There was just so much refinement and attention to detail in her exterior design. just look at those small masts/stacks behind the aft funnel for example. Her interiors were great too.

I have to agree with Tomas. An unbelievable ship!

The finest looking passenger ship of them all. A real "Queen"
Sheer pleasure for the eyes.

WOW, look at her bow and follow it along to the superstructer front. The Queen Elizabeth 2 copied this but did not do it so well!

Unbearably beautiful/elegant/nostalgic!
Chris Howell on Jul 16, 2012 09:28 (10 months ago)
To be fair she looked good here as a traditional Atlantic passenger ship and as Norway the best looking cruise ship so far !

Fantastic Vessel. Must admit she looked hundred times nicer in this livery than as "Norway", and i am a Norwegian!
Clive Harvey on Jul 16, 2012 07:35 (10 months ago)
I think that she was more beautiful than Normandie, a view that may well horrify some people I expect.

...and yet again I am struck by her unsurpassed elegance. Just breathtaking. And also a nice touch to see the old Ocean Terminal in the background.
