WE reported back in August of ongoing problems with NCL's F3 project. Trade publication Travelpulse today said that NCL had tweaked its 'About us' copy at the end of their press releases.

It used to read: " NCL is building two new Third Generation Freestyle Cruising ships for delivery 2010".

That has now been turned into: " NCL is building a new third generation Freestyle Cruising project known as F3..." Confirmation or not that NCL is now only due to take delivery of One not Three F3 ships.

Holidayinisders.com put it to NCL what this means to their projected passenger numbers and more importantly what it meant to their profit forecast. We did not receive any reply.

In a separate move, NCL's sale of Norwegian Dream by their parent company Star Cruises to Greek-based Louis Cruise Lines is reported to have fallen through. Well respected publication Seatrade, reported that Louise Cruises cited "technical issues" for the collapse of the £218 million deal.

So, what next for NCL's Dream. Well Seatrade say that Star Cruises has instructed brokers to put NCL's Dream back on the open market.

NCL's Dream ship will complete its last sailing for NCL on October 26th.
