Rare Keith1010 Posted March 14, 2023 #3501 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Not sure why it reversed but both ships are having all their work done there otter than anything required in a traditional dry dock which will come closer to their sailings.

Roy I'll bet it's that alternating day of the week which-side-of-the-street you can park on thing. Which makes me wonder: how big a roll of quarters would you need to feed the meter for a parked cruise ship? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crickette Posted March 14, 2023 #3503 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I see this forum is now labelled CRYSTAL. Wasn't it formerly NEW Crystal? I also looked for the old forum, and I don't see it. Am I just missing it? Can't see for looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL that IP and valuable information and memories vaporised - no longer accessible at all as far as I can see Not the best decision IMHO but some got what they wanted CC must be about the only place where the line between NC and OC is so clear - everywhere else it varies between “they’re new and different entities” to “it’s the same as old Crystal” Oh well time will tell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at one member with a very high post count list of which we’re on old Crystal it seems the post count hasn’t reduced at all Its a real shame to lose all that history and IP / knowledge - let it be a lesson to us all that things on social media are at the mercy of the site owners in terms of access and retention - sites come and go but in this case it seems the deletion of the old forum and it’s contents were deleted when it wasn’t really necessary to do so 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctjon Posted March 15, 2023 #3513 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The old history that used to exist on the old Crystal site are also gone I had found that I could actually lookup cruise itineraries from years ago. It is time to move on but .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare May B Posted March 15, 2023 #3514 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) I thought they warned us of the planned purge, and asked us to report any threads we wanted saved. Still, it seems a shame to lose all that history. Edited March 15, 2023 by May B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in St Paul we do the car parking shuffle so snow plows can get in to plow, ambulances and fire trucks can get through, and meters are paid via an app using your credit card, bank account, etc. Also if it were the old Crystal who had to pay for parking of the ships, I think the locals would want the quarters!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted March 15, 2023 #3516 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I'm pretty sure that Fincantieri is doing the renovations and the ships are in one of their shipyards. I don't think that there is a lot of cruise ship building activity right now and Serenity may be in a dry dock (flooded or not) because that is a good available space while Symphony is at one of the fitting docks. If that is true there would be access to both sides of Serenity while Symphony might turn around periodically to allow access to the side of the ship where the greatest renovations are under way. It makes since for Serenity to get the drydock as she will be the first to need it as such. Just a guess. It would sure be nice if the Panoflex Camera were still active.

There’s enough exercise to be had walking from breakfast to lunch and then afternoon tea, hauling yourself up to the pool for post lunch cocktails, dragging yourself back to your cabin for afternoon nibbles and a glass of champagne on the balcony and then traipsing around the bars in search of canapés and a few cocktails before dinner. By the time you’ve sat through 5 courses I’m surprised anyone had the energy left to seek out late night drinks and nibbles in the Avenue let alone go running along a rubber belt! And don’t even start me on port days! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
