I'm surprised with sooo many phone cameras these days that NOBODY has taken a shot of the Oasis where its sitting in dock. 

 

Considering how easily and quickly news travels they have done so well to keep progress away from prying eyes it seems. 

 

Has anyone managed to spot anything on the ship or wha the final state the dock 2 was in after Oasis left?

Nope. Isn’t the Information Age wonderful?

Pilot Boat and Tug left.

Oasis still moored. 😞

 

I feel like we're being teased, hoping that it'll start making the journey soon only to be let down. I'll take solace in the fact that it does say Oasis is expected on April 18th in Cadiz which is all that really matters. Probably best not to invest so much time waiting for the blue rectangular shape to move away from the dock.

 Now I just wish they would hurry up and leave. May 5th is fast approaching and the suspense is killing me!

 

Good luck!  (And, I mean that in a nice way, not a snarky way 🙂. I really feel for everyone who has been impacted by this...)

If it takes 11 days to transit to Cardiz, she needs to leave today.

(and that doesn’t look likely)

your advice is well founded, re blue rectangles!

Does anyone know if she's taking the crane with her, or if they were able to get it off?  Just curious...

 

I'd say almost 0 chance they'd leave the crane on for the crossing. First of all, it's extra weight they wouldn't want to haul even if the authority would even let the ship leave with it on there. Also, it belongs to the shipyard, broke or not. 

 

They have a big crawler crane at the shipyard. It's probably much easier for them to get it off there and set it on the shore for disassembly than it would be to get it off if cadiz and put it on a barge.

All I got to say is this has to be a nightmare for the shipyard where the accident happened and for RCI trying to resolve all the issues and get the ship to Europe,

 

Wishing best to all who will sail on her over then next few weeks or months.  I bet the insurance company is keeping fingers crossed too.

Still berthed 

not a good sign after pilot boat approach earlier

I wonder if the investigation called for by the Bahaman government will delay it's departure.

Boy, everyone is taking a hit on that crane accident.  Three canceled cruises (April 7, 14 and 21). Cruise parking $348,000. Hotels taking a hit also. RC offered passengers… a full refund on their fare, a certificate in the value of 100% of their cruise be are paid and airfare change fees up to $200 per customer for domestic flights and $400 for international flights?

The investigation is into the shipyard, not the ship.

Something tells me when I go the Allure next month the casino may be tighter than usual and the drinks a little lighter on the booze. 🤑

Lol maybe. The financial analysts were predicting a $0.10 - 0.15 slip in the share price if the ship is out of service for four weeks. It won’t break the bank.

Yes, I got spooked by this a bit and sold my shares. But the price has actually gone up since. I thought it would be way more costly.

• She’s pulling away from the dock..😀

I think the blue rectangle is on the move!

 IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL! I think staring at it all day waiting for it to do something has driven me a bit crazy...

Thank you!

And the tugs with her are showing that they are staying at Freeport. So, safe to say they aren't planning on towing her. At least not at this point. 

[sailor05]

Yep, pulling out and picking up speed!
