norwegian getaway was floated out the other day at a shipyard in Germany.

What's next for her?

Well, it was actually pretty exciting.

So the float-out is a pretty important milestone in the ship's construction

because essentially she is in dry dock, water's added.

She then floats out and is pulled out of the construction building where she's been for the last year or so.

And the next stage, for about the next 10 days, they'll be getting her ready as they'll turn her around,

and then she'll head north up the River M... up to uh... where she's going to be
