Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America is one of the most interesting ships yet tackled on The Brick Executive Channel. Most just see her as an old, small, and awkward looking ship that doesn't deserve to exist. One must look beyond this common surface level criticism to truly understand why she is something different (in a good way). In fact, she almost never made it on many occasions. In this video, we explore the turbulent history of this ship, from her conception all the way to the present day. To cover her story, simple things like port of registry regulations up to complicated political legislation regarding U.S. passenger ship travel must be understood. This is one of the most simple yet complicated builds I have done when compared to the rest; it was especially fun working on the hull art along the forward hull! I hope you will both enjoy the video and come to appreciate this unique passenger ship as much as I do!
