  • Great thinking!! Once repaired, she could even make money (that could be part of the problem since the government is against profit). If we let this ship go, we may as well scrap the Liberty Bell. It's that important!

  • Of course the easiest and probably the most economical thing would be to scrap her. But this isn't just another rusting relic from the past. This ship carries the name of our country, for crying out loud! I was sickened to see pictures of the beautiful France beached and torn apart in India. We CANNOT allow this to happen to the United States! I want to hold out hope that someone will come to her rescue but I'm afraid there are too many forces working against her.

  • I feel so sad and powerless. The ship is fading away in the same manner as the nation that built it

  • Shes been saved Thanks to Philadelphia philanthropist H.F. Gerry Lenfest, who will contribute up to $5.8 million to fund the purchase and associated costs.

  • I say have the head of NCL arrested for lying to Congress, lying to the American people, and for Treason!

  • We must save her! It's a crime aganist history if we do not!

  • do NOT scrap this ship or i will never sail on NCL ever. especially if it ends up on a sandbar like american star and left to rot
