The "Dream" is leaving!


Well it has to be said.
Almost after a year the Dream is leaving.
I'm talking about a ship, for those who didn't understand!
The Carnival's newest ship will depart on September 19th, 2009 from Monfalcone, where it was built in something like a year.
It is the largest ship in Carnival's fleet. It's about 345 meters long and has about 17 decks. I'm not really sure about the numbers but anyway it's a HUGE ship.
Almost 1,000 people worked on it. From all over the world. People from Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, China (go figure), Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania not to mention the U.S. and South America which citizens are part of the crew along with some Italians, Japanese and others. I worked on it, and to be honest even though it's name is Dream, it was somewhat of a nightmare for a lot of people.. well mostly because it can be considered as prototype because of its size. I have to admit, though, that was fun to work on the largest ship in the world (or at least i think it is). I can say that the cost of it is about 500 million Euros. Yeah not something you'd buy every day, uh?
Well if you'll ever have a chance to go on a cruise soon and it happens to be on the "Dream" just know that it was proudly made in Italy! With my help of course :)
