Fantasy class the one with the classic lines

[legion3]

Being a fan of the classic ocean liners and steamships of the last century, I think the Carnival Fantasy class ships with their classic high lifeboats and ocean/cruise liner design, with all of its cabins situated within the hull, gives these ships the "classic" clean hull lines of the older liners. (of course they are missing 2 or 3 more smokestacks ;))

 

Many of the newer ships today, while beautiful in their own way, appear to be high rise condos on a hull.

 

To me the clean look of the hull rising high from the water is very classic.

 

Also speaking of that I will be taking my first cruise since 1977 (Cunard Countess) and it will be my wife and kids first ever. Just planning to get our feet wet with a 5 day trip on the Carnival Paradise when it comes to Tampa. And I didn't pick the ship because of its clean lines :D.

 

Compared to todays ships the Cunard Countess looks like a large motor yacht.

I love the Fantasy class ships more than the others I've been on.

4 of the Fantasy class ships they added balconys to them and hung them off the hull.

Yes, that is true and IMO it kind of spoils the clean lines and good looks.
