Rare steamboats Posted November 15, 2018 #277 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Today in the German news is an article about delays at Meyer Werft. Todays hand over of the AIDAnova has been delayed until later this month with the first cruise now Dec 2nd. First cruise should have been today. Another newspaper talks about delays concerning the Spectrum of the Seas and the Spirit of Discovery too. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nova's delay doesn't mean Spectrum will necessarily be delayed. Right? RIGHT??? Fingers crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nova's delay doesn't mean Spectrum will necessarily be delayed. Right? RIGHT??? Fingers crossed... It´s not totally speculation. The newspaper referred to an internal company newsletter. They were asking the workers to increase the work hours to 45 hours per week to get back into the timeline. Spectrum is the next ship to be delivered. They still can make it for sure. Of course AIDAnova is a new prototype ship and therefore there are still some kinks to be worked out which take longer than expected (I remember the Quantum....). But usually Meyer is pretty well known for keeping their delivery dates. So this is something to worry about. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lighthousemom Posted November 22, 2018 #287 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Spectrum's Barcelona to Dubai is no longer showing on the website. Any further updates for us as to whether or not Spectrum will be ready for April? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted November 22, 2018 #288 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) ^ that doesn't bode well - she might end up like Quantum with a bunch of the work finished on the way to Dubai and this time they might not want customers on board. It may be a costly, and on CC, an ugly cancellation. Biker, who is expecting the Meyer cheerleader to weigh in soon.

Rare steamboats Posted November 23, 2018 #291 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Currently construction is not up to the schedule. But it´s too early to say the delivery / hand over will be delayed. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miamia65 Posted November 23, 2018 #292 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Steamboats, where is your Intell from, can you post a screenshot of the newspaper article or facts that state that spectrum is delayed ... I have read that Aidanova is delayed due to LNG issues which is unique to this ship. How would this affect Spectrum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read that Aidanova is delayed due to LNG issues which is unique to this ship. How would this affect Spectrum? I´ve linked to one of the articles in a previous post. The original article was published in a local newspaper called Osnabrücker Zeitung which is avilable online for payment only. It was covered by dpa (new agency like Reuters) and therefore spread into newspapers all over Germany. No, the AIDAnova is not delayed because of the new LNG engines. It was delayed because the overall interior work was not yet finished. Osnabrücker Zeitung quoted from an internal newletter to the staff. They specifically mentioned Spectrum and Spirit of Discovery being behind the schedule and asked the workers to increase their weekly working hours up to 45 hours to get back into the schedule. It´s a fact that Spectrum and Spirit of Discovery are currently behind the schedule. As I said before it´s not yet a fact that the ships will be delivered late. There is still a lot of time til delivery and they can make it up. steamboats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit different from Quantum, Anthem and Ovation, and unlike them, with a big yellow ball on the back. Here is a photo from back in October.
