Planer's Edge Posted January 26, 2009 #51 Share Posted January 26, 2009 and the Star was built as the SuperStar Libra and turned over to NCL in the last few months of construction. The Star was the first ship with a Blue Lagoon. Nope. The Star was christened in 2001 and the Superstar Leo was christened in 1998. PE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalkyM Posted January 26, 2009 #52 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I haven't got a clue about this - and can't even think where to start - but I just can't wait to find out what the answer is. Noon EST is 5pm on this side of the Pond. I'll be here, James!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted January 26, 2009 #53 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Nope. The Star was christened in 2001 and the Superstar Leo was christened in 1998. PE I think you are right. The Star was the first NCl ship truely built for Freestyle. Yes, the now Spirit was to some degree but that was before she joined the NCL gang.

KerCar Posted January 27, 2009 #58 Share Posted January 27, 2009 True but the Star was the first ship with a Blue Lagoon as we know it on NCL The Superstar Leo had a Blue Lagoon Cafe. From what I have read, it was open 24 hours and served Asian/Western faves. Can't tell for sure but it looks like it's in the same spot as the current Blue Lagoon on the Spirit: http://www.starcruises.com/Fleet/Leo/vrSSL/lagoon.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liv2xplr Posted January 27, 2009 #67 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Although there is no way this is correct, does anyone find it interesting that the initials in Blue Lagoon are the same as the S/S Norway's final name (Blue Lady)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycruiser80 Posted January 27, 2009 #73 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I think many of you are on the correct track! Star Cruises ships' (NCL's parent company) have always had Blue Lagoon fast food outlets on their ship's. I have deck plans of the SuperStar Leo and Virgo, from when they were new, and they have them onboard. From what I understood is that Star Cruises carried this feature over when they handed down the design plans of the Super Star Libra and Scorpio to NCL. The Libra became the Norwegian Star and the Super Star Scorpio became the Dawn. I beleive this is how Blue Lagoon came about but I am not sure where Star Cruises got the name!!!

runnerandme Posted January 27, 2009 #74 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I think someone just liked the name not really naming it after anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinwithkids Posted January 27, 2009 #75 Share Posted January 27, 2009 It's pretty funny that there seem to be more people interested in tuning into James' reveal of the naming history of the Blue Lagoon than in tuning into the new F3 details. I plan to be here for both. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=915110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
