FUNNELS

After looking at the carnival ships and I was think the ships would look better if they had two funnels. One where the existing funnel lives but also on about 3/4 of the way forward.

Kinda looks like something is missing.


whatya think?

I never thought much about it. Even though I have had a great time on Carnival ships I have always thought they have the ugliest funnels around, so having two of them wouldn't appeal to me. If they were designed like an ocean liner I could see multiple funnels, but they are just floating resorts like all the newer ships.

The only newer ships with 2 funnels are the Disney ships. And one of their funnels is a phony. It houses a bar and storage but has no mechanical function.
The reason for one funnel is modern powerplants, diesel generators, do not need multiple stacks like old coal and oil burners with their many boilers.

Form follows function?

I definately agree. I'm thinking the forward stack would be just for asthetics but just as massive.

Just for kicks, if I ever teach myself photoshop I'll re-create a forward funnel. Maybe on one of the destiny class ships, not the Spirit Class. The Spirit class funnels include the tinted red glass supper club roofs.

Destiny class is just a functional stack, w/o the reservations only restaurant no more, no less

I think they look better on the Spirit class vessels that include the reservations only restaurants. Standing next to it on the Legend, I was in awe of it's massive size.

I agree they are a bit strange looking on the Destiny class.
