So much for the saying about lightening not striking twice...

Earlier in the year, as we documented here on CruisingTalk, Navigator o/t Seas suffered a problem with one of her stabilisers on her Transatlantic crossing. The offending article was removed at Cascais, Portugal upon instruction from the Portugese authorities after she arrived in Lisbon.

Well when Navigator o/t Seas reached Port Everglades, she had her other stabiliser removed on December 15.

No word as to the reason for the second 'amputation', but she is expected to receive a new set of fins when she is in drydock at the end of January 2009.

The photo below was taken by a passenger on board and posted in several places on the net.
