Rare BirdTravels Posted March 4, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Beautiful ship. Too bad you can't book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted March 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Very good pictures, thanks for posting them. Funny though, modern cruise ships hardly resemble ships anymore. They just look like floating buildings. I know it doesn't really matter that much what the outside looks like but the old ships had so much style.

Cruiser Bruiser Posted March 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Beautiful ship. Too bad you can't book it. But the photos do give us more information about Bliss, so that's good. Sent from my SM-G930T using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinHarvey Posted March 4, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 4, 2017 But the photos do give us more information about Bliss, so that's good. Sent from my SM-G930T using Forums mobile app From other overhead pics I've seen today, it has one small pool. I'm guessing the Chinese aren't big pool folks. So, I'd hope the pool deck will completely different. One would assume for Alaska, they'd have a retractable roof over the main pool area on the Bliss. As we all know, they surely won't have a 3 deck casino. So, other than the race track, which I heard was going to on the Bliss, I'm not sure what you can take away from these photo's. It's obviously not a ship most of us will ever board, since it's not intended for us at all. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted March 4, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We've sailed Alaska multiple times and the open air pools are always used. We've done most of the port calls in shorts and tahirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinHarvey Posted March 4, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We've sailed Alaska multiple times and the open air pools are always used. We've done most of the port calls in shorts and tahirts. You've been lucky. Weather stats show that more than 50% of the time it's cloudy. The average high in Juneau on the hottest day of the year, August 6th, is 64 degrees. So while there can be a number of days in the summer that are nice enough to swim. If I'm building something that I know can used used all the time, I'd put a roof over it. Just sayin.

I'm really liking how it doesn't have teh bar and Marketplace on the lido, opens up the pool deck so much more than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schiffgiganten Posted March 6, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hi, thank you for the praise. I will go there again, and make detailed picture. regards patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schiffgiganten Posted March 7, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hi, I was back at the Meyer Werft, today. I just took photos and then it rains. :mad::mad: Still three photos from my drone. On the weekend is better weather, I will do it again. Regards Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted March 7, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 7, 2017 This one still had her funnel missing, forward mast and some more ship stuff.. ;) There was a video on PBS TV about the building of these ships and with the funnel (smoke stack) and the other gear mast head and electronics having to be added outside the assembly building because of height limitations - think building a ship inside a bottle ! Thanks for the great photos - at first I was thinking you had taken them from a helicopter - but then it was revealed that these were (well) done from a drone !

They just look like floating buildings. I know it doesn't really matter that much what the outside looks like but the old ships had so much style. I agree. I started working on cruise ships in 2006 and my first ship was Radiance of the Seas (in Alaska). I LOVE the glass elevators in the atrium! But now, it is all floating buildings, just as you said. More balcony rooms, less charm. We'll see how 4 new ships from NCL will look like. They're supposed to be 144.000 tonnes each, but with only 3300 guest capacity.
