Sorry. I do normally try to clarity abbreviations.

 

It was built in Rostock and dragged to Pappenberg. It arrived a few weeks ago. The construction of the ship can begin now.

This morning, Arvia’s FERU was floated into the dry dock at the shipyard to begin block assembly. It shares the dry dock with Disney Wish.

Without appearing to be thick what is a FERU.

Not strictly Arvia, but sister ship AIDAnova, cool time lapse from engine build to Ems conveyance.

Great bit of film thanks. The construction process is amazing. Bit like ultra-complicated lego or meccano set... 😀

It never ceases to amaze me that these mega-ships are built like giant meccano sets...😀

Not a surprise really. One of the younger Captains and I believe he has recently been taking charge of Iona when Wesley Dunlop is on leave.

I wonder if his wife was really happy naming the two boys after classic cars...🤔😀

I think Jensen is a car. Jenson is an ex racing driver.

Maybe they got intercepted en-route to register the birth and so spelt it incorrectly...😉

At least they didn't call them both Morris. The youngest would be Morris Minor. If one was a girl, Austin and Ruby🤣

Bloody nice bloke and great choice.

 

Interestingly, Paul Brown will be leaving Britannia to be the captain on board Arvia when Captain Camby is on leave. This may point to Neil Oliver being Entertainment Manager.

Looks like you have missed me whilst I have been away on Regal Princess for a week.
