Ship Speeds [ ]

Each ship has weight and speed, the more generators, solar panels or nuclear reactors you have the faster you go, but some ships have hard limits to their speed, split between weight and speed.

The following list was made using 60MW of power (3 nuclear reactors and 40 generators then averaged the two results. No batteries or solar panels were used.) as the unit of measurement with the ships being ordered in speed. Top possible speed was found by loading the ships with nothing but batteries.

• The Heron - Forward speed : 68.9 Knots - Reverse speed : 52 Knots - Top possible speed : 145.57 Knots ( Full Battery Ship )
• The Raven - Forward speed : 65 Knots - Reverse speed : 42.3 Knots - Top possible speed : 145 Knots
• The Mallard - Forward speed : 44.51 Knots - Reverse speed : 31.325 Knots - Top possible speed : 122 Knots
• The Pelican - Forward speed : 34.08 Knots - Reverse speed : 25.215 Knots - Top possible speed : 107 Knots
• The Osprey - Forward speed : 25.77 Knots - Reverse speed : 19.92 Knots - Top possible speed : 101 Knots
• The Albatross - Forward speed : 21.9 Knots - Reverse speed : 16.52 Knots - Top possible speed : 99 Knots
• Not tested : Cormorant, Titanic & Golden
• All ships in the game are named after a species of bird, with the exception being the Titanic , which is named after a real ship.
• The Pelican is sometimes referred to as the "Bankruptcy Ship", due to its relatively inferior default speed and relative efficiency when compared with other ships, and some advise players to skip it and directly go to the Osprey .
• Most players refer to the Raven as 'The Yacht', due to its design.
• While in the "Drive Ship" menu, pressing H causes your ship to sound it's horn, This feature can be used on all ships.
• The Osprey's stern leads people to believe it is a Dream or Vista-class cruise ship.
• All Cruise Ships in the game have Tunnelled, Forward Facing, Double Screw, Azimuth Pod Drives, while the Only Ocean Liner in the game; Titanic , has Triple Screw, Aft Facing, Conventional Shaft Drives and a rudder.
• The Heron , and the Albatross are the only ships in the game that have Bulbous Bows, while all other ships have conventional Raked Bows, and a Plumb Bow on the Titanic .

The wealthy owner of Tiffany’s jewelry empire in Turkey is believed to have plunged to her death from a cruise ship during a dream vacation with her Swiss lover – who has been questioned and released in the mysterious case.

Dilek Ertek, 71, fell off the Norwegian Spirit into the South Pacific off the coast of Tahiti on Oct. 26 and her body has not been recovered, Newsflash reported.

The tycoon’s son Gokce Atuk said jewelry had disappeared from the safe in her cabin.

Closed-circuit camera footage shows that Ertek went overboard about 3 a.m., yet her unnamed 74-year-old boyfriend only reported her missing about 20 hours later, according to local reports.

Experts wondered how the 5-foot-1 woman ended up going over the 3-foot-high railing in her cabin.

 “It is difficult to fall from this type of passenger and cruise ship,” Mustafa Can, a ship captain, reportedly told Turkish media.

At the family’s urging, police questioned Ertek’s lover after the crew kept him under observation until the ship docked in Tahiti three days later.

The man reportedly returned to Switzerland after being released due to a lack of evidence.

Ertek boarded the ship in Papeete, French Polynesia, on Oct. 24 and planned to celebrate her birthday in Bora Bora on Nov. 5, en route to Honolulu, according to Newsflash.

The Turkish newspaper Sabah cited a local officer saying in social media that assuming the couple were staying in the same cabin, “I find it very suspicious that the missing situation is not reported.

“Because on cruise ships, daily activities and entertainment are organized frequently and everyone is in contact with each other,” he reportedly wrote. “People who cannot hear from each other inform the front desk and make an announcement. So it is confusing that the news of the disappearance is given 20 hours later,” he added.

 Ertek, who opened the first Tiffany & Co shop in Istanbul in 1995, was a graduate of Mimar Sinan University’s Department of Architecture, the Daily Mail said.

She went on the study at the Gemological Institute of America in the Big Apple, according to the report.

A spokesperson for Norwegian Cruise Line told The Post in an email: “On Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2022, Norwegian Spirit was notified that a 68-year-old female guest went overboard while the ship was sailing in the Pacific Ocean on its way to French Polynesia.

“The authorities were notified and the United States Coast Guard conducted a search and rescue operation. The investigation is ongoing and we will share updates as appropriate. Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones during this difficult time,” the rep said.

The Post also has reached out to Tiffany’s for comment.

Diamond Princess Itineraries

Diamond princess review, review of diamond princess.

The 2004-built Diamond Princess cruise ship is the 4th Grand-class Princess Cruises liner, with sisterships Caribbean , Crown , Golden (Pacific Adventure) , Grand , Emerald , Ruby , Star (Pacific Encounter) and Sapphire .

The vessel (IMO number 9228198) is currently UK- flagged (MMSI 235103359) and registered in Southampton .

History - construction and ownership

Princess Cruises is a USA-based passenger shipping company headquartered in Beverly Hills CA. A former subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises (1977-founded), in 2003, the company merged with Carnival Corporation - the world's largest cruise shipowner. Among Princess Cruise Lines Ltd's assets is the Caribbean private island resort Princess Cays (on Bahamas Eleuthera Island's southern end), located approx 80 km (50 mi) from Nassau .

The 2700-passenger ship Diamond Princess debuted in winter 2004 as the fleet's biggest vessel and also the first Japan-built cruise liner in more than a decade. The restaurants and diversity of lounges disperse the crowds and make tourists feel like they are on a much smaller ship.

There are times the Princess Diamond ship does feel big, especially at night when passengers find themselves at the wrong end of the hallway from their stateroom. Diamond Princess, with her 4 swimming pools, a children's splash pool, extensive kid's center and cutting-edge amusement and programs, is especially well suited to families, and that's likely why there were a good number of multigenerational groups onboard. Couples will find much to like on this cruise too, including the fact the dining venues have a decent number of tables for two.

Decks and Cabins

Most Diamond Princess staterooms (1353 total, in 33 grades) are 170-ft2 balcony cabins (522). Almost 75% of the ship's outside accommodations have private step-out balconies. Wheelchair-accessible cabins are 27. The largest accommodation is the Grand Suite (615 ft2 / 57 m2, with terrace sized 115 ft2 / 11 m2).

The boat has 16 decks , of which 13 are passenger-accessible and 8 with cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Nearly all dining options onboard Diamond Princess are complimentary, including the five main dining rooms: Vivaldi, Pacific Moon, International, Santa Fe and Savoy Dining Room. There is also a free-of-charge buffet, pizza place, ice cream counter and grill. All main dining rooms offer the same menu items, though each has a small selection of signature items, most of which can be made in appetizer size. Sailings that carry a majority of Japanese cruisers feature purposely small entree sizes. On cruises that are not full, certain main dining rooms will not be open. On some sea days, Savoy opens for a special British-style pub lunch featuring fish and chips, steak and kidney pie. Lunch in the International is especially popular with Japanese passengers, as it offers a variety of Asian dishes.

Follows the complete list of Diamond Princess restaurants and food bars.

• Savoy Restaurant (ship's aft Dining Room; offers traditional dinner at 5:30 p.m., as well as “Anytime Dining” between 8-10 p.m., and British pub lunch)
• Pacific Moon Restaurant (ship's forward Dining Room for Breakfast 7-9 a.m., Lunch 12-1:30 p.m., Afternoon Tea 3:30-4:30 p.m.; features “Anytime Dining” for Dinner between 5:30-8 p.m. or 8-10 p.m.)
• Vivaldi Restaurant (dinner only aft Dining Room; offers traditional dinner at 5:30 p.m., as well as “Anytime Dining” between 8-10 p.m.)
• Santa Fe Restaurant (forward Dining Room, “Anytime Dining” dinner only)
• International Restaurant (aft Dining Room, with 2 dinner seatings at 5:30 and 8 p.m.)
• Sabatini’s Restaurant (Italian specialty restaurant; reservations recommended)
• Trident Grill & Prego Pizzeria (self-service, complimentary fast food bar)
• Horizon Court (self-service buffet restaurant, complimentary)
• Sterling Steakhouse (specialty restaurant for seafood, grills, steaks)

In April 2024 Princess Cruises announced that starting September 14th (2024) fleetwide would be introduced 3 distinct main dining/dinner table service options – Traditional, Reservable, and Walk-in Anytime. By the new program (introduced with Sun Princess) on each ship are allocated 3 separate dining rooms - one for Traditional dining (offering early and late dinner seating), one with Reservable times, and one for Walk-in Anytime (open-seating). The new options are integrated with the OceanNow service, allowing anything to be ordered anytime, and delivered anywhere onboard.

Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport

The 2-deck Princess Theater serves as the ship's main entertainment venue. There, guests can catch one of the traditional song-and-dance Princess Cruises' production shows. The theatre also offers a variety of other acts, including magicians and juggling comedians, doing shows that combine English and Japanese. Afternoon movies alternate daily between both languages.

At night, virtually every bar offers some kind of music and enough room for dancing: from Latin and ballroom music in Club Fusion and DJ dance music in the Skywalkers Nightclub to light piano at Crooners. Theme nights (50s rockabilly, Country & Western and Caribbean deck party) are also common.

Ship's Japan 2020 cruise program was also based on homeports Kobe and Tokyo, with 50+ departures to 50+ destinations in 11 countries. The planned 2020 itineraries (ranging 5-28 days) included special onboard events and shore activities themed on Japan’s traditional cherry blossom celebrations and summer festivals.

Operations were scheduled to restart with California-Mexico itineraries (roundtrips from San Diego ) starting on November 20, 2022.

Diamond Princess Wiki

Princess Cruises Diamond ship is from company's Grand-class vessels, with sistership Sapphire. The other (similarly-designed) liners in this class are Caribbean , Crown , Emerald , Golden (now Pacific Adventure) , Grand , Ruby , Star (now Pacific Encounter) . Diamond was the first Princess liner built by a Japanese company - MHI. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is a subsidiary company of Mitsubishi Corporation. Unlike the other fleet mates, Diamond has no spoilers at the stern.

Ship's godmother is Yoshiko Tsukuda - the wife of MHI's President and Chairman Kazuo Tsukuda. The christening ceremony was on February 26, 2004. The inaugural cruise (maiden voyage) started on March 13, from Los Angeles to Mexico Riviera.

Fun fact is, that vessel's hull was first named "Sapphire Princess". A shipyard fire damaged the decks of another vessel under construction (already named "Diamond Princess"). Therefore, Sapphire was renamed to Diamond, and completed on time.

Cruise ship's engines can work either with HFO (heavy fuel oil) or with MGO (marine gas oil). MGO emissions are much lower, but it is also rather costly. However, some cruise destinations like Alaska for instance, have very high emission standards and MGO pays off.

In 2017 (April through November) the ship operated on Asian cruises with departures from Japan (homeports Yokohama-Tokyo and Kobe-Osaka ). The itineraries visited South Korea, Taiwan, Russia, China ( Hong Kong ), Vietnam. Following the 2017 drydock refurbishment ( Singapore , March 28 - April 5), Diamond Princess became fleet's 3rd liner (after Royal and Majestic ) to feature the company's new livery design.

Ship's Captain is Stefano Ravera - brother of Sapphire Princess' Captain Paolo Ravera.

Diamond Princess refurbishment 2019 review

Ship's last drydock refurbishment in Singapore (14-day project, January 19 - February 2, 2019) was part of the company's USD 450 million fleet-wide renovation project "Come Back New Promise".

Major upgrades included Movies Under The Stars (outdoor theatre updated with 7.1 surround sound), pool deck (new dynamic LED lighting), Princess Casino (new carpeting, TVs, light fixtures), Lotus Spa and Fitness (upgraded treatment rooms and beauty salon, latest Precor fitness equipment). Also were upgraded the digital audio systems in Explorers Lounge, Club Fusion, Princess Theater (show lounge), new furnishings (Horizon Court buffet area). In all public restrooms and all Suites' WCs were added Japanese bidets.

Following the epidemic Coronavirus outbreak in February-March 2020 , Diamond Princess completed a Level-3 deep cleaning project (conducted by Belfor USA - recovery and restoration services corporation, 1946-founded). The Yokohama-docked vessel was fully cleaned and disinfected, with the operation being constantly monitored by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Following the extensive cleaning, the ship was certified and cleared to leave the country. While in Japan, the liner also entered a wetdock (at a local shipyard) for interior refurbishment (all mattresses, pillows, linens, draperies and curtains were replaced) plus previously scheduled regular maintenance works.

What I find puzzling is her son's assertion that jewelry has gone missing form his mother's cabin. Unless he is on the ship, or knows exactly what valuables she had with her, how could he know what is missing?

23 minutes ago, Laszlo said: Why on earth would a jewelry tycoon kajillionaire take a cruise on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship. Why not just buy a mega yacht?  And an island in the south seas for that matter?

Was she really a kajillionaire?  She owned some jewelry stores that carried the Tiffany name.  In Turkey.   I'm sure she was wealthy but I doubt she was buy a mega yacht wealthy and definitely not private island wealthy.   I tried to find her net wealth and couldn't find any mention of it.  My guess is she was just your run of the mill millionaire.

She was 5'1" tall. 

Family reports that 20 hours went by before being listed as "missing"

If you google her name, more than one article, other than the Daily UK shows up  🙄

though a few articles list her as "plunging" to her death- weird way of reporting.

Perhaps she told him before she died. By a phone call, text, or email.

I was shocked this wasn’t a huge thread after I heard about it in the news yesterday. Was anyone onboard that cruise who could give insight? Tragic ending to her life no matter how it happened!

What is really strange is that a Google search shows that it is being reported that this happened on October 26th, yet no report of this was made on any news site until just yesterday.

Why the delay in reporting.

As of now, Jim Walker still has not reported this on his site and he ALWAYS covers  people overboard from ships.

If she was that rich why on earth was she on a mainline cruise line

We were on the ship , the mail story has some things wrong. The Spirt cruised from Hawaii to Tahiti. There were many announcements one night asking for her including interrupting the 9 pm show . Later there was yellow police type tape on the 10th floor cabin door. It was a big subject of discussion on board .

Any idea which cabin?  I'm on Spirit next week on deck 10.......

Jeff, Fox News just did a small piece on this. Says she fell from the 11th Floor.

A 3 foot guard rail in her cabin ??

Really THREE FOOT ?

Another myth rather than a factual news report.  

She FELL overboard ?

THREE foot railing ??

Her cabin was on 11 , I misspoke, our suite was on 10 . We were told on board that the video showed her off at the pool level aft . 

Family is already taking action against NCL according to news media.

They are said to be taking legal action against the ship’s operator.

A search for her body was organised immediately but to no avail.

Experts seem baffled over how Ms Ertek – who was just over 5’1 – was able to fall over the three-feet-high guard rail to her cabin.

Captain Mustafa Can reportedly said: ‘It is difficult to fall from this type of passenger and cruise ship.’

I find it odd that she was "missing" for 20 hours before it being reported to security? This supposedly happened at 3am? Her boyfriend shared a cabin with her and it took him almost 24 hours?!?!

OK, good.  Did not want to break that to the DW!

Yes sounds very suspicious.

Understood.

This was not a for sure thing that they shared a cabin.  I was on this cruise and the "telephone stories" did change from day to day.  Because at one point they said it was the husband sailing with her.  Then another story that she was sailing by her self.  She had her own cabin and the video show her going to the cabin alone with a bottle of wine.  These are all just part of the different stories circulating.  As the story goes, only her and maybe one other person knows exactly what happens.  

Suddenly I’m glad for inside cabins!

A tycoon who owns Tiffany jewelry empire in Turkey has died after plunging to her death from a cruise ship during a South Sea Islands holiday.

Dilek Ertek, 71 - the distributor of Tiffany in Turkey for more than 20 years - fell into the South Pacific off the coast of Tahiti from the Norwegian Spirit ship on October 26.

Respected Turkish newspaper Sabah reported that her family have urged police to investigate Miss Ertek's Swiss national lover, who was with her on the trip.

Her son Gokce Atuk says jewelry had gone missing from the safe in his mother's cabin.

And despite ship CCTV footage showing she probably fell at 3am, her unnamed lover only reported her missing some 20 hours later, according to local media.

Experts seem baffled over how Miss Ertek - who was just 5ft2 and tee-total - was able to fall over the 3ft-high guard rail to her cabin. 

The 74-year-old partner was kept under observation by the ship's crew in a separate cabin before they then docked in Tahiti three days later.

He was reportedly questioned by police in Tahiti before being released due to a lack of evidence. He has since returned to Switzerland.

A search at sea for Miss Ertek's body has been discontinued.

Miss Ertek had boarded the vessel on October 24 in Papeete Island, French Polynesia, to celebrate her birthday in Bora Bora, a small South Pacific island on November 5.

The cruise was set to end in Honolulu, in Hawaii.

A search for her body was organised immediately but to no avail, with the vessel reporting the situation to the authorities and returning to the nearest port, on Papeete Island.

Security footage from the vessel is being studied, with images showing that an unknown figure fell into the sea at that time, according to Turkish media.

Turkish media has reported that there are also issues with the investigation.

It is claimed that Tahitian authorities did not search Miss Ertek's room properly.

Some feel they have only gone through the motions as the death happened outside their area of jurisdiction.

Dilek Ertek was born in Istanbul and graduated from Mimar Sinan University, Department of Architecture

But lawyers for Miss Ertek have reportedly argued that the investigation is Tahiti's responsibility as it was the closest country when the incident happened at sea.

Her lawyers are reportedly preparing to file a suit against the ship's operator.

Gokce Atuk reportedly went to Tahiti to help with the search efforts, which have now been stopped, prompting him to launch legal challenges.

Captain Mustafa Can reportedly said: 'It is difficult to fall from this type of passenger and cruise ship.'

Dilek Ertek was born in Istanbul and graduated from Mimar Sinan University, Department of Architecture.

She went on to study diamonds at the Gemological Institute of America in New York.

At the end of 1995, she opened the first Tiffany store in Istanbul. She was the distributor of Tiffany & Co in Turkey for more than 20 years.

Hey, I got it working. I'm on Windows 10. When it's installed don't run it from the Application on the ISO. Open the installation location (From your START menu, right click the program and "Show file location". When the file opens, right click the Application in that folder and put in Compatability for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
