A luxury round-the-world cruise ship beset with technical delays and docked in rainy Belfast since May finally departed from the Northern Irish capital late Monday, prompting celebration among its passengers. "We are going to have one heck of a time tonight, we are going to party like there's no tomorrow," passenger Joe Martino told AFP before boarding. The Odyssey residential cruise ship was scheduled to set sail from the Northern Irish capital on May 30 on a three-and-a-half-year cruise. But outfitting, certification processes and engine repairs all took much longer than expected. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
