  1.  

    Spirit of London (1972-present) Delivered in 1972 to P & O as the Spirit of London, she had originally been ordered by Norwegian Caribbean Line (NCL) and was to be named Seaward, but P & O bought her unfinished hull after NCL had pulled out of the deal. In 1974, P & O bought Princess Cruises and the Spirit of London was renamed Sun Princess, joining the Island Princess and Pacific Princess in the Princess fleet.

     

    1988 saw the sale of the Sun Princess by P & O to Premier Cruises, where it was initially named Majestic, then becoming the Starship Majestic in 1989. In 1994, she was purchased by CTC and was renamed the Southern Cross. She was renamed again in 1998 when Festival Cruises began operating her as the Flamenco. After Festival Cruises collapsed, she began sailing for Cruise Elysia for which she currently operates as New Flamenco.

    That was the first ship I ever sailed on as Starship Majestic in 91. Thanks for posting the pic!

  3. On the SOA, they blew the horn 1/2hr or 1hr before leaving port and I think they did it again when they were leaving port. We noticed that they did not do this on the Carnival Triumph this summer. Do any cruise ships still do this? Any idea why they stopped doing this?

     

     

    On my last cruise I noticed that if there is another RCI ship in port and one leaves, it beeps at the other.

     

    We were in ST Kitts on Legend of the Seas and Empress of the Seas was also in port. We left first and honked at them and they honked back.
