Those boring pastel colours were meant to please the (geriatric) American passengers, who dominated the cruise clientele at that time. The thinking was that, with these colours, "the passengers add the ambience". I took this to mean the ladies' blue rinses and their husbands' loud, tropical shirts.

person

@Clive, I agree with you 100% on all yr sentiments about this ship...she could possibly have turned out to be a beaut ? Brett

person

Needless to say but I have never sailed on her, though I had in fact made a reservation to be on her maiden voyage but then cancelled it in favour of a cruise along the Norwegian coast aboard Norway. I did, however, get to go aboard Royal Princess on one occasion when she was alongside the Tilbury Landing Stage. Whilst I liked the large windows that filled her public spaces with light, I did not actually like her internally. But I've never been a fan of Wartsila's fitting out of ships, particularly during the 1980s, all brass, glass, marble and pastel colours.

person

When I was on her, I had a top-class cabin, free run of the whole ship, including bridge and engineroom, and had the catering crew using me (and my 20-odd fellow passengers) as a guinea-pig for their new galley and dining areas. I had a great couple of days and, like most of the passengers on the modern cruise ship giants that most ship-nuts love to hate, I wasn't really too bothered about the external aesthetics of the ship.

person

I always thought her funnel is the only beautiful part of the ship which looks bland & unattractive.

person

To my eyes she always looked strangely fragile. That may be in part because of the seemingly randomly- scattered lifeboats. Also, I could never understand those odd, angular bits of metal just fore and aft of the boats, they just seem to hang there and serve no purpose. I agree that the funnel is most unattractive, as is the observation lounge structure below it. I really dislike the very angular aspects of her stern and the way in which she appears to sit on the water rather than in it. I saw her depart Southampton on her maiden voyage and assumed at that time that I would eventually grow to like her. I never have, though I do think she looks somewhat better now with the changes Phoenix Reisen have made to her.

person

I sailed on the delivery voyage of this one from Helsinki. Always thought she was a good-looker apart, perhaps, from that "Wärtsilä"-style funnel, which was coming into vogue at that time

person

So true is this quote but it more shipshape than many of the current generation of 'mega vessels! mr.dot.

person

Never was there a truer saying than "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...."

person

A beautiful shot of one of the most beautiful cruise ships ever built.
