Last week Norwegian Getaway left Meyer Werft, and we showed you pictures. It was an unusual river conveyance to be sure, with a nighttime departure (to coincide with the tides) from the yard at 1am, an even-larger ship having to ease through the narrow passages, and fog virtually all the way. Meyer Werft has now released a video of Norwegian Getaway's journey from the yard to the sea.

* MSC Has Arrived
Get ready for a change. MSC Divina arrived in Miami this morning at the end of an 18-day cruise that repositioned her from Venice to her new year round home port in North America.
MSC Divina being in Miami signals that things are going to be different both for the Miami market and for MSC. Even her arrival this morning was quite different from any other celebratory cruise ship arrival Miami has seen before - and Miami has seen a lot of them. More

MSC Divina Arrives at Miami
MSC Divina arrived in Miami early this morning after its 18-day transatlantic repositioning cruise from Venice. Miami will be the ship's year round home port, and it is the first time MSC has based a ship of this size in the US.
MSC Divina was met in Miami by a fleet of FIAT 500 personal watercraft which seemed to enjoy buzzing around the ship during its entry into the harbor.

Cruise News Daily Headlines for November 18, 2013
* Full Circle
Carnival Sunshine was christened yesterday in New Orleans and left this afternoon on its first cruise from its new home port.

* They Aren’t Getting It
Last month, voters in Key West defeated a measure on the ballot that decided whether or not to move forward studying a project that would widen and deepen the channel into the port. Without the enlargement, cruise ships of today’s average size cannot get into port.
The measure was defeated, but new comments from those opposed seem to show some flaws in their logic.
