Yes, I am indeed more of a traditionalist. I don't particularly mind modern designs, but as my eye moves over them I don't expect to see jarring transitions. The exterior of the 59CP is an odd (to my eye) combination of themes. I can appreciate purpose-built. And I can appreciate boats built more for aesthetics (thinking euro-design). This looks like a forced combination that nobody asked for.
Today's business success increasingly rewards evidence over whim. If NH doesn't have several of these pre-ordered, I'm thinking they skimped on that critical step. Unfortunately, they don't seem to possess Steve Jobs' talent for innovation outside their original premise.
