    Wonder in the shipyard in Cadaz

    Hey there EOD, In answer to your question, YES, with the new locks open they can pass , no problem. They were waiting for the new locks to open before putting the tail on the Wonder. It is still kinda strange looking AKK

    Not DCL , but for those interested, the Last of the Costa Concordia

    There really is no comparison. So nothing to worry about! DCL Officers and crews are from the top of the industry, well trained to above all international standards. The fleet is operated under strict and high safety standards and operational requirements. As EOD pointed out no showboating, EI...

    Not DCL , but for those interested, the Last of the Costa Concordia

    Hi EOD........in short.not much. At best a few souvenir type items, maybe the ships bell and some brass type fittings.....the water over 3 years has pretty well destroyed most everything. Except for the scrap steel, all other things are to be destroyed. AKK

    The Worlds most dangerous cruise countries/ports.

    This i not intended to scare people for cruising, but is best to have a idea of what is going on in the world cruising countrys/ports. Best to keep your eyes open and watch around you. Turkey just had a foiled military coup, Egypt has its issues, Venezuela has big economical problems..etc...

    The new PC locks seem to be a problem for handling the massive vessels

    It seems the new locks have some issues.........likely its going to take a long learning curve on how to control these massive vessels in the locks with only tugboats. I still question why they did not use the proven mule system........costs? AKK Panama Canal Design Concerns Renewed After...

    Seems a possible 2nd DCL island is more then a umour!

    Well as usual, everything has changed. Disney has announced that they are NOT going to try and develop Egg Island. It seems after surveying and inspecting the land and reef/waterfront, it will not hold the plans Disney had in mind. The environmental group is of course very happy and thanked...
