Destiny, Fantasy (Carnival)... not so much. For one thing you are totally isolated from being at sea on the Carnival boats. It is real hard to find a place where you can actually see it. Walking down the main hall in the Destiny is like being inside a pinball machine. There are chase lights in the floor and constant "bing bong" sounds coming from the casino. The only way I got up near the bow was to hang out with the band and get up there through the crew compartment one night. On the Noordham you feel like a passenger on a ship. The Crow's nest bar is really cool. They keep the lights dimmed and there is a place right at the bow with a big binnacle compass. From the 04 deck (or so) you really get a sense that this is a ship moving through the water. Here's what a real cruise ship should look like. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...sney07b274.jpg The lifeboat deck is open, as is the bow and stern. -- Nice looking ship but I bet the passengers can't get out on that forward deck. Can you actually see out of those windows in front or is that all for the bridge? Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks as if only the uppermost deck is open to the elements and the sea. If so, it's probably to keep all the kiddies from falling overboard. Nothing quite like being on a cruise with 2000 of your closest friends, eh?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - You wouldn't know because you have no friends. Ever wonder why? |

On Holland America ships there is a bar with three floor to ceiling walls. It is directly above the bridge and has bigger windows. Casady OK, but don't most walls go from floor to ceiling? The Disney Magic has several bars, at least two with unobstructed outdoor views of the ocean. But, whatever Harry is going on or has been on will be a much better cruise ship...simply because. -- John H |
