Thanks, Clyde.

Actually, on the day of her floating out I have chosen to be closer to Maersk vessels, but there are already some photos of AidaPrima afloat, courtesy of avid Japanese spotters.

Thank you Vlad. You are a marvelous source of information about major shipping industry events. AIDA makes a change from Maersk.

@ Lappino,, thx on those links. Basically they totally underestimated the logistics of how to build such big cruise liners. I just wondering if that was not initially known to get the contracts. One thing I know,,usually the Japanese building yards are good at staying within the limits.

Here's something about the lossof money/delay of the project:

And some more on delay:

Also, for those wishing that for this particular ship Aida will omit its trademark lips and eyes...not going to happen. Expect HUGE lips and eyes. :)

Thanks, Theo. But this wouldn't explain a possible delay of delivery. Looks like MHI isn't too lucky with the construction of cruise ships. Didn't MHI decide to pull out from the construction of cruise ships after the fire aboard Diamond Princess (now Sapphire Princess) during construction in 2002?

If I can ignore the vertical stem (for now, until I get used to it), the rest of the ship looks fine so far, until they add the distinctive AIDA makeup buy which the vertical stem would be ruining everything about her looks.

Hopefully I'll get used to now this beast, just like I was getting used to every new cruise ship sine the end of 2000s.

@Jens
I read somewhere that MHI is restructuring it,s debt which mainly came because they quoted prices for building ships in general under real costs and in the end could not stay in the quoted limits (not that they did not know that it would happen). To what extend and how far this was planned (A lot companies quote low to get the contract and then increase prices,,prime example Panama Canal,,) owners have few choices to opt out,,after all who walks away from a 100 mio project when 20 mio are added.

Rumour has it that MHI is having big problems (I don't know which exactly) with the construction of the two AIDA-vessels. Delivery is said to be delayed by almost 1 year and the costs are said to increase by $ 100 Mio.

Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers,
Jens

I really do like this one especially the bow design, certainly distinctive.

I like this ship, although I don't like the flat bow.
