Pablo M 201 Posted May 26, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 26, 2008 Hmmm.....was looking at the Norwegian Spirit yesterday, didn't notice a thing. But I didn't know of an incident. BTW, been a while since I've seen this, but three cruise ships sitting on dock. The Norwegian Spirit, Norwegian Dawn, and then the usual Carnival one (always forget the name of this one).

Pablo M 201 Posted May 26, 2008 Share #4 Posted May 26, 2008 Freedom of the seas? - Andy I think thats the one! But man, I'm really having a hard time putting a name to that boat. Something is telling me the name of the usual NY Bound boat is the Imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of their fleet operate from port canaveral in florida. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
