Very sad news for me. I cruised the Norway eight times, last time being the last week of March, 2003. Guess I could see it coming after the May 25, 2003 disaster, but still very sad news. I think I stayed in every cabin from a Cat. P upper/lower to a Suite, and loved every cruise on the Norway. If I weren't so sentimental, I'd try to sell my original SS Norway T-shirt from 1985 and my "Last Cruise of the Norway" T-shirt from May of 2001on e-bay. But, I won't. I saw the changes in carpeting and staff over the years (among other things), saw the beach erosion on Great Stirrup Cay, saw the deletion of Fendi and Gucci onboard and the addition of "gold" by the inch, and saw the change in attire from the first cruise in 1985 to the last cruise in 2003. Remember the "theme" nights and nightly midnight buffets. Learned that tendering isn't such a bad thing. Paid more for my first cruise on her than my last cruise on her. Loved every minute of it. Here's to great cruises and memories of the SS Norway.

[QUOTE="diverdiver, post: 711314"] Very sad news for me. I cruised the Norway eight times, last time being the last week of March, 2003. Guess I could see it coming after the May 25, 2003 disaster, but still very sad news. I think I stayed in every cabin from a Cat. P upper/lower to a Suite, and loved every cruise on the Norway. If I weren't so sentimental, I'd try to sell my original SS Norway T-shirt from 1985 and my "Last Cruise of the Norway" T-shirt from May of 2001on e-bay. But, I won't. I saw the changes in carpeting and staff over the years (among other things), saw the beach erosion on Great Stirrup Cay, saw the deletion of Fendi and Gucci onboard and the addition of "gold" by the inch, and saw the change in attire from the first cruise in 1985 to the last cruise in 2003. Remember the "theme" nights and nightly midnight buffets. Learned that tendering isn't such a bad thing. Paid more for my first cruise on her than my last cruise on her. Loved every minute of it.
