I understand why these newer cruise ships look so top heavy to maximize the number of suites with a view but they look hideous. Why would they want to deflect the wind? Isn't the point of going on a cruise is to feel the ocean breeze?

depends on what your doing and where you are.

If your on a Alaskan cruise and you hanging out near the pool, a gail force Arctic breeze isn't what you want.

Most cruise ships steam at about 19 to21 knots and some ambient wind to it its more than a bit of breeze

Maybe for the increasing number of older boomers. With some older people it could be 95 and sunny but if the breeze is steady they are going to be cold.

Me - Did you enjoy the cruise.
Friend - Yeah, the food was awesome.
Me - Anything else?
Friend - Yeah, there was always something to eat.

You could put some tennis courts up there on the top deck. That would be interesting. Skeet shooting would be fun too.

Come back to me when they’ve solved the sea gull poop problem.

Just what I always wanted to do.

Take a vacation on a traveling apartment complex.
