and the quarantine has been lifted (and this seems to have been a year ago) do you know if the ship got new chips? Could it be that they are still using the same chips now?
For Wet Chip collectors that like to follow the ships, I found this an interesting history:
Ocean Dream was built as the Tropicale, the first purpose-built Carnival cruise ship, delivered in 1981. She was transferred to subsidiary Costa Lines as Costa Tropicale in 2001, the first of the purpose-built Carnival ships to be transferred. In 2005 Costa Tropicale moved to P&O Australia and was renamed Pacific Star. In 2008 she was due to be based in Singapore. However, in a surprising move, she was sold to Royal Caribbean-owned Pullmantur, for 2008 delivery. The big cruise groups do not usually sell ships to their rivals. She will be renamed Ocean Dream.
Thanks Carlos!
