Can someone tell me about the Celebrity Journey? Is this a new ship or a renamed ship? I see its sailing out of NYC this summer to Bermuda. Thank God the Horizon and Zenith don't do that any more....those ships were flat out boring.
Here's what I found on Celebrity's website, from the inaugural date, it sounds like they acquired it from another line: Ship Facts Occupancy: 710 Tonnage: 30277 Length: 593 feet Beam: 95 feet Draught: 19.85 Cruisespeed: 22knot Inaugural Date: May 01, 2000
It sems they transferred it from Pullmantur after their recent acquisition. Not sure which ship it was, but they are transferring another one also.
Next Cruise: Carnival Fantasy 10-27-08

Two of Celebrity's new acquisitions, the Journey and the Quest, used to be Renaissance ships. They're getting a 3rd ship, Celebrity XPedition, which will sail the Galapagos Islands.
We were in Bermuda last week on a Royal Caribbean cruise and pulled up to this ship. I was puzzled because it is labeled "Azamara Journey". After looking closer, we found a very small Celebrity flag flying off the bow. In all the pictures I previously saw, she was a black ship like Zenith or Horizon...Didn't talk to anyone from the ship to see how they liked it, though.
