Does anyone know, when the Royal Viking Sun got the retractable Z-drive? (Compass thurster is the brand name, I guess) I would love to get some more informations on that (plans, photos etc.)
It's hard to take an aerial photo

One Owner's Suite with Private veranda and 8 Penthouse Suites with Private verandas, Croquet Area and Golf Practice Area also located on Sky Deck.

Are there any rooms that are still pretty much the same now as when she was RVS?

No, sorry, with photos it`s by far too simple. (photos will be posted or sent to you afterwards )
quote:Originally posted by Ocean Liners:I knew Vistafjord.
If you know that you should at least know one more. (If I remeber right, this was her first cruise after the fire in the laundry)
quote:Originally posted by Ocean Liners:Did You meat QE2 in Istanbul?
No - we talk about Piraeus. One more which should be easy now, one more a bit more difficult and one "very difficult" (I am not even sure how she was called back then...)
(BTW - at this occasion QE2, Vistafjord (just passing by) and Royal Viking Sun were at Istanbul at the same day)
quote:Originally posted by Ernst:The deck above the promenade deck also did not work that well. The Norway lounge with it`s inclined floorwas very nice, having good proportions. But the rest of the deck was a bit weired - all was arranged in a very strange manner. e.g. the room for games and the very small library "behind" shops; nobody found the cinema and the wine bar with the fire place.
