If you look at the site FAQ for Ships Under Construction you will see that in Item 3 with regard to Full Ships only, allowances have been made for the posting of pictures such as this.

Then of course thanks to everyone for their comments good bad and indifferent. I am not snobby, Kiwis are the least class concious but I do like nice proportions .... I totally agree some of the British Coasters were not the best but as we have said not all ships look the same to everyone thank goodness. We also have to admit that the prime job of a ship is to earn money not satify shiplovers.
Best of all the comments are those points made by Kelvin ... spot on each and every one.

By the way, will she still be at Papenburg next week? I'm on holiday and would consider a trip to Meyer Werft as I uppose Norwegian Breakaway won't be coming to Hamburg.
And yes... I like this ship and the hull graphics are fantastic!

That's truly a positive step forward in attempts of Norwegian Cruise Lines for better external esthetic looks of their cruise ship !

Good shot even with the light problems.
Another mega shoebox, ugly like hell, and as I call it A.P.T.A. ( Another Potential Tragedy Afloat...).
Sorry, but it´s my honest opinion about this more than 5600 people onboard.
Congrats. again for the nice picture.
My best regards.

Could I add a couple of comments here?
1. Jochen did a good job getting a good photo under the circumstances.
2. The ship is ugly
3. We need to remember the owners want a hotel that just happens to be able to travel from A to B. They have no desire to build a good looking ship, then figure out how to get people on board in order to make a profit.
4. If the most attractive thing about a cruise is the water slides, it would be cheaper to visit one of the many water parks around Europe & elsewhere.
5. The cattle are indeed getting all the money. Check out the EU's Agricultural subsidies!
6. People who have expressed a dislike for ships such as this are not dinosaurs.

It is accepted to say negative about new ships of any time without having folks flaming you.
It is NOT accepted to do likewise about old ships.
I do not see the logic in this, simply :-) Not to talk about fairness.
I like it, that here everyone can find a veriety of many types of ships of all categories, truely and I hope it stays like this.

All i can say is, if this looks like a livestock carrier then its a booning business so the livestock must be getting the money instead of the farmers

PS I wish i had the money to go on a cruise and a brilliant photograph even if our weather is dank and gloomy this year

Taste differs, i guess.

I am sure, many holiday-makers are going to enjoy their time onboard, to get away from the every day threadmills of their offices and enjoy a life at sea, with nice bling-bling interior, excellent food and intead of hurrying home to make food, to get it served. Although I personally prefer doing my journeys on cargoships going North, I think there is no reason for looking negative here :-)

However, I fail to see why a luxurious and comfy interior couldn't be accompanied by a beautifully shipshaped exterior.

No way would you even get me to set foot on the gangway.
Most of cruise ships, if you can call them that these days are just floating 'Bling' but this one isn't even that ..its just a hull with a vast block of flats stuck on it. I hate to say it but ... it will all end in tears one day.
Oriana was the last true and half decent cruise ship in my book.
