Default "Constellation" Photo Gallery & "Paloma I" Photo Review

Raoul Fiebig wrote:

Hello everybody!

I have just published a new photo gallery of Celebrity Cruises' G/T/S
"Constellation" with 98 pictures. All images have kindly been provided
by Mr René Sindt:

Also, for those interested I have added a Photo Review of Hansa
Kreuzfahrten's M/S "Paloma I", a small, fairly basic cruise ship
mainly marketed in German-speaking countries. The review comes with 35
pictures:

Thanks, Raoul

Photo 46 shows one of the problems I have with this class of ships.
You'll notice it is a picture of the main restaurant and you'll notice
the tables and seats are off to the right side while there's a
passageway on the left side. For me there are far too many tables here
and you see that the main part of the restaurant is beyond this area,
this "wing". This is one of the design aspects that bugs me about this
class, and there's many more. Also, anyone's who has seen an Infinity,
Summit or Millennium dining room has seen this one and I think it's a
shame compared to the creativity and differences used going from the
Century to Galaxy to Mercury. For me, this cheapens this class of ship
making it like the other class of ships. Yes, it is cheaper to maintain
it this way, and that, for me, by definition, makes this class feel
cheaper and mass produced than the more custom Century class of ships.
