First photo of Jade...minus her bow artwork
Jade seems to have kept her NCLA funnel trim and will gain her new bow artwork prior to her Transatlantic.
(Must admit that the 'naked' look is nicer than the artwork IMHO)

Yes, that is what she is sposed to look like once the bow art has been completed
 Not sure that I like it, tbh, but it is an NCL signature on their younger fleet.

I have dug out an oldish poll on this, I personally don't like the art on ships structure, although Aida's ships do look quite funky and they all match too, so not so bad really, its more of a 'signature' look on Aida.

I put my vote in. I guess if you are a cruise line you probably feel you have to do it since other cruise lines are. But does it need to be so big and bold? It makes me think it's more a matter of pride than anything else. You don't want the other ship to stand out more than yours at port!

Being subtle doesn't seem to be in the vocabulary of the designers of the hull art, does it?
Most are about as subtle as a housebrick through a plate glass window
