Your thoughts on NCL Bliss Hull Art

[Wedgie Wedgie]

Wyland's whaling walls are nice but no matter what anyone says, he's no Guy Harvey when it comes to the paintbrush. And I have seen their collaboration in Homasassa, FL.

Well, clearly that is where he got the idea.

Definitely not Guy Harvey!! No one compares to Guy Harvey, IMO.

I'm trying to decide if I like the hull art or not...thoughts?

IMHO you should make up your own mind on whether or not you like the hull art. The thoughts and/or opinions of others here should not determine what you like or don't like.

 

What??! What "recent incidents"? It is an Alaskan based ship.

 

Not Alaskan based...Seattle based.

 

 

 

I can't help but notice the "mother" whale balancing the "baby" whale on her nose. I'm no marine biologist, but that doesn't seem like a behavior one is likely to see when observing whales in the wild.

<sigh> The ship is sailing an Alaskan itinerary.

Lol. I make up my own thoughts. I was curious as to what others thought about it. I'm still undecided how I feel about it.

That was exactly how I read your original post. I have no idea how someone misinterpreted that. :rolleyes:

Although nobody tried to claim otherwise, thanks for pointing that out. :rolleyes: I'm certain that someone will come along and find that observation helpful.

Well, there is quite a difference between misinterpreting and misstating, isn't there? :eek:

 

 

"What do you thing of the Bliss' Hull Art?" is a query that seeks to learn the opinion of others.

 

"I'm trying to decide if I like the hull art or not...thoughts?" is a query that, based on the stated "I'm trying to decide..." premise, indicates that the asker seeks to base their decision/opinion on the results of the query.

What you inferred wasn't implied. Nice try though.

No, of course not...it was plainly stated. Seeing that you, as you stated, "have no idea", I do see how you misunderstood.

Everyone, including me, understood the original post. You were confused, which is your norm. The OP tried to hold your hand and walk you through it, but to no avail. At this point, I will give up as well. Have a great day!

Looks like ghetto crap with the big tag of the "artist's" name.

 

 

Wow haven't heard this word since Trump used it. I'm surprised that even being Canadian using the word.

It's probably supposed to represent the mother lifting the calf to the surface for the calf's first breath.

 

 

I agree that it is unlikely to be seen from the ship. It's also art so it doesn't have to be factually correct. The calf isn't lifted above the waterline as depicted in the hull art.

Nice find! I was not aware - it definitely makes more sense seeing that.

[Heather1972]

I was expecting more... especially down the sides. Too much white space!

That's what I was thinking...a lot of white space!

I don't really care for it. Maybe seeing it in person would change my mind.

[marelind]

I like it! I like it much more than the Jewel and Dawn class hull art, and a little more than the Breakaway or Getaway.

It symbolizes the first breath, which the mother has to help the newborn take. Something every marine biologist would clearly identify as being normal.

 

[blackwing]

I like the art but I'm wondering if there is going to be more of it, extending down the sides and at the aft. Maybe this was just a rough representation and there will be additional art (another whale or such) down the sides. Or how about some blue streaks or waves to symbolize water? Anything except those massive blank white spaces.

[Mrs. Squirrel]

I am underwhelmed.
