I am going to speculate that this was not her actual course.

 

 

I speculate it will look like this, but on a larger scale.

Thanks for the shot of the deck 10 boardwalk balcony we should have been in today.😒

 

Today would have been lovely for sail away.

Can I speculate?  With smoke only coming from one stack, that means she is only running engines on that side.  Which engines are running has nothing to do with anything, except that she has 3 larger engines and 3 smaller engines.

 

 

This is only one set of the stacks. Can't see the other set. 🤔

Additional thoughts. Does Oasis only have one scrubber?

Tugs meeting up with her. Headed to Dry dock.

Ah the internet.  What exactly did previous generations do without instant access to information?

Possible, but don't think so.  Only having a scrubber for some, not all, of the engines would mean that they are playing a trade off game with operating speed while in the ECA's (i.e. only running the engines on the scrubbers while in the ECA, hence slower speed), or adding a non-scrubber engine that has been switched to diesel fuel.  It all comes down to cost analysis and payback periods for the capital expense of the scrubbers versus the increased cost in fuel.

Now that she's in the drydock we patiently await to hear the condition of her underside. Apparently Lloyd has been unshackled from his social media blackout so perhaps some photos soon!

Lifeboat on the loose lol.

It looks like all the lifeboats are on the loose somewhere.

Some of the people booked on the cancelled TA booked on the April 27 12 day TA Norwegian Getaway out of NY.

Friday 8 days before sailing NCL cut 2 days off the itinerary.

Talk about unhappy cruisers. Some of the Oasis refugees are thinking they are jinxed.

Yes, and it’s like herding cats once they get loose lol. (Probably to reduce weight and/or trim the ship while in dry dock.)

I have been following this topic and have  found it fascinating.  The fact it was almost "real time" was great.  I find everything posted by Chengkp75 on this, and every other topic he posts, to be most insightful.  Seeing all of the lifeboats floating around reminded me that sometimes at the various ports they will release one (or two) lifeboats for crew training, etc.  Maybe they are trying to do it all at once, to get it completed for the next reporting period, or however often they need training, etc.

I second this notion. There hasn't been anywhere else I've found, from the various book with faces groups to boards here, that have had anywhere near the amount of information especially so quickly. It is basically a consolidation point of all the information presently available. It's also a very interesting mix of people, from marine experts to professional stalkers (or CIA agents, not sure which).  Also people scattered across various time zones around the world means nearly around the clock updates. All pretty cool!

Speculate over the landline phone or via the written letter (paper & envelopes) with pen pals.

Ah yes the old days with the party line phones - half the neighrborhood could gossip and chat about the other half.

Bow Thrusters

[DerekB]

Bow thrusters look fine, little scraped up from use. What I am curious to see is the aft end of the ship.

I believe "many were hopeful" about drydock Saturday; doubt if anyone was certain about that; "salt" would be appropriate.

 

While the thread contains lots of speculation, some wild, I think there has been a decent amount of expert opinion and education as well.

 

"Just the Facts, ma'am"...I remember that show, and that show was also "Entertaining" Most of us like both...
