I knew she has been renamed MV Oasia, however I wasn't sure what was happening with her so thanks for letting me know. :)

At the moment she´s notsailing to Rangoon. She  is now close Singapore and the  next port of call is Sattahip, Thailand. My gues is that she will never sail to Rangoon and the ownership of her will change soon or it has already been changed. Why stay weeks at Phuket and then   sail to Sattahip if the owners has some plans for her at Rangoon?

Surprised Saga did not get them to change the livery, at very least the funnel!

that's ASSUMING she has changed ownership.

The Queen Mary and Rotterdam still have the same livery, and they are owned by other companies than their original owners.

That is true Hank. The QE2 is still in her livery too.

 Hi June, looking at this site she is tied up alongside , as denoted by the white diamond with black spot. looks like she's going nowhere any time, maybe in use as a hotel (wouldn't that be nice).

June, this site shows her alongside & apparently closed up, no lights etc etc. also looks like only 1 lifeboat present at aft end.
