It will serve as a multi-purpose space for tender boarding, al fresco dining, observation platform, etc. henrysea13 1 Quote

Funny Joe, do you know I've never been on cruise habit! LOL I will be sure to follow. It's weird, from the few pictures (live ones not artist renditions), it doesn't look like it's our cup of tea. Maybe I need to see the live blog, it didn't get my WOW up. It looked too "sterile" if that makes sense. Quote

I was trying to figure out how to describe her. almost like a cargo ship! LOL Again, I may well pass on this sailing, need to see and hear more. Symphony looks like a real cruise ship! LOL Quote
henrysea13 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Posted November 20, 2018 LOL think of it as a cruise ship with a nose job LOL Boston Babe and JLMoran 2 Quote
tiny260 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Posted November 20, 2018 The way the bow sticks out instead of in, I think the new Virgin Atlantic ship has the same bow. Quote

tiny260 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Posted November 20, 2018 I'm sure there are other bows of ships out there that look like this but the only other place I have seen it is in a movie, "The league of extraordinary gentleman" it was Captain Nemo's ship the Nautilus, lol.

I wonder what APEX is going to look like, hopefully not identical. You'll almost certainly see many new builds with a parabolic or straight bow design. There are many variants that have certain advantages or the bulbous bow, so it would seem unlikely that we don't see an increase in use moving forward. Boston Babe 1 Quote
