Why can't they make a modern cruise ship that looks as majestic and awe-inspiring as the early 1900s ocean liners? Modern ones just scream corporate blandness.

In a few words, passenger capacity. You want to have the max amount of cabins you can to maximise your profits from the cattle... I mean passengers.

Also ocean liners had streamlined hulls to go faster since the airplane travel was only affordable as a luxury in the begin of the century. They were sailing relatively fast, while a cruise ship needs to cruise at a slow speed to simple reach the next port of call (one each day usually, they sail at night so you dont spend money ashore).

No, you just think anything that you don't like means it's something wrong with society. Most people aren't shut-in autists and enjoy taking trips.

Disney tries to blend the classic design with modern demand, it looks good, but iirc you don't get as many passengers so it costs arm and leg to get on a disney cruise compared to a cattle barge like Carnival.

Costs a fortune. Cheaper materials. Plebs got a say in things. Plastic was invented. Only old people use it.
There are some pretty lines but they are expensive. You can even cruise on big sail ships.

50 years ago, yeah. Way more young and middle-age people cruise now than retirees

Yeah, they're normal. You're the pasty fatso who would stay in their cabin all day. Of course you'd think it's fucked up that others socialize and have a good time without your approval.

Not him but i don't get the appeal of the cruise ships too. They are basically floating hotels, and they go to tropical islands n'shiet. Why wouldn't i just go to an island and save probably a ton of money? I dig the arctical cruises though, but they even have the option on traveling on a nuclear fucking ice breaker to the north pole.
Also, the cruise ship names are the gayest shit ever compared to old liners.

That is perfectly reasonable, but they aren't expensive unless you want them to be. The cruises I've been on stopped at at least two ports of call and offered numerous on-shore activities although I've never done them, preferring to go around on my own itinerary.

"Floating hotel" is a misnomer imo as modern ships are more like floating resorts with multiple restaurants, entertainment, and berthing options.

Fuck sake can this "SOVL vs SOVLESS" bs just die??? There is no meaning behind it other than "NOOO NEW FINGS CARNT REPLASE OLD FING!!!". These people are convinced that something being old makes it automatically good and any new technology, because it isn't old is soulless. It's so backwards

Let me know when you invent a hotel room that can visit a half dozen European countries in a couple of weeks. It might be easy to build if you put it on some kind of floating platform, to start.

beauty, you fool
the modern designer is not a creature that seeks to create beauty, it is a creature that seeks to create a twisted and workshopped form of "beauty" created not by honest expression but by discussion and focus group, the same hellish font that birthed the minimalist craze and the alegria art style. it is a place where corners are cut and cut until all you are left with is a sphere, or in this case a floating tower block with a pointy end.

Stop feeling nostalgia towards something you've never experienced. You just end up making up scenarios in your mind that probably never even happened. The Titanic probably fucking sucked.
