Re: Big Cruise Ship Challenge

Might take a bit of detective work...the Carnival Cruisers have a web site with a calendar of which ship is in port, but there is no data for 2002 when I guess the image was taken, (Feb 2002?)
Maybe the top deck design would have clues...your ship has a white stack without wings, unlike the small images of the ship son the web site....

This is Labadee, Hispaniola - the Royal Caribbean private beach. This appears to be a Voyager family ship because of its shape and size but it's hard to tell in this low-res image.

Great find, JediBoy. The NS Savannah completely slipped my mind since High School. I wrote a paper on its launching and significance. At that time, I thought that all ships would be nuclear by 1978!

Nuclear Ship Savannah - Update

Alas, "Atoms for Peace" shall finally rest in peace:
From today's paper:

Quote:

Reserve ship to be decommissioned
NS Savannah of "Atoms for Peace" campaign may become a museum

By DAVE SCHLECK
247-7430

November 22 2004, 1:59 PM EST

FORT EUSTIS -- Work will begin early next year to remove the nuclear reactor from a James River Reserve Fleet ship hailed as the first nuclear vessel built for a commercial purpose.

Over the weekend, Congress approved $2 million for the first phase of decommission work on the NS Savannah -- NS stands for "Nuclear Ship." Launched in 1959, the Savannah doubled as a cargo ship and diplomatic vessel during its time at sea, visiting 20 states and 22 foreign countries.

Joe Seelinger, the ship's nuclear engineer in 1964, helped lead a media tour of the Savannah this morning and recalled visiting cities like Oslo and Copenhagen.

"When we'd get into port, they'd have tall ships sailing around us," Seelinger said. "There were lines of people that seemed a mile long, waiting to go on the ship. They really did a good job promoting us."

President Dwight D. Eisenhower championed the ship as part of the "Atoms for Peace" campaign to show that nuclear power had the potential to be peaceful and productive.

The ship's nuclear reactor was shut down in 1975, when the government removed all nuclear fuel, cooling water and other contaminated materials. But the reactor remains in the ship. The first phase of the decommissioning work will involve assessing what's left on the ship and developing a plan to remove it.

The Maritime Administration wants to spend about $25 million over five years to fully decommission the ship.

Seelinger, who retired from the administration about a year ago, said he is working with several people interested in preserving the ship as a museum.

The top one is a Holland America "S" Class Ship.
So she could be the Statendam, Maasdam, Ryndam, or Veendam.

My guess is Veendam.

The bottom and larger one is one of the Celebrity Millenium class ships. So it could be the Millenium, Infinity, Summit, or Constellation.

My guess is Summit, she is usually doing Alaskan cruises.

There are zero NCL ships docking in Port Everglades. That is a Princess Ship, if you look close you can see the Princess logo on the smokestack. That is a Sun Class, so it is either the Sun Princess, Dawn Princess, or Sea Princess. Don't go by the Princess website, Coral and Island are NOT sisters to the Sun Class. It's a shame when they don't even know their own ships.

The Sea has never been to Port Everglades so you have a 50/50 chance and my money is on Dawn Princess.
856feet long 106feet across the beam and passenger capacity of 1,950 (those are from memory so I could be wrong).

Dawn Princess Fun Fact:
Typically females get the honor of comissioning a new cruise ship, Princess made an exception to the rule to let Fabio do the honors. Fabio was onboard when the ship made her maiden departure from Port Everglades, he waved at us as we went by and women on the back deck fainted. It was a moment to remember (hah).

This is a Ghost Ship!

The other ship docked perpendicular off the stern of the Princess ship is the OceanBreeze, formerly Southern Cross.

Imperial Majesty cruise line would have had to spend too much money to get the OceanBreeze up to current SOLAS standards so they took her out of service, my guess is that she has been scrapped by now.

Talk about a groundbreaking ship with a history. Built in 1954, comissioned by (a very young) Queen Elizabeth II, built by Harland & Wolff, Ltd. in Belfast, Ireland, same place that launched the ill fated Titanic. She originally ran a route from Southhampton to South Africa and to take advantage of the favorable weather conditions, they moved machinery to the aft most part of the ship and positioned the funnel as far back as possible to add a huge sun deck in the middle of the ship. The pilothouse was positioned almost amidships which made room for another sun deck directly in front of the wheelhouse. This was genius from a crew's perspective as the watchstanders could now stare at the bathing beauties while driving the ship. Maybe not such a good idea from a safety standpoint. This was also the world's first Cruise Only ship as she made no provisions to carry cargo on board.

For more information click here:
http://www.maritimematters.com/oceanbreeze1.html

This is truly a Ghost Ship as she is now scrap metal. At least with GE I get to look at the grand lady one more time.

Whoah! I have been looking for the World's Most Famous Ocean Liner and there she is. I haven't seen her in person since she left Port Everglades for the final time just last year.

This would be the Queen Elizabeth 2.

Thank you for finding her for!

Someone made a comment about the QM2 why they used the giant number 2 all over the outside of the ship. They then asked wouldn't it be more dignified to use a Roman Numeral II instead. I told this person they can't use a Roman Numeral as that is reserved for a person, in this case a monarch. Queen Elizabeth II is the reigning monarch of the UK, so the ship is called QE2.

That would be the Caribbean Princess. She is one of the Grand Class ships for Princess, with major differences. She has one extra deck to increase her passenger capacity from 2,600 to 3,100. Her topside spaces were opened to the sun as this ship will never cruise Alaska. The decor is true to her name, very tropical in nature. I have never seen the Princess Cays in person, but I am guessing that is where the Caribbean is anchored in the placemark. Caribbean does year round 7 day cruises from Fort Lauderdale, 3 ports of call- St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Princess Cays.

If you check her bridgecam, she is enroute to Princess Cays right now!
http://www.princess.com/bridgecams/caribbean_bridge_cam.html

This ship has the largest TV afloat. 300 Square Feet of TV.

Ok, I am still working on the bigger one which I thought was Costa Victoria, but I'm pretty sure that's not her.

I have a 100% match on the smaller one.

This one drove me crazy because I couldn't figure out why the color was blurred out near her funnel. Then I noticed she had a crown lounge like a RCCL ship, but no current RCCL ship has a rounded stern. I started looking at former RCCL ships and came up with the ex Song of America. She is currently named Thomson Destiny but at the time of the picture she was probably still running for Sun Lines as the Sunbird.

You could put a marker on her if you found her, but it might be months before the image database is updated and sometimes with the update the ship might end up back in the same place. I think we are still a few years away from live satellite imagery.

The ship is either the Dawn or Sun Princess. Looking at the funnel and size of the ship, it could be either one. Without and exact date the picture was taken it will be hard to tell. Both of the ships are on Caribbean itineraries during the winter months and then cruise Alaska during the summer.

Vision of the Seas?

Here's a ship docked at San Pedro (Los Angeles). Based on the length and the deck layout, it appears to be a Royal Caribbean Vision class ship. Based on the fact that it's in LA, I'm guessing it's the Vision of the Seas. Can anyone either back me up or refute that guess?

Re: Here's a double!

Before the Princess Cruise Line bought it, it was called Little Stirrup Cay (or Key) and was owned by Neil Ruzic - the grandfather of a close friend. So this Spring Break, us and four of our best friends had the island more or less to ourself after the cruise ships left at 4 (and we got to eat their food and hang out with them).

Re: Vision of the Seas?

It is sure the right length! I have the specs on it because I am due to go on an Alaskan cruise on the Vision on the Seas in September.

Re: which cruiseship?

Radisson Diamond - found in Cozumel, quite distinctive because of its twin hulls. I think the cruise ship next to it might be the Saga rose. Can anyone confirm?

Re: Carnival Cruise Lines Ships

It's a Carnival Fantasy-class ship based on the length and the deck plan. The only Fantasy-class ship currently going to Catalina is the Carnival Paradise.

Re: Big Cruise Ship Challenge

In response to the question of the four ships in NYC Harbor, on the far right is the Regal Empress and on the far left I believe is either the Discovery (Island Princess) or it's former sister ship the Pacific (Pacific Princess)(both were formerly the Love Boats)

Re: Carnival Cruise Lines Ships

Found the Paradise docked in Ensenada, Mexico. This must be a new image cuz she's not been there in the past when i looked for her. I can tell it's the Paradise because its the only older ship in there fleet with a mini golf course.

Re: Nuclear Ship Savannah

gCaptain ( Maritime Blog ) just did a great post on the Nuclear Ship Savannah. Well worth a look for the photos of her and the other nuclear powered ships built around the world.

Re: Big Cruise Ship Challenge

She was a great ship. I sailed from Sydney to Southampton via the Panama in Nov/Dec 1969. It was the best cruise ever. All us single young people between 16-35 had the most fun and completely ran riot I have such fond memories of this ship. Sad she has met her end.
