Cruise Passenger Posted March 4, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2007 While docked in Cozumel last Monday, there was a ship in port that I think said Aieda (sp?) on the side of ship. What cruise line is this? Anyone ever heard of this? Where does it sail from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhodg56010 Posted March 4, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The Aida cruise ships number 4, and are a German line owned by P & O, which is in turn owned by Princess*I think. They have an Eye painted on their bows,and lips and other colorful hull decoration,somewhat like Norwegian. While on the Serenade to the southern caribbean recently the Aidavita was with us several times in Caribbean ports. It sounded like announcements were in German. They hava a topless deck topside,or so I am told. Their website address was also printed in big letters on the side of the ship. Their website itself is in German. That's all I know about Aida ships.

carlmm Posted March 4, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yes, AIDA is a German cruise company recently bought by the Carnival Imperium. The concept is called "club-ship". You are supposed to think in the direction of Club Mediterranee but it is on a lower level. There are no formal nights, included food is buffet only, restaurant with service do cost extra. Originally the idea was to attract mainly young people with a party atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted March 4, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Aida has four new ships under construction, 68,500GRT, 2050PAX. Heavily marketed to Germans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
