Thanks for sharing this great video! It's interesting to see the inner workings of this grand lady. I'm so sorry she's now gone.

I think he got the units screwed up on the generating capacity, saying KW when he means MW except for the 18 MW total.

No, it was the cruise director in 1985. I forget his name.

Very Cool Video! 30 ft per gallon, holy shit that's insane! A quick question for Norway's historians here, was the upper 2 decks added by this point, and if so would the generators need to be changed to accomodate the extra demand? Aswell, with the addition of the decks, were any changes made to the ships hull or were ballast compensators added to appease the extra top end weight of the ship? A beautiful ship indeed, thanks for the post!!

This video clip is from the ship's on board closed circuit TV circa 1986 - that's BEFORE the additional decks were added.

I worked on the Norway as a musician in the 90s. At the end of this vid, when they show the tenders, you can see that big white open area at the bow. You could sneak out at night and work your way past the tenders and you'd be right there on the bow. The tenders blocked the bridge's view so you could just hang out there and nobody would know. It was unbelievably beautiful being out there in the middle of the the night.

Even better than that. I used to practice my trumpet in the anchor room (not allowed!) If you walked to the very front of the anchor room, there was a port hole with no window. You could put your head out that port hole and literally be in front of the entire ship. Looking straight down, you could see the water breaking on the bow of the ship. A real "I am king of the world" feeling few have every experienced.
