Dear Friends,

As you migth know last year appeared in the cruise market a new British/Cyprus cruise company that intended to make weekly cruises departing from Cuba.Unfortunately they operated only for 4 months, I suppose.
Amazingly they announced that they would start their cruise operations after their bougth of the "Odysseus" of ROC,which would be renamed "Joy Wave" in fact they even made preview postcards and photos of this ship with their colours( I saw some), however at the last time the business did not went well, and the new "Joy Wave"- yes,the "Odysseus" was renamed for a week as "JoyWave", in a positional voyage from Piraeus to the ship yard that would be encharge of her transformation.
But, this really was only for one week, and instead they chartered the "Queen Constantina" (ex-Queen Eleni) of the cyprus based company New Marathon Cruises as the brand new Legend Cruises "Joy Wave"
This ship called at Funchal at her postional voyage to Cuba and she really looked horrible,so, after reading the news that Legend Cruises closed their opeartions, I would like to know where is presently the "Joy Wave", and if possible I would like to know if someone has got available a photos from this ship with Legend Cruises colours, as well as the preview postcard of the "Odysseus" as Joy Wave".

Best regards from Madeira Island,

During a recent "cruise" to Rhodes on the Calypso I have seen Queen Constantina docked in the port of Limassol, Cyprus. She really looked horrible with rust and dirt signs on all of her walls.

Unfortunately I have no photos at this moment.

By the way QC was arrested for sometime last year, wasn't?

When I saw the Queen Constantina some weeks ago in Piraeus she didn't look horrible, she was in perfect confdition, so something has been done to her.
