Capsoni Posted June 12, 2009 #26 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Today the Norwegian Dream left "Pireus Roads" to sail to Kalamata (Greece). Romours said she went to Fred Olsen instead of Black Prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomica Posted June 13, 2009 #27 Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Today the Norwegian Dream left "Pireus Roads" to sail to Kalamata (Greece). Romours said she went to Fred Olsen instead of Black Prince. That would be very interesting if she went to Fred Olsen. They must see something in her that Louis doesn't...or they were just willing to pony up for the service upgrades she'd need.

Rare Essiesmom Posted June 13, 2009 #28 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I think she might be a bit larger than Louis likes...EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecrazyk Posted June 23, 2009 #29 Share Posted June 23, 2009 There was a picture on the boards where she was hit by a large water surge in the Bay of Biscay I believe. She is fine but it was something to see. http://newseditor.independentminds.livejournal.com/35623.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecrazyk Posted June 23, 2009 #30 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I believe Fred Olsen might have bought the dream also.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxchan Posted June 23, 2009 #31 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I believe Fred Olsen might have bought the dream also.:) Oh thank heavens. There for a second I was thinking our beloved Dream was cursed! I hope Fred Olsen takes good care of her and I have the chance to sail on her again. The Dream will forever be my favorite ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelcruiser Posted September 18, 2009 #32 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I went on the inaugural sailing of the Dreamward. Loved the ship and the central stairs with the big picture windows. I was in college and found a deal and went with a buddy. We were heck on wheels that week! I remember we took a bottle of 180 proof booze and it broke in his luggage. The booze ate the suitcase liner up! Stained his clothed the color of the suitcase too....Thank goodness it washed out! We had a ball meeting everybody and the crew. What fun times!

bzbob Posted October 20, 2010 Author #33 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I was the original "poster" of this thread, and appreciated all of the input that I got regarding the Norwegian Dream. There, however, have been no replies in quite some time, so I'm wondering if anyone knows this wonderful ship's fate as of now. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 21, 2010 #34 Share Posted October 21, 2010 She has wandered around the Aegean, to various ports in Turkey, and bounces between Syros and Piraeus Roads of late. She is currently docked in Syros. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jla418 Posted October 28, 2010 #36 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Not sure when this picture was taken, but it the one of the shipyards in Syros. You can see the Norwegian Dream amid the crowd.... http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/32278042.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuesCruisin Posted October 28, 2010 #37 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hi, I just booked a cruise in Nov. 2010 on the Dream. Does anyone know of a board specifically for that sailing?

ConnC Posted October 29, 2010 #39 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I think that she would fit into Louis or Thomson cruises, she does seem considerably larger than their current ships, but the Dream does bear a resemblance to the Thomson Destiny.

JuleStearn Posted November 6, 2010 #41 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I sailed the Dreamward in May of 1994 on my high school senior trip and again after she was stretched and renamed The Dream for my honeymoon on a 10 day Hawaiian cruise in 2002. Loved the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Ken Posted May 16, 2011 #42 Share Posted May 16, 2011 The Dream sailed from Piraeus about 4 weeks ago now, she went through the Suez canal, down the red sea and into the gulf of Aden, at which point she disappeared off the ship tracking site and not been seen since:( The info should appear in this link along with lots of pics of her http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?mmsi=308272000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Ken Posted May 26, 2011 #43 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Well it looks like she finally made it to Singapore. I suspect her identity will be very soon changed.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ggo85 Posted May 31, 2011 #44 Share Posted May 31, 2011 As miserable as our voyage was (the 1999 collision), I hate to see these older ships on which I've sailed sold for scrap. I know it must happen but it always seems like I'm losing a family member.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Ken Posted June 13, 2011 #45 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I've just found this and copied it from "cruise industry news" website. Norwegian Dream Update Friday, 10 June 2011 | Written by CIN Staff Since lingering in Greece and reportedly having been tied up in legal matters, the Norwegian Dream has moved to Asia. The ship was heading east in April, and docked at Sembawang Shipyard before being anchored off Singapore. Port officials confirmed to Cruise Industry News that the ship was anchored there, but had no plans to berth. Despite rumors of a sale, charter, or the possibility operating for Star Cruises, the Norwegian Dream continues to be a question mark. In a statement prepared for Cruise Industry News, Genting Hong Kong (which owns Star Cruises, the owner of the ship) said: “We can confirm that Norwegian Dream was docked at Sembawang Shipyard for technical dry-dock last month.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted August 22, 2011 #46 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Was browsing another cruise forum (which I cannot belong to) and found a running thread about Norwegian Dream. Apparently she has been in and out of Sembawang Shipyard in Singapore a couple of times, went for a short run, and back to the shipyard. They have a member in Singapore reporting in on her. Also mentioned a contest on Star Cruises facebook page for name for a new ship. Perhaps Star has decided to bring her back into the fleet.

Cruising Ken Posted September 14, 2011 #47 Share Posted September 14, 2011 When I type the name Norwegian Dream into the AIS website it comes up with "no record found" so her name and old call sign must now be history. It will be good to know what name they give her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Veendam06 Posted September 16, 2011 #48 Share Posted September 16, 2011 We love the Dream & Wind before they redid them and made them longer !! We did the Dream to Bermuda a few times i loved her size then !! I love having breakfast outside the sorts bar over looking the pool are on the steam !! I didn't like at all what they did to these ships !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 17, 2011 #49 Share Posted September 17, 2011 According to another website, she was still in Sembawang shipyard on Sept. 12. They have a member living in Singapore...EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDubyaTee Posted October 9, 2011 #50 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm not sure just how old the Google Earth image is but it is dated 2011 and I believe it shows the Norwegian Dream in drydock at Sembawang Shipyard, Singapore. I also believe the Norwegian Magesty is tied up at St. George, Bermuda, again shown on Google Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
