I agree with your take on the lenghtening over Ben and Howards.
Rereading the press release and seeing the before and after picture,
along with your comments, I don't agree with the idea that it means
"another beautiful ship bites the dust". I don't think there is a
reason to get upset about this.


Where is there a picture?

The ship always had an unsual look. I'd add the stretch AFT of the funnel.
It looks out of place where it's located.

They're pretty close to Panamax. Stetching would preclude using them in
Alaska, unless they did a "rounding the Horn".

The possibilty is mentioned in the thread that they could hinge the bow
so it would tip back and fit through the canal.

Showing they can be popular doesn't speak to the quality of the onboard
experience. The comments of the people who did not find the quality of
to the claims reveal that Celebrity should be marketing themselves as a
value line, which is why they are popular, and not the premium line with
award-winning cuisine they claim to be. If the comment scores have
risen, I doubt they are from veteran Celebrity cruisers. Celebrity has
changed its target market while claiming to market to discerning
customers. That's my problem with both Celebrity and HAL.

Hi Ben,

I beg your pardon but I do not understand your reply. They are doing
better on their comment cards from the folks that are sailing with
them. Who better to rate them than paying customers? This is the
goal of any company along with becoming a financial success which they
are doing as a premium cruise line.

Best regards,
Ray

It is a drawing. I don't think it looks out of place.

Of course, there actually is additional public space.


Where? Sure some lounges were moved around or even named something else,
but I don't see any other place except a small part of the aft dining room
(which was extended all the way aft) where additional public space was
actually added. It's also possible the gym was extended a little forward,
but I'm not even sure about that.
