New "Norway" & "Pride of America" pictures & desktop wallpapers

Hello everybody!

Last Saturday I was in Bremerhaven for a cruise ship visit (M/V "Van
Gogh") and of course I did take a look at the beloved S/S "Norway" to
take some pictures and to see whether anything has been going on since
my last visit in September.

First of all, she's still sitting there with no major work underway.
The ship itself is being kept in a good shape, and from just seeing
her you couldn't tell whether she's laid up or just docked for a
visit. At night, she's completely illuminated, and she even sports an
illuminated Christmas tree, which has been set up above the bridge on
Sky Deck. What's interesting is that the entrance to the ship is
guarded by a Lloyd Werft employee rather than by the ship's crew.

Unfortunately, the weather that day was awful - stormy gusts and rain
all day - so apologies for the low quality of the daytime pictures
taken, which - along with two pictures taken in the evening - are
available he

To avoid confusion, please note that only pictures #21 through #27 are
new. Pictures #1 through #12 in particular are older pictures taken in
November, 2001! Please keep that in mind.

I have also published pictures #26 & #27 as desktop wallpapers:

For those interested, a couple of new "Pride of America" pictures
(very poor quality due to the heavy rain - I got soaking wet!) have
also been published:

#16 are new)

This does not sound or look like a ship waiting for the breakers. Maybe a
surprise coming?

That sounds encouraging, Raoul. She certainly looks as if someone is keeping
her in good shape. Sporting a Christmas tree~
how nice! I hope the captain on the NCL Crown's statements about her
returning, come to fruition.

I wonder if they're still waiting for the parts they need. I wonder
how long that will take?

So many questions about this ship and it's status.

Hi Karen!

My humble opinion is that they are rather waiting for the NTSB to
publish its investigation report before commencing any repairs.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Hi Raoul,

As always thanks for the updates and I agree, don't apologize for those
pictures. The illuminated ones are GREAT. She looks wonderful.

If you are talking about the Pride, the bitch is sold out for its
inaugural repositioning, damn it.
