In this deep-dive interview, we go beyond the statistics to discover the heart of the man who documented the Golden Age of travel. Inside the Episode The Hoboken Origins: Bill shares vivid memories of his childhood on the New Jersey waterfront. Discover how growing up in the shadow of the great New York piers, watching titans like the Queen Mary and the United States glide past his window, ignited a passion that would define his life. A Love Affair with Steel and Steam: From his first voyages to his transition from a schoolteacher to a world-renowned historian, Bill discusses what it is about the "Floating Palaces" that captures the human imagination like nothing else. The Day the World Changed: In a poignant segment, Bill reflects on the maritime community’s response to 9/11. Drawing from his deep ties to the New York Harbor, he discusses how that day reshaped the security and soul of America. The Chris Frame Connection: Bill opens up about his long-standing friendship with fellow historian Chris Frame. Learn how their shared mission to preserve maritime legacy resulted in iconic books and why mentorship is vital for the next generation of ship enthusiasts. The Horizon Ahead: What does the future hold for cruising? Bill moves from the nostalgic past to the cutting-edge future, offering his expert take on mega-ships, environmental sustainability, and whether the "romance of the sea" can survive in a high-tech world. "To understand where the cruise industry is going, you have to look at the wake it left behind.

    A $100 Million Gamble: Why Norwegian Spirit is Now NCL’s Best Ship [And maybe the world’s best] Ep32

    Is it possible that the oldest ship in a major cruise fleet is actually its best? In this episode of The Expert Cruise Show, we take a deep dive into the extraordinary transformation of the Norwegian Spirit.NCL took a massive $100 million gamble. Instead of a simple "refresh," they gut-renovated the ship from bow to stern, stripping away the traditional mega-ship features to create something entirely unique: a "boutique" adult-centric experience.In this episode, we discuss:The $100M Transformation: Why NCL chose to spend a fortune on a 20-year-old hull instead of building new.Adults-Only Pivot: The bold decision to remove kids’ areas to create the stunning Spice H2O and the Mandara Thermal Suite.Global Standard Dining: How Onda by Scarpetta and the double-height Windows dining room rival the billion-dollar Prima Class ships.The Boutique Advantage: Why the smaller scale of Norwegian Spirit makes it the perfect vessel for port-intensive itineraries in Japan, Alaska, and Australia.Maritime Heritage: Examining her Meyer Werft "bones" and why her 1990s design offers a connection to the sea that modern "floating hotels" often lack.Whether you're a maritime history enthusiast or looking for a more sophisticated way to cruise in 2026, the Norwegian Spirit is a case study in how to get a refit right.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join—✅ DOWNLOAD your own "Yes - I Watch The Expert Cruise Show" sign here: https://www.chriscunard.com/wp-content/uploads/YES-Expert-Cruise-Show.pdf 🛳️ Subscribe to Chris' Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com📚 Browse Chris' Books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books👕 Support the channel at our Cruise Merch store: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com✅ Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join--🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP & THE CRUISE GLOBE: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.
