Kind of a ship buff myself and would have loved to have sailed on any of those classic ships. A shame that I believe all of them are gone now, with the possible exception of one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to a officer on Hal and he said he had been on it recently , it is now a museum/hotel I think, I would love to see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are correct that she is either a museum or hotel. I do know that she is permanently docked in Rotterdam. Such a beautiful ship from the late 50's.

Don't know where you heard that the Jubilee ever sank, but it did not. It is currently sailing as the Henna in Asia. The Holiday is still sailing under the name of MS Magellan.

Lesleym Posted August 27, 2015 #239 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I sailed on the Cunard Carmania in 1968 as an eight year old. We were hit mid ships by an oil tanker while we were leaving Lisbon I think and we weren't able to go to Tunisia. I still remember the dining room shaking while we had our dinner.

hugueys Posted September 24, 2015 #241 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Our first Caribbean cruise was on The Norway! Talk about tendering to all the ports. Think it was about 1998 and Norwegian Cruise line had already refitted it from the original oceangoing ship by taking out the middle of the ship. Anyone else ever travel on her?

SS Norway was one of my favorite ships. Cruised here 7 times ( more than any other ship) starting in mid 1980's, we did our honeymoon on her in 1991, one of my favorite ships of all time.

swm5495678 Posted October 2, 2015 #244 Share Posted October 2, 2015 My wife and I originally met on the SS Skyward from NCL on Halloween 1986. At the time she lived in California and I lived in New Jersey. We had a "coast to coast" relationship for three years. Used to meet in different cities around the country. Ended up getting married in November 1989. Been married ever since and I ended up moving to California. No regrets. What ever happened to the Skyward? I thought I read that its still floating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmHarborCruiser Posted October 23, 2015 #245 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Cabo Izarra 1969 (Went into ferry service in Hong Kong as the Xing Hu then scrapped in 2002) Costa Flavia 1971 (Caught fire and sunk 1989 in Hong Kong harbor) Regal Empress 2002 (Scrapped in 2009 in Alang, India) Is Hong Kong the place where old ships go to die? These were all memorable cruises in their own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannise Posted October 1, 2019 #247 Share Posted October 1, 2019 The year before the Norway was scrapped, we passed her leaving port and our captain saluted her, she returned the salute. It gave me goosebumps and the memory still does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman2go Posted May 6, 2020 #250 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I was thinking about all of the ships I've sailed on that have changed ownership and now sail under a new name and then I did some research on ships I've been on that no longer even exist. Here goes...
