Silverseas Whisper http://www.cruisemates.com/articles/feature/silverwhisper.cfm We recently traveled to Genoa, Italy to preview the two new ships in the Mariotti Shipyard, one getting very near to completion and the other only beginning to take shape
Silverseas Cloudbuilt in the Mariotti Shipyard.
So the Mariner is odd ship out. :) Besides the bathtubs, the Mariner also uses the Mermaid Pods, and I think NCL and others have had problems with that Pod.
