Any more picture!?!?!

I'm booked on her out of FLL. Not a dedicated Princess fan but she looks nice enough on the inside to warrant a closer inspection.

Niccolo Costanzi who was the head designer at Montfalcone must be spinning in his grave. Or at least he rolled over to cover his eyes.

To think that the shipyard under Ing. Costanzi that could create such beauties as the Marconi, Galileo, Oceanic and Eugenio C. could 50 years later be launching this.......

Looks like she was designed by committee .... lets jam some more cabins here ... and here ... and put a slily bulge here and a bar here ... more revenues .... more revenues ......

I agree. This beast was apparently designed to minimize 'wasted' space. It's all about fitting in as many rectangular cabins into the superstructure as possible and eliminating anything that is not functional. Sweeping elegant lines are 'wasteful' and must be eliminated at all cost!
