She was beautiful. Hadn't heard of this line till I was out on a fishing charter and saw her. It was docked at the far end of Port C, way past any normal traffic. I wanted to go on her! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewoman Posted October 4, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2011 We were on the NCL sailing as well as the ship had me on google.com when we got home. I got a nice shot of the verrazano with the Aidaluna in the lower right side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have 17 cruise out of New York on the AIDAaura & AIDAluna. AIDA is a subsidiary of Costa and belongs therefore to the Carnival group. Its not only for germans but for german-speaking guests. so they accept bookings if you do understand german. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explains why it was in port (CCL corporate ownership since they own Costa). Sure was a beautiful looking ship. It was a real treat to see a different line coming in behind us.

Rare mizLORInj Posted October 18, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 18, 2011 You can check out Aida itineraries on various TA sites. The ships are really cool. Aida Vita just left NYC tonight and is doing a multi-port itinerary that starts and ends in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa and AIDA cruises belong to Carnival group, no one is the other's subsidiary. On my last AIDA sailing there were more than 10 nations on board, but it will be a lonesome trip if you don't speak german anyway. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official title is still AIDA Cruises - German branch of costa crociere s.p.a :confused: So AIDa is still a subsidiary and every ship is italian registrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoflyers Posted February 3, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 3, 2012 A couple of days ago, my husband and I were in Georgetown Grand Cayman on Celebrity's Millenium and saw the Aida Aura. We have seen it in other ports in Europe and thought that it was an "old" Carnival ship, with the "whale tail" removed. The ship, although nicely painted looks like one from the 80's - no balconies, smallish, etc. When I Googled the ship it said it was built in 2003. It sure doesn't look like a 2003 ship. Can anyone help with the history of this ship? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's never had a different name nor has she ever sailed for a different company. She does have balcony cabins on deck 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
