mainland coastal cruising for its new Homeland

Cruising brand. Veitch also told MR/EN that the line would not have normally announced a project so early, but felt the need to do so to dispel any industry rumors.

Since the process is still is still in its infancy stages,

Veitch could not say which shipyards would be respon- sible for the vessel's total overhaul. He did however provide a break down of whom he would contract for specific projects. "In terms of experience, it's more practical to have a U.S. yard work on the vessel's hull and superstructure, and to have a European yard per- form the outfitting." Would Veitch use the same tactics in choosing a design firm for the vessel's interiors? "It's too early to say," he said. "It doesn't make a difference (European or U.S.), but rather who has the ability to best capture the vessel's spirit." He also expressed the line's desire to connect with Westover and the United

States Foundation. In fact, NCL's director of commu- nications, Susan Robison was present at the

Foundation's first chapter meeting that occurred just a few days after its initial purchase, and that both Robison and Andy Stuart,

NCL's senior VP of sales and marketing, have plans to meet with Westover to discuss the vessel's future.
