Holland America has added a neat photo on their blog today. It's a panorama photo taken from the top of the funnel of Nieuw Amsterdam which is currently under construction at the Fincantieri yard in Marghera (Italy).
The panorama is a 360-degree view of the shipyard. Not only can you see the regular activity in the yard, but and you can also see Costa Deliziosa being built at a nearby berth at the yard.
Nieuw Amsterdam will be delivered to Holland America in June.

Royal Princess to Leave Princess Fleet
Carnival Corp announced today that Royal Princess will be transferred from their Princess brand to the P&O brand in the spring of 2011. P&O will rename the ship Adonia.
The change will cancel five previously scheduled Princess sailings in April and May 2011.
The change will also have the affect of further reducing berths in Alaska in the summer 2011 season. Royal Princess is operating in Alaska during the summer of 2010, and Princess has no plans to redeploy a replacement ship there in 2011.
Details will appear in today's edition of Cruise News Daily.

Coast Guard Medevac from Monarch of the Seas
The US Coast Guard medevaced a 14-year-old boy from Royal Caribbean's Monarch of the Seas yesterday afternoon (December 3) while it was off the Florida coast. The boy was suffering from "appendix-like symptoms" and was airlifted to a Miami hospital for treatment.
In this short Coast Guard video, shot from a second helicopter, you can see the Coast Guard MH-65C Dolphin helicopter hovering above Monarch's upper deck just aft of the skylight into the ship's atrium. As the video concludes you can see the stretcher being raised under the aircraft.
Monarch of the Seas was on a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas which left Miami on November 30.
