I agree Edmund that Arcadia always has looked better than QV, the all white colour scheme seems to suit the design better, the dark hull combined with dark glass of all the balconies gives QV not enough white superstructure, looks too dark overall in my opinion.
Sadly Arcadia has just had a refit which has seen a load of new cabins added to the stern, this has squared up the stern and made the ship even more boxy and less attractive, if they do the same to QV at some stage, as I suspect is likely as other member of the class have been so extended, then there is no hope at all for QV!
As for Norwegian Epic, I just don't understand! All that money, a ship so huge, a clean drawing board from which they could have created anything they desired and someone somewhere has decided by choice to make it look like that?! I wonder what the people of Norway think about the name of their nation being associated with such a ship! Am just glad personally its not British Epic or English Epic! Oh how I wish to design and build my own, show the, all how it could be done! ;-)
