This is Orion's second visit. From the schedule she looks like she will always be tendering - new kid on the block, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted June 11, 2019 #28 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Lou and Dave had Crystal Symphony in Juneau today. We do have port congestion. She ended up in Ketchikan. 2 ships tendering in Juneau would be difficult to impossible. Roy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is now Arcadia was ordered by HAL in 2000 as their fifth Vista class vessel. In 2003 plans were changed to send No. 5 to Cunard to become their Queen Victoria. Shortly before her launch, plans were changed once more and No. 5 became Arcadia for P&O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted June 11, 2019 #42 Share Posted June 11, 2019 What would have been interesting is what HAL would have named No.5 as all four directions of the compass were already taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know in case I ever even think of cruising on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Looks like she would have been No. 4, so more than likely would have been named Noordam. After she left the current, Noordam came along so that 'splains that one. If she would have stayed, now that would have been an interesting story Edited June 11, 2019 by Copper10-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
