No New NCL Ships on the Horizon?

Rumors of a dispute between Norwegian Cruise Line and Aker Yards in France have surfaced in the last several days from Europe.  It is believed that conflict over cost increases and final delivery price of the first of two planned F3 Class ships for NCL may result in a cancellation or significant delay in delivery.  The first of these 150,000 ton vessels was due to start service in 2010.
