Norwegian Cruise Line and their Freestyle Cruising [NCL]
Norwegian Cruise Line and their Freestyle Cruising [NCL]
At our old forum board, we have an 8-page thread with news and details about Norwegian Cruise Line ( http://captainsvoyage.7.forumer.com/...pic.php?t=1637 ) which I would like to continue on here.
I therefore open the thread at our new home with an image of the Norwegian Sun captured in Ushuaia recently:

He looks VERY Swedish-y.... (kind of jealous of his life on board a cruise vessel).
Based on what you sent me, I dare bet that he enjoys his time on board 120%... which is very important for a healthy ship. I think he will charm many a rich Lady on a rough sea day with sea sickness pills and a waltz..

We are trying to create the a more complete story of Norwegian Cruise Line and are looking for great sunny images of the ships in the NCL fleet:
Norwegian Dawn
Norwegian Gem
Norwegian Jade
Norwegian Jewel
Norwegian Pearl
Norwegian Sky
Norwegian Spirit
Norwegian Star
Norwegian Sun
Pride of Hawaii
The images we are looking for should be of reasonably good quality, preferably from sunny days, and will be posted in the story of NCL on the CaptainsVoyage mother-page and accredited photographer (naturally).
If you have any good images to share which we could use, please send me an e-mail or a PM now.
Additionally, we are also looking for images of some of the Star Cruises ships:
Superstar Virgo
Superstar Libra
Superstar Aquarius
Should you have any details or important mile stones to add, we also like to hear from you.
What we have so far: Norwegian Cruise Line ::: 40 Years :::
Both please and thank you.

Norweigan Cruise Line announced details of the 128 studio cabins that will be on Norweigan Epic. These cabins will be 100 square feet and the smallest of any modern cuise ships. Basically the new cabin class is just a bathroom and enough space for a bed. There is a common "living room" available only to studio cabin passengers.

Had a nice visit with my "son" when he spent the night with us last night...
He had fun as a ship's doctor for 3 months, and will do it again sometime in the future.
The routine was either 3 or 4 days Miami-Nassau-Freeport- Private island-Miami. Got a bit boring after a while.
But he said the main problem was the constant flow of people with "issues/shipboard injuries" trying to get a free cruise out of the line!!!!!
And a LOT of almost out-of-control partying. He said the detention area is next to the medical center, and it usually had a few folks in there....
Especially the weeks of college spring break. He said give THESE kids a few ****tails, and suddenly girls' t-shirts were coming off............
Ah, youth....American youth at its finest...........

What's up with the Norwegian Dream?
Found some images of her at Gibraltar Port website, and strangely, her NCL livery on the funnel has been removed?
Photographs dated April 27th 2009.

Hi Jan-Olav,Originally Posted by pakarang
the NORWEGIEAN DREAM isn't in service for NCL anymore. I think the ownership has been transfered to 'Star Cruises' and now they want to sell the ship (in this case not to indian breakers like in many other cases
Rumors say 'Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' was interested, but I don't know more about that...
Currently the NORWEGIAN DREM is on the way to Piraeus if I'm right she will arrive there tomorrow or on saturday
Best regards
Eric
Thank you for reminding me why I do not cruise on NCL anymore.
Thanks Eric. That explains a lot. I guess she would be heading to Piraeus for lay up and possible sale then. Maybe Louise Cruise Line will have a look at her, though, selling such a large ship may not be too easy. Has she been listed for sale for a long time?Hi Jan-Olav,

One question concerning a former white swan of NCL... last seen operating in the far East under the name Flamenco or Flamenco I.... does anyone have any update on the status of this ship....?
A friend of mine today, well, a colleague actually, stated he had seen the ship in an image looking abandoned and "out - of - service"...

The Flamenco was never a real NCL ship. She was ordered as a sister to "Southward" and was to be given the name "Seaward", but during construction she was sold to P&O and given the name "Spirit of London", later "Sun Princess".
Shipspotting has a picture of her dated 13.06.09 and she looks pretty abandoned.

Ahaaa.... this is the one which was to become the P&O ship! Now, I remember!
Wonder if she is soon to be seen at Alang?

Yeupp.. I still get so confused over who is who among the "white ships" that I need to look it up every time. I guess I'll never learn it "by heart"..Ahaaa.... this is the one which was to become the P&O ship! Now, I remember!

Thought I should push up this old thread to the top by posting an old image which was taken on board the Norwegian Star at the end of 1998, just before the ship was due to depart for Australia and Norwegian Capricorn Lines. You may off course see me in the picture also...
I guess I don't need to say that the Norwegian Star was a former Royal Viking vessel... anyone remember which RV vessel, and bonus points to the one who can also correctly identify the port at which the image was taken...
