She might look big in Portsmouth, but dear old Lusty looks like a tiddler in Southampton!

OMG. My personal opinion Andrew is that the Eclipse looks pretty ugly. I went past her whilst on the Hythe ferry last year and thought ... what a strange low flattened out hull she has, compared to all that high superstructure on top, so not exactly a pretty sight. So out of proportion compared to other cruise ships. Apparently internally she surpasses many others though and photos prove that.

Would totally agree, she looks quite ugly, but I have to say that the interior quite makes up for her appearance. She's absolutely stunning inside.

fantastic photo you cant comprehend the size of some of these liners until you see them next to another ship. i bet poor old illustrious was having an inferior complex.i do think the cruise liner looks like a floating block of flats though.
