Honest Question on Not Liking the Ships

[SL6827]

So I do have questions about the designer who said that she had never been on a cruise ship because I swear I feel like she was the designer for the interior spaces not the ship layout. She was the interior designer for the Wish. She did the carpets and the decor and that sort of thing I'm not sure if she actually built the layout of the ship, which is the thing that people actually seem to have problems with.

The Wish ships are legitimately beautiful spaces. The colors and carpets and everything are a little in your face Disney for some, but are still really outstanding. I'm not sure that the same person who is picking out carpets (which she was) Is the same person who is design designing the actual structure of the ship?

I feel like she got a lot of blame for stuff like poor layouts. I would assume that sort of engineering fell more on the gentleman who had the actual wooden ship on his desk but I'm not 100%.

To make things even more complicated so much of the building was done during Covid. If they truly allow a person who had never been on a cruise ever to design a ship layout, I'm sorry that that's on DCL not her. But I really think she just did the interior design stuff and she did it pretty well honestly.

The colors, theming is beautiful. No doubt.

Oh, I agree, it’s DCL who picked people with not enough experience. That‘s on them, not the designers.

While the building was during Covid, the actual ship design (layout not interior) was well before. I think that phase is actually done in cooperation with Meyer Werft, but I am sure the customer (DCL) has a lot of input. Maybe the issue was really that Meyer did not understand how different the DCL product is from other cruise ships and that’s where the disconnect happened?
