artisits impressions, no where near lonh enough for the loungers etc depicted.

Doesn't everything on the renderings look bigger. I think we had that discussion before and how RCI stretched the renderings to make things look bigger.

What is fascinating is that people book based on renderings.

Or, perhaps, they will be just as big as the renderings. There are no humans evident in the picture to use as a scale.

I will reserve judgement about the size until the ship is complete. Same with all other areas.

I am not sure if you missed the discussion we had on here showing the original rendering of CP and the real CP. Someone even "un-stretched" the original rendering which looked much more 'real'.

This thread (link) is not the one I am talking about. But you see two CP renderings. One is the 'unstretched' version and one is the original (as RCI distributed) version.

EDIT: I found it.

As for the balconies of the Loft Suites and the suites themselves it is quite obvious that those artist renditions too have been stretched to appear larger than the actual product. Go back to these pictures and judge for yourselves...
