SS Veendam

Might anyone have any information on the SS Veendam, which in 1923 was providing service between Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, and New York City? --Thisisbossi 02:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I wonder when she was built. HAL/Carnival may be hiding that fact? I can't find any info before she was retrofitted with the her new stern and rooms, etc. Her prow and general lines look more like the sleek classical transatlantic ocean liners' than the silly modern cruise ship's bobbing-hotel look. I sailed on her before Carnival, around 1979 from Miami thru the Caribbean on a 2-week. You'd think from the propaganda uhm... I mean official literature, that she didn't exist even then. Silly wabbits!

MS Aegean Majesty → MS Veendam – The 2020 move to Aegean Majesty was premature and undiscussed; ship has remained laid up with no plans to be put into operation under that name. By far the best known name is Veendam, under which it cruised for 24 years, per NC-SHIP, which is a reasonable application of WP:COMMONNAME, and WP:NAMECHANGES in particular, to ships, where ephemeral and temporary name changes are commonplace.

Support per proposal. Until a ship actually sails under a name, page should not have been moved. Llammakey (talk) 20:26, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
