New Line to Operate Cruises from Palm Beach to the Bahamas
The Port of Palm Beach is reporting they will have a cruise ship to replace Bahamas Celebration which struck an unknown object in the water as it was leaving Freeport on October 31 and opened a hole in the side of the ship below the water line.
The new ship, the 47,000-ton Grand Celebration, will be operated by a new line, Bahama Paradise Cruise Line, but with many of the same executives of the old line. The operation seems to be a duplicate of Bahamas Celebration’s, and the line plans to be in service as early as February 2015.

9-Week Dry Dock Necessary to Repair Oceania's Insignia
Oceania says a nine-week dry dock will be necessary to repair the damage to Insignia from the December 11 fire.

Once installed, the AEP systems will reduce sulfur dioxide emissions from the diesel engines by more than 97%. This will assure the ships are in compliance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) Emission Control Area emissions standards.
