Title: Norwegian Dream
Post by: Stefan Niederer on February 16, 2011, 09:22:04 PM

I just noticed that the MV Norwegian Dream is moving!
I think she is laid up in Greece. Somebody has the news?

If you check the cruisetalk website, there is a lot about her there.
She has been moving around the Greek Island quite a lot.
Not sure what is going on.

Hi Stefan,
How I can see the track and what I noticed to all Caribbean cruise ships, I supposed that this is normal for them when they waiting "right time" for berthing. I believe that the reason here is the same!Or may be they drifting there and makes voyages to the Greek islands via their own boats because the port is not enough deep.
I hope to be more or less helpful to you to disclose this mystery  :)!

Emiliyan, It's a mysterious thing to me, because she is laid up there, and not suposed to move around at all. Waiting to get back to her berth could be possible, but why was she out at seas!?!

Hi Stefan,
Then we can say that is really strange thing!Or may be she has again some problems - you can find what's happened to her in the past.The other reason which we can say but I don't believe it - depends how long she is there may have some another Greek strike - in the last week they are plenty! Or like last version may be she is really laid up and ready for sale :)!

All,

It is not unusual for the laid up NORWEGIAN DREAM to make a little trip "to nowhere" every now and then. Apparently, they are just checking if everything still works. They do this more often.

I suppose they are doing some sea trials close to Syros where there is Neorion Shipyard! The Syros island is not in touristic season now, and a strike is not blocking a cruise ship which can go to another destination without problems!
