Most of the "modern" cruise ships I've seen look like ungainly
monstrosities, slabs of steel with incredible windage, top-heavy, and
resembling wedding cakes. I suppose I am not a "good customer" for most
of these ships, since I view "transportation" as what you have to endure
to get somewhere you want to be, at least "long-duration" transportation.


That's why I like the 'Disney Magic'. It looks like a real ship, not some
top-heavy monstrosity.

JohnH,
You forgot what a real ship looks like. The Disney Magic is one of
those top heavy monstrosities.

Have to agree with you there. In our summer season, we get over a
hundred cruise ships and most look like big wedding cakes.
The Queen Mary 2 is truly a beautiful ship. Wish she'd come more often.

As long as it is well engineered and constructed who cares what a cruise
ship looks like from the outside once you are aboard?

I never picked a cruise line or ship based on the way she looks. It is all
about destinations and what is *inside* the ship. ;-)

OK. The Disney Magic is no Titanic, but it's a lot closer than the Princess
Line wedding cakes.

That boat looks like a Parker with a Fly Bridge.
