at least the QM2 doesn't look like a container ship for people...


The outside is okay looking, but the inside is the knockout part.

For external looks as well as a beautiful interior, it would be hard to
ever beat the Normandie, which looked like a art object as much as a
ship: http://www.lategreatliners.com/france_normandie.htm
They even decked over the bow anchor chains so they wouldn't spoil the
smooth lines of the ship.
