Cool Makes you wonder if they take Tourism seriously..

The good news for anyone visiting my home port of Nafplio next summer
is that the local demos (council) have finally removed the unsightly Russian freighter
that had been sitting rusting in its abandoned glory in our beautiful harbour
for the past couple of years.
Now if we could only persuade the Government of Antigua
to similarly improve their tourism product
by removing this rusting ugly old eyesore that greets us all, time and again
as we negotiate the shipping channel into St.Johns!

She is the original Imagine
She was the first ship of the Spatan line
She served well in the early days of this forum to keep people posting
Thanks to Aplmac for the original photo
No members were injured in the making of this commercial for cruises,co.uk
Merry Christmas & a happy cruising new year

I have been waiting for you to suggest this thread Dave, now lets have some fun with “Name that Ship I have a few put aside for you all to guess at, first two is… one scanned from an old photo that I took years ago, and one much more recognizable.
Good luck.

The second one looks rather like Pullmantur's Pacific Dream
which I just saw at St.Maarten three weeks ago..
and obviously an ex-Celebrity ship, because they still have the big X on the funnel!
