Last week in Cruise News Daily, we used a photo of Norwegian Gem in Meyer Werft's covered building dock. It was from an angle looking almost straight down the side of the ship. From that angle you can barely see NCL's unique hull art, but in Meyer Werft's building dock, it's about the best you can do. The building is mammoth, but as large as it is, it isn't wide enough to see the side of the ship well. Yesterday, we were happy to have a picture of Norwegian Gem after it was floated out on Sunday, and you can really see the artwork on the ship's side. (Both photos are currently on the front page of the CND website. The extra photo above shows the early stages of Sunday's operation as Norwegian Gem is slowly backed out, and you can see how narrow the building is, and consequently, why its not good for photography of NCL's hull art. The building is just about as long as the one shown on the left.
