Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Spirit at sea At Dream Designs Colchester we are proud to be able to share with you, our latest drawing presentation, which took place just earlier this month. On February 14th 2013, Bradley Yesberg, a keen follower and supporter of Dream Designs Colchester, officially presented our brand new especially assigned drawing of Carnival Spirit to the Captain of the vessel on our behalf. The presentation took place during Bradley's very own 3 night cruise. Drew Santiago, Business Development Manager, Queensland & Northern Territory, Carnival Cruise Line assisted Bradley in arranging the presentation of our drawing and was also on board for the 3 night cruise. Bradley had the opportunity to meet with Captain Adriano Binacchi in the ship’s lobby on Deck 2 during the second night of his cruise, where he was given the chance to officially present our brand new drawing of Carnival Spirit. Other members of the ship’s crew were also present for the drawing presentation including the ship’s Safety Officer. We were told that Captain Adriano Binacchi was very impressed with our brand new drawing. Our original drawing which was presented aboard in 2011 is said to be displayed aboard the vessel in a crew area. So although we did not get any photographs of the first presentation, we proved to be successful in the end. Harry Cotterill, President & Managing Director, Dream Designs Colchester, said: " I was very happy to hear that the presentation of our drawing aboard Carnival Spirit was a success and that Captain Binacchi was pleased with our brand new drawing. It was extra pleasing to hear that our first drawing is actually displayed aboard! " He added: " I want to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to Bradley for doing such a great job arranging and presenting our new drawing. I would also like to thank Drew Santiago and the crew aboard Carnival Spirit including Captain Adriano Binacchi for their support and time.

During his recent visit aboard Crystal Serenity at the Port of Valparaíso he came across our drawing of the vessel displayed aboard. The drawing was taken aboard during our visit to the ship on August 2nd 2011. It was officially present to Vice Captain, Cato Christensen in the atrium at Dover. Guillermo sent us a superb photograph of himself together with our drawing which is displayed aboard in the Officers' Club! Guillermo Toloza, said: " Crystal Serenity was the last ship I had the opportunity to work on back on 2011, while she was on drydock in Hamburg. I had the opportunity to see her again, right here in my hometown Valparaíso. This time I brought my wife and daughter with me to show them all the amenities she offers to the very exclusive guests and also the unseen corners." He added: " When we were touring the Officers' Club my 15 years old daughter Noemí told me ' Dad, look at that drawing, it looks like the ones you showed me on internet made by your 'cyber friend'. I turned around and there it was...a drawing of the Crystal Serenity made by my friend Harry Cotterill." He continued: " I immediately asked my wife to take me a photo and here I am... on board one of the most luxurious ships in the world with a piece of art created by one of the best artist in the world."
