The Costa Victoria was heavily refitted a few years back including the addition of balconies, making her look even more like Nor Sky, er i mean Pride of Aloha, er I mean Nor sky, er, OH WHATEVER!

NCL ordered the Norweign Sun as the Sky was being built, but as this last ship hadn’t been started they were free to modify it bit more (adding an extra floor of balconies and slightly larger cabins amoung other things) However, the Sun was well into her contruction when NCL announced freestyle, so again at the last minute changes were made, in this case the scramble to fit in a few more restaurants.

Everybody knows she has a younger sister, the Nor Sun, but did you know she also has an older sister? After a face lift a few years back, the oldest of the trio now looks a lot like her younger siblings and is still sailing for the original line that commissioned her. Can you name that ship?
