I have just returned from the Aurora, she is my favourite ship, I was dismayed to find that the beautiful bas relief sculpture of Lalique glass, was no more, this has been replaced by a poor imitation of a nondescript teal blue material, the waterfall is no more , the gorgeous cascade of clam shells, no more, replaced with three of the same colour and material shells with lights in the bottom, the basin which these original shells cascaded into no longer, filled with stones and horrid dingy grasses, it now resembles an under stairs dumping ground, I was almost in tears, the only part of that magnificent edifice is the staircase, after trying to find out why this had happened many times, I was eventually informed that the waterfall had damaged the wall, but what happened to the statue and clam shells, nobody knew, how terribly sad, this is a classic ship, traditional, unlike the horrid and ugly ships they are building now
