Our picturesque seaside town is being ruined by a humongous eyesore – it’s a monstrosity and needs to go now
LOCALS living in a picturesque seaside town say it’s being ruined by a humungous eyesore.
The residents say the monstrosity needs to go as it’s spoiling their coastal views.
The second-biggest cruise ship to ever visit North Wales has divided opinion since it sailed into Holyhead.
Many dubbed it “awful”, while others said it was “very impressive”.
Locals took to social media to share their thoughts.
One woman said the massive ship was “hideous”, while another said it was a “monstrosity of the seas”.
NorthWalesLive reported another wrote: “I have seen better-looking cruise ships.”
One man said: “How awful….eyesore.”
But one local businessman had a different perspective on the 300-metre vessel.
He said: “It may be an eyesore to those of you who don’t pay to travel on it.
“These modern cruise ships are designed to be enjoyed from the inside, and they are certainly very impressive from that point of view.
“How do you expect a cruise company to make money if people just gawp at their ships from the quayside?”
Others dubbed the MW Nieuw Statendam, which can carry a whopping 2,666 passengers and 1,053 crew, “amazing” and “a great ship”.
And luckily for those who hated the ship, it had sailed off again within a day.
It’s not unusual for people living in seaside towns to be up-in-arms over their picturesque homes being ruined.
