From Star Cruises:

STAR CRUISES SELLS NORWEGIAN DREAM AND NORWEGIAN MAJESTY
TO STRENGTHEN CAPITAL STRUCTURE


Star Cruises today announced another step to further strengthen the Group’s capital structure. The Group has completed the sale of two ships, Norwegian Dream and Norwegian Majesty to the Cyprus Louis Group for US$218 million and US$162 million respectively. The two ships will be chartered back from the new owner to complete their announced scheduled itineraries in November 2008 for Norwegian Dream and December 2009 for Norwegian Majesty.

“The sale of the 2 ships will improve on the Star Cruises Group’s capital structure following on the completion of Apollo’s investment in Norwegian Cruise Line (“NCL”) in January 2008. It is expected that there will be net savings in interest expenses and the additional cash flow will provide opportunities arising in Asia for Star Cruises like our hotel and casino project in the Philippines announced on 2 April 2008.” said Mr. David Chua, President of Star Cruises.

“This transaction will also speed up the optimization plan for the upgrade of our existing fleet in Asia and the international fleet in America and Europe so as to realize our mission and promise for delivering the best quality cruising experience to our cruisers by continuously upgrading our hardware and software. In fact, we have two new ships currently under construction and will deliver 10,800 more lower berths by completion in 2010. Star Cruises will continue our investment in NCL and explore opportunities for our international fleet,” added Mr. Chua.

佢話要用d錢黎升級船隊喎,不過有幾多野係真係呢~...

新聞稿提到「additional cash flow will provide opportunities arising in Asia for Star Cruises like our hotel and casino project in the Philippines」，即表示筆錢部份會用於菲律賓賭場項目，而非郵輪業務。

至於Aloha，報導指是因為麗星叫價過高而賣不出，至於會否來亞洲就難以估計，因為聽聞麗星自寶瓶啟航後一直欠缺船橋officers，退休船長也要重出江湖，所以Aloha會否來亞洲仍有許多變數...

其實都有升級架~係可能係行線上面同船到...行線上...加隻77104既aloha
好似頭先同你講既個條菲律賓線或者可能會出現...佢投資賭之餘仲可以開隻船落去賭,
佢自己地頭佢stay多2日都得呀係個port到,仲可以係個賭場拎分~咁就岩晒d師奶同呀叔啦
整架專車接d人去賭位位70蚊...真係車錢都搵一筆,而aloha就頂左一向有既舊線或者玩3通..
libra就去頂virgo2至6日d線&台灣..ssq行晒gemini d線.反正佢副車本來就係行長線..
(再行多幾次副車d齒輪比都唔係for短線),仲可以順手幫d crew重新培訓= =
如果virgo12月真係會留係香港或者依d調配會出現...(純粹估計)
就算拎隻無場既aloha去行菲律賓...去到一樣有得賭...
反正virgo/aloha夠快,實行日賭夜賭,出個低分/免分計劃..肯定程程都滿...
佢依次既菲律賓既投資..或者可能係特登唔賣aloha= =講真個1千萬美金..
我唔信佢咁貪錢會唔肯讓步..佢自己起個時都係3億2千萬左右...
或者佢係試下d自己d2手船有無市場.方便送走ssq就真................

唔使擔心要花錢上Aloha，雖然佢賣唔出住，但近日聽聞佢都唔會過麗星，而係返NCL，暫時行Ｄ短線行程。

「Aloha美夢」粉碎啦，NCL已推出Pride of Aloha轉返做Norwegian Sky的行程，去邁阿密行三四晚短線航次，換言之Pride of Aloha過檔亞洲計劃已經告吹。

賣賣下都唔知會唔會連SSV都賣走埋，都係果句 - 俾我搭埋9月果水4日3夜先好走啊！！

貼返張相先……

聽聞除了Virgo外麗星所有船都在放售中，放售已久卻賣不出。

呢樣可能性唔係好大!
因為天秤星係台灣生意都幾好,
而且,麗星都要固定香港及台灣既航線,
如果真係賣哂D船,咁未冇哂船?？

全部放售唔等於全部一齊賣走，賣夠咪收手囉，放多幾隻俾人揀，賣走亦可租番，況且麗星都唔係未放棄過台灣市場啦，而且賣船結束營業有乜出奇呢？做o左咁多年都唔見有乜擴充。如果亞洲真係咁好景，Carnival / RCI一早就用大堆好幾級o既船打沉麗星。

況且如果寶瓶或者天秤賣走換隻Norwegian Sky過來都係好事，而家擺明係麗星無能力再要多隻Aloha先至俾返NCL。

仲有樣o野，據聞幾日前Pride of Aloha仍在放售中，叫價約400 million美元。

唔黎仲好= =唔洗我比多筆錢上去試隻船==
我諗麗星唔係唔擴充船隊= =而係無需要擴充船隊..再加上人手不足下...佢恨不得賣多隻黎解決人手問題

係囉，唔夠人，最致命係唔夠bridge officers，可能係通行都知呢間公司惡做，schedule一日改幾次，一唔係就日航+夜航疲勞轟炸，真係慘不忍睹，亦難怪服務質素下降，做其他郵輪應該舒服Ｄ，亞洲之星仲有每星期休息一晚添。希望魚仔行番正常schedule會好番Ｄ啦。
