GirlyCruiser Posted March 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Does anyone know if Ventura has had the union jack and blue funnel paint work done yet. I have noticed that Oceana has been done so they must be working on the fleet whilst in ports. We are sailing on her in June and it would be nice to see her with her new colours. Thanks, Sam.

davecttr Posted March 19, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Oceana's bow graphic looks awful. It is not even painted correctly with missing patches. It needs to be much larger as well because whilst in port the open cable handling doors etc completely destroy the integrity of the design. The funnel design does not work either. The sunburst logos are lost against the lattice background. They need to add solid background colour. P&O should really employ decent graphic designers, not cheap ones :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted March 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You're spot on davcctr, the paint work on the funnel definitely does not work . Introducing a fourth colour ' yellow' to complement the Red/White & Blue is a miss mash. Not only that, it's a pity that P&O didn't come up with something more original, rather than copying it from a British Airways tail fin .:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very tacky and downmarket. Remove them I say. tally Ho. . Edited March 19, 2015 by P&O Lynn Knickers Go Lynn !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can only do it in sections because of limited time in port, plus I would imagine they can't do it in every port they visit. Be patient!

newbieafloat Posted March 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You must have booked a Saver fare if you have to paint the ship!!!;) It wasn't in the T&Cs, but if it earns me some OBC I'm game :D However, if the engines fail and they want me to get out and push, I'll politely decline :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denarius Posted March 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Oceana's new blue funnel looks absolutely awful. Saw her in Barbados in Jan. The old yellow attracted the eye away from the network of dark pipes inside. The new blue seems to draw attention to them, indeed it looks like a non funnel. A total mess.

DeckEleven Posted March 28, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Ventura returned to Southampton yesterday (27th March) - having been away for a year and a half. She is in her original scheme. Likely to receive the new look during a short (three day) outing when the ship generally empties at visited port. L B Davit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
