I answered my own ?. Found a great website, it was set up with the guy who gives the history talks at tea while at sea. There is a link there for 1st time Norway cruisers which was extremely helpful. Go to www.ss-norway.com for lots of info on the Norway. There are NO irons or hair dryers on board, but you can get your shirts pressed for about $1.50 each.

We have sailed in several different cabins on Sun Deck on Norway. They all have very nice hairdyers in the bathrooms. Can't say about Sky deck, but I would guess they would have them, too, since Sky and Sun Decks were added at the same time.
That ss-norway site is wonderful! Especially the cruise tips for sailing on Norway. I read the tips after already sailing on her 10 times and finally learned that it DOES NOT help to keep pushing the elevator buttons. Have to keep my hands behind my back though, as the temptation is so great.
You're right about Devon Scott's web site - it is great. Unfortunately, Devon has left NCL and the "Norway" and his excellent talks will apparently not be continued by somebody else - what a shame!
It's true he just recently left Norway. He needs more time to work on his Norway Preservation Foundation and couldn't do that while on the ship all the time. But he will be back for the Norway Rally Support Cruise on Jan. 12, '03 and will be giving his slide shows and lectures during that cruise. I believe the France Gala on the 2nd formal night is still being held though. That was the highlight of our last cruise.
I am also dissappointed he has left the norway, as I was really looking forward to meeting him when we sail 8/11. I wonder if he will continue developing the website? Hope so.
AND thanks for the onfo on the suite amenities!
The site is ALIVE!

I read a post on the Norway yahoo! site by Will Main, the Pres. Pro-tem of the SOS Norway Foundation. He said the site will definitely be upgraded soon, especially with Devon having more time to see to it. However, Devon is going to also be spending alot of time working on getting a waiver of the Jones Act (I believe that's it) for the Norway so she can cruise up and down the east coast of America, docking in cities like New York, Charleston, Philadelphia, etc. You can read about his wonderful plans for her on the ss-norway web site. They sound fantastic to me, if only they can be pulled off!!

Hi everybody!
The above is correct. If you get a chance, take a look at Devon's web site. The Rally Support Cruise will be an excellent opportunity to meet Devon and lots of fellow "Norway" enthusiasts onboard. I would love to go myself, but I cannot travel in January at all.
Of course, Devon will not only continue but intensify the work on his site, so keep your eyes open for new exciting details to come soon!
I'm curious if anyone else on this site is going to be aboard. My daughter and I booked this cruise as soon as we heard about it! I've been told that Philippe Conquer, author of 303, will be having a slide show and book signing. There will be France memorabilia on display and for sale, plus other good things TBA. And, of course, Devon and his wonderful lectures, too. We can hardly wait!!
We will be leaving on the Norway on 9-22-02 we will be staying in K083 and our friends will be on A-047-----should we tell them to upgrade to suite or stay where they are? Are we looking forward to a beautiful room or not?
