megr1125 Posted February 19, 2012 #201 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I think most of us are so used to Radio ON a ship that some just.. assumed. In fact the first time I saw this thread with his name attached to it I thought for one second .. wow another "LIVE" thread from Radio. I'll just have to wait for the real deal. Hoping everyone has a wonderful cruise on board the Enchantment. We ARE spoiled aren't we!! WELL SOME of us only have to wait another 80-some odd days and we will see another LIVE thread for real....;) and there are a BUNCH of us who will be there in person!! heehee:o:p (wonder who??) is it normal to have 2 tugs following the eos? Or is this part of the trials? noticed it on http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/ I am thinking (do not be alarmed) that it's a combo of precaution and checking things out....just in case something happens. I am trying to remember if we had tugs nearby on EX with the broken prop...i don't REMEMBER seeing them close to us, I'll have to see if I have any photos of that....

Mr. Bungle Posted February 19, 2012 #205 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just read from the RollCall for this cruise that they are getting a $300 OBC and will miss KeyWest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC104 Posted February 19, 2012 #206 Share Posted February 19, 2012 We kept a boat in Annapolis for many years, and the passengers are going to enjoy seeing the scenery on the Chesapeake as they sail during the day, instead of sailiing by everything at night. I was remembering when the Grandeur hit the pier in Costa Maya and put a gaping hole in the front. We were in New Orleans waiting to board that weekend and the ship never arrived:eek: They had to fix the hole in Mexico and couldn't sail, so those of us who arrived in NO a few days before the cruise were stuck. It took RC a few days to figure out what to do, so they finally gave us the option of a fully refunded cruise, or a reduced 5 day cruise (instead of 8) at a reduced price. At first they weren't offering any accommodations in NO for those waiting, so we took the refund and submitted our bills to the Travel Insurance (a must to have when cruising) and they repaid everything we spent, so it turned out to be a free New Orleans vacation and we had a fabulous time there....Of course it was disappointing not to do the "Mystery Cruise" we had signed up for, but it hasn't kept me from sailing again, and again, and again:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar King Posted February 19, 2012 #208 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I might pay 300 dollars to miss Key West. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpeCerevisi Posted February 19, 2012 #209 Share Posted February 19, 2012 We are currently stopped just south of the Bay Bridge for a planned test of the motor. I'm sure the tugs accompanied us in case we required assistance to return to port. Hopefully the tests will be successful and we will be resuming our voyage soon.

BillB48 Posted February 19, 2012 #225 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hmmmm, just looked and the speed is just a tad over 2 knots. Hope the tests are going as they hoped?? The tug Harriet Moran is still shadowing the EN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
