At this point, IDK if they're still trying to find an owner for Astoria or is intentionally letting her decay to be worthless for refurbishment.

Hello, so you know how many people upload photos of different vessels here? Well, after a user passes away, the images stay up indefinitely. Do they stay up until the copyright expires, so could the admins release a dead user's images to the public domain? There's plenty of ship photos from the 50's 60's and 70's that were uploaded by now deceased users here?

I hope we can get the sites photos to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons to be saved.

Three more vessels to be sold, 1 from Carnival and 2 from Costa, total of ships sold will increase to 28. https://cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/2022/12/carnival-to-sell-three-more-ships-two-from-costa/

At this point, either Carnival Elation or Carnival Paradise is the most likely to be sold. The 2 Costa Vessels to be sold is very likely to be the Costa Fortuna and the Costa Magica.

Hopefully, NCL buys her and not the shipbreakers. If NCL does buy her, maybe they can also buy the Explorer Dream.

Now that Disney bought the Global Dream, they're going to finish her. I hope they can utilize the unfinished keel and materials for the second vessel, but I doubt it.

As for the official renders of the vessel as a Disney vessel, there's two things I don't like. One is that the hull art currently on her hull as a Dream Cruises ship for Genting will be painted over with the black Disney hull livery. I think they should make a hybrid where she's in Disney's livery but has the Genting artwork.

Another is that she'll have a total of 6 funnels (3 if counting her twin funnels as one). Her twin funnels as is is OK, a foward twin funnel added is OK as it would match Disney's other vessels is fine, but 3/6 funnels? That's a lot and would reduce deck space. If counting the twin funnels as one single one, she'll be the first vessel to be built with and to sail with 3 funnels since the RMS Queen Mary, which sailed from 1936 to 1967. If counting the twin funnels as two funnels, she'll be the first vessel in the world to have 6 funnels.

Personally, I think they shouldn't add a middle twin funnels, and having 2 twin funnels would look better. After all, if you could the twin funnels as one, she'll match her Disney fleetmates. And If you count her twin funnels as two, she'll be not only the first vessel built with a dummy funnel since the Kungsholm in 1965, but also the first vessel to be built with 4 funnels since the Arundel Castle in 1921 and the first vessel to sail with 4 funnels since the retirement of Aquitania in 1950

Costa Luminosa is in dry dock to be converted to Carnival Luminosa. Let's see if Luminosa does well with Carnival. If she's popular there, ok. If not, then I hope she'll get to be transfered to P&O Cruises Australia.

Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity have been sold for $24 million and $103 million respectively. Here is the link. https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/finance/crystal-symphony-serenity-reported-sold-128m

 The buyers seem to be shell companies, which some ship buyers and Shipbreakers use. I think the Crystal Symphony is going to the shipbreakers considering her price she was bought and her age. Hopefully, the Serenity can continue sailing.

Update from MV Werften, turns out the Global Dream itself is NOT being sold for scrap, but rather it's incomplete SISTER SHIP. They're still looking for a buyer for the Global Dream, so she's safe for now. Petition is now closed. Here is the link to the corrected article. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cera6__ucFl/
