kangforpres Posted May 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The Regent Sevens Seas Mariner is like 3 blocks from my home! The Oceania Regatta is in the Outer harbor, both waiting it out in Oakland until they know the Alaska season has been cancelled for their lines. Life ain't all that bad if you can look out a window and see a cruise ship! Happy Mother's Day, Paul 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonialinnkeeper Posted May 10, 2020 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2020 For me, it would be a major tease knowing it is sitting there and we won't be boarding any time soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangforpres Posted May 10, 2020 Author #6 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I'm thinking about contacting both Regent and Oceania and offering to be a volunteer guinea pig for their first sailings. -P. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kira5 Posted May 10, 2020 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I remember reading how one of the cruise ships (must have been a smaller one) went into a small town on Vancouver Island called Port Alberni. I think it meant a lot to this town; the mayor came out to greet them. I'm not from there but not too far away. I feel like some of the ports that turned their backs on cruise ships should maybe do without them for awhile. Try some new ones. Am I being too harsh? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat04 Posted May 10, 2020 #9 Share Posted May 10, 2020 How nice to be able to see some lovely cruise ships. Thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamOp Posted May 10, 2020 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hey, wait a minute. This thread has nothing to do with waiting for refunds or how the cruise lines are screwing over everyone. 😁 But thanks for the pictures anyhow!!😉 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunnorl Posted May 10, 2020 #11 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I live in Cocoa Beach, ( next to Port Canaveral). Carnival, RC, NCL and Disney are all parked here. The other day, an Oceania ship was here. They go in and out of port but mostly are just lined up across the bay. The captains are probably wondering who that fool is that is waving all the time! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a charming town; I had a nice excursion there. The people were lovely. I can't imagine a warmer reception. It would be nice to visit there again some day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted May 10, 2020 #13 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Thank you for sharing the pictures. Where we live, we can't look our the window and see any ships or boats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 10, 2020 #14 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I understand a third ship (perhaps NCL) is also coming to Oakland. From last night's news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of really nice people went out of their way to say welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotjeknor Posted May 11, 2020 #17 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The Regal Princess is currently in the Princess Amaliahaven in Rotterdam after disembarkation of European crew of the Holland America Group last Thursday. Tonight the Sky Princess will also be in port, tomorrow we can expect the Nieuw Statendam and Thursday the Seaborne Ovation. The Zaandam was supposed to come to Rotterdam for lay up as well , but I saw that the destination was changed to IJmuiden. Hopefully just temporarily. If we can’t can on them , it’s at least nice to look at em. The World Dream from Genting has been in lay up in the Waalhaven in Rotterdam since the end of march after a drydock in Rotterdam. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Himself Posted May 11, 2020 #19 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Thank you for the pictures. I miss seeing cruise ships on line. At this time we usually see ships in Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimum Posted May 11, 2020 #20 Share Posted May 11, 2020 San Diego has Celebrity Eclipse, Millenium and a Disney ship. Two ships at Broadway Pier and the other off the coast a Coronado. if you can believe the newspapers, the Eclipse still has recovering passengers from South America onboard.
