OK NCL fans..trivia question..if you know the answer I'm impressed!!

[Planer's Edge]

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.

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!!

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.

I vote this. The ocean is the largest Blue Lagoon in the world. What better than to name the place to eat in, floating in someting on the largest Blue Lagoon in the world.

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:

I was thinking Elvis too, but then remembered it was "Blue Hawaii". lol

Yes, that was kind of a joke thrown in there.! (unlss he swam in a Blue Lagoon in Blue Hawaii, then we might be on to something:D)

[liv2xplr]

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)?

[kruzkid]

Does it have something to do with the music group?? im probably wrong lol

[ohioNCLcruiser]

because you want to puke in a blue lagoon after eating their wings. :eek:

[bluefintuna]

Very interesting answers, especially the one about the hostages. For me the movie/play "South Pacific" comes to mind.

[CC Help Michell]

I'm thinking of tracking you down, with a posse of hit men! :P

Its not noon tomorrow..errr.. I mean..no, it can't be.. so that can't be the answer.... hehehehehe.

 

Hmm I had another guess, and now I can't think of it... gotta stop coming up with ideas on the drive home... *sigh*

 

Oh well, gives me something to do tomorrow instead of doing my actual work ;)

[nycruiser80]

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]

I think someone just liked the name not really naming it after anything.

[cruizinwithkids]

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.
