Of course, that was just a figure of speech, and we all know what abominations can be found at cruise ports around the world, even with that "eye of beholder" disclaimer... :)
There are few ships I consider ugly, this is one example - but I still hope she will be around for times to come for me to take photos of her while in HK.

I understand that the main problem she had as a cruise ship was that she was very slow. Mind you, there is no denying that she is very ugly.
