The vessel departed from MIAMI, US on 2020-07-31 12:32 LT (UTC -4) and is currently sailing at 17.5 knots with Northeast direction heading to GIBRALTAR, GI with reported Estimated Time of Arrival at 2020-08-10 01:00 LT (UTC -4) local time (in 7 days, 6 hours ) I wonder how many NCLH ships are still left in US waters? So are Oceania Riviera and Sirena as well as additional NCL ships. Something is afoot; hopefully we will find out on Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greykitty Posted August 3, 2020 #404 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Wonder if any other NCLH ships will join their NCL and Oceana sisters, if this article is accurate. Does this sound like cold lay up at all? Wonder if the 2Q earnings report will shed any light. Also wondering if the earnings report is being amended due to the weekend news. https://www.curacaochronicle.com/post/main/five-norwegian-cruise-line-ships-in-curacao-ports-for-the-long-term/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you will find any real experts here on this forum. Most of the people here are casual cruise lovers and frequent tourists. Technical aspects are discussed in separate threads and forums, so I wouldn't try looking for any valuable information in here.

mrlevin Posted August 4, 2020 #409 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thought I would link here a short blog post from a crew member (don't know which line but Regatta is currently only ship in LA) regarding new procedures for crew. http://crew-center.com/signing-new-normal-adapting-new-life-working-board Marc 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuba diver Posted August 7, 2020 #410 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Splendor may be on the way to Gibraltar. According to Marine Traffic they will arrive August 17th. Either Crossing the T or headed to Barcelona for the November 3rd or 13th cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greykitty Posted August 7, 2020 #413 Share Posted August 7, 2020 @SusieQft, you may have the winners there. You and others posting may have hit all the points Frank del Rio alluded to in the earnings call yesterday and that this story seems to confirm. https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/cruise-ships-depart-us-ports-for-european-lay-up I guess people could play a guessing game about whether the ships currently dealing with repatriation efforts will join their sisters, or be kept more active in case the most hopeful predictions come true and a limited number of ships are able to sail in late 2020 or early 2021. Certainly a logistical exercise few would have anticipated anytime in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like if you have a cruise totally outside of US waters, in the Med say, there maybe a chance for the cruise to sail in 2020. A few months can bring a lot of improvements since there have already been some trail balloons in Europe. Since the CDC seems to be moving at glacial speed setting the terms to sail for the cruise ships in US waters, It will probably still be 2021 before anything sails out of a US port. We also don’t know what is going to happen with Covid spread in the Fall. Or if we will have a vaccine or some kind of treatment that really works. The scientist are making breakthroughs all the time...T cell knowledge, man made antibodies and the like. We just have to be patient and careful.

Marc Marc, do you have some kind of inside information about when RSSC will start their cruises? Does this mean that they think that the 2021 WC will sail from Miami?

flossie009 Posted August 15, 2020 #420 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Splendor is now passing north of the island of Madeira, heading for Gibraltar; ETA Mon Aug 17; then presumably onward to lay-up at one of the Italian ports until cruising recommences.

Ladys Mom Posted August 15, 2020 #421 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Given that the WC is now on “waitlist” wherever the Mariner is, it will not be sailing soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted August 17, 2020 #422 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Splendour now on the way to Ravenna, Italy. That will mean that most of the fleet for NCLH will be in Italy (along with Sweden and Denmark). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwn Posted August 17, 2020 #424 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Does any one know if the crew not under contract has managed to get home.....at least the Regent non essential crew. One news media story over the weekend said there were some 20,000(?) crew members still waiting to get home from RCCL and CCL ships in US waters even though they had sailed many back home. NCL was not mentioned in the news piece. I know several CCL ships sailed many crew members from various ships home to some Asian countries....the captain of the HAL Amsterdam was bogging about his trials and tribulations dealing with the governments before he was able to be relived so he could retire.
