I've lost my NCl 1999 Brouchure! I want to go and see 'Sky' at Dover. Can anyone tell me which Saturdays or Sundays in October and November, the 'Sky' will be at Dover (if any)?

Hi Malcolm,

Regarding your wish to see the Norwegian
Sky, I may be able to at least help you a
little. Last month on our crossing on the
Norway, we met the Sky in mid ocean for
the solar eclipse and I ran to the sky
deck and took some pictures. It was really
amazing because as the Norway slowed, the
Norwegian Sky proceeded to overtake us and
to do a complete circle around us! As I
stood on the sky deck overlooking the bow
I snapped several pictures of the Norwegian
Sky as she passed within 400 yards of us.

All of this took place as a Royal Navy
chopper was circling to medivac a sick
passenger from the Norway. I think the
chopper stole some of show from the "Sky"
because most of the passengers were more
interested in the medivac.

Anyway, if you e-mail me with your address, I will send you a picture. If
you would like, I will also send you a
picture I took of the QE-2 as she passed
within a km of us on the port side.

I wish I had a scanner so I could share
other interesting pictures of the trip
with everyone else.

Best Regards,
kbozman.

I was hoping to see her when she got to New York, but business concerns have put a damper on most of the lunchtime activities for the past month or so. Yesterday would have been the only day I could go see her, but unfortunately, Hurricane Floyd hit.
