![]() In the period 2012-2015, he was employed by Prestige Cruise Holdings as Senior Advisor to Jason Montague (Prestige's CEO and Chairman). David Herrera (with NCLH since 2015) previously served as NCL’s Chief Consumer Sales and Marketing Officer (as well as NCL's Senior VP of Strategy and Corporate Development).In 2023-2025, Frank Del Rio serves NCLH as a Senior Advisor to the Board of Directors. NCLH's current President and CEO (since July 2023) is Harry J. Herrera (since July 2023) who succeeded Harry J. NCL's current President and CEO is David J. In 2014, NCLH's major shareholders were three corporations - Genting Group (Malaysian/25%), Apollo Global Management (American/24%), TPG Capital (American/7%), while the remaining stocks were publicly owned. The 1966-founded NCLH-Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd is an American-Bermudian corporation headquartered in Miami (Florida USA) and a stock traded company (NASDAQ) listed on NYSE ( NYC). When Ted Arison left NCL in 1972 (to establish CCL-Carnival Cruise Lines), Knut Kloster acquired more ships for NCL's Caribbean operations. Passenger shipping operations started with one vessel ( cruiseferry/combined cruise ship and car ferry) operating on short and cheap Caribbean roundtrips from the USA. There were a few interesting things including doing 360's in place in Vigo harbor to re calibrate the ship's compasses (because of the change in amount of metal with the new engines) and doing some acceleration and emergency stops (we were dining in Cagney's (aft) that night and the food was bouncing on the tables).NCL-Norwegian Cruise Line (ncl.com) was founded in 1966 (under the name "Norwegian Caribbean Line") by two shipping magnates - Knut Kloster (Norwegian, 1929-2020) and Ted Arison (Israeli, 1924-1999). Our cabin steward said that he was doing tiling during the drydock and they finished after midnight the day of our cruise, which is why they were still setting up rooms until near sailaway. ![]() Couldn't exactly tell which bathroom fittings were new (maybe all). Our stateroom had all new furniture, all new carpets, all new tile in the bathroom. We were on the first cruise Epic out of dry dock from Southampton to Barcelona. All of the public areas in the 5 year old Epic were demo'ed down to the steel and rebuilt. They extended the dry dock to 3 weeks when they decided to replace 2 of the main engines. The Epic was suppose to be in dry dock (for a full overhaul) for 2 weeks. They both refrurb public spaces, moved restaurants, and built new restaurants during that dry dock. ![]() Not sure what you're looking for but I really think 2 weeks is plenty of time to give the BA a little TLC which is all it will need. The BA will not receive a full overhaul b/c it won't need it. Dawn is a much older (built in 2002) much smaller ship (only 2340 pax) so no comparison. Thanks for that! I hadn't found that on the site but had been looking because I thought she may be in need of some repairs and they may want to add some additional newer features since she hasn't moved since her inaugural sailings awhile ago. Norwegian Epic, which received ship wide enhancements earlier this year during an extensive dry dock, will once again sail seven-day Western Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona and Civitavecchia, showcasing the best of Italy, France and Spain. Norwegian Star will reposition from the West Coast to Venice, sailing a series of seven-day Greek Isles and Adriatic & Greece cruises from The Floating City. Norwegian Spirit will return as well, sailing longer 10-day Western Mediterranean and 11-day Eastern Mediterranean & Adriatic cruises from Civitavecchia. Norwegian Jade will return to Europe in summer 2018 and sail a series of Norway, Iceland, and North Cape cruises from London (Southampton) and Hamburg, showcasing the spectacular Norwegian fjords, along with British Isles cruises on select dates. Following her arrival in Europe, Norwegian Breakaway will undergo enhancements in dry dock and then journey to her new seasonal homeport of Copenhagen, where she will sail nine-day Scandinavia & Russia cruises through the summer season. Norwegian Breakaway will depart her New York homeport on April 15 for the first time since her inaugural season in 2013 for a 12-day transatlantic voyage to London (Southampton). Guest sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and flavors of Europe with five ships based in the region in summer 2018.
