Cruise ship STARSHIP ROYALE sunk or scrapped
« on: January 29, 2017, 12:25:37 PM »
The cruise ship STARSHIP ROYALE of Premier Cruises (former FEDERICO C of Costa) is said to be sunk in Panama waters during bad weather and all crew savely taken off. However found enclosed picture on the internet with the caption "cruise ship scrapped at Alang". For me she looks very much like the STARSHIP ROYALE. What is the name of the ship in the picture?

This photo look more like Big Red Boat 111 ex Transvaal Castle. The Starship Royale became SeaBreeze and in December 2000, it sank off the coast of North Carolina/Virginia.
