I've always like more than one funnel so I've decided to play around a bit.

Just for a comparison, Here's a Spirit Class Ship with a single winged funnel As delievered. I do tend to favor the Spirit ships.

HI. Would someone be so kind as to help post this pix? I can right click on the red X and get the URL and paste it in the address bar that way.

But I'd really appreciate it.

I tried it as a image but it does not show up, perhaps you could upload it to the CT galleries.

Ihave never liked the Carnival funnel, but strangely two look better than one, how odd is that?

"Tis simple, Malcom: As others have pointed out, it is vaguely reminiscent of "France."

Yes, I suppose it's deep within my subconcious.

I think Carnival's ships would look better with 2 funnels if they hadd a different funnel design(not that Im saying Onno's versions isnt good)

Great job Onno.

But i don't like the 2 funnel version. The funnels are not suiteble fore a 2 funnel ship. I believe an other desigh would be beter. I wonder what the ship would look like with an other funnel. (No not with that ugly Costa solution)

Greetings Ben.

They do. The Spirit ships are of a very positive and pleasent design. I'm a huge fan of their Spirit ships. I"ve been on Carnival Legend twice, and not by accident Very well designed which adds to it's popularity. One big positive is the even and free passenger flow. No accessing other decks to arrive at your destination.

I would agree. Spirit does look better with dual funnels than Destiny.
