cruiserking Posted September 15, 2020 #677 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Just learned that our June 2021 Empress to Bermuda cruise has been canceled as the ship has been redeployed. Very disappointed, love the Empress and was looking forward to cruising into Hamilton and St. George. Perhaps Empress will be sailing out 0f Europe. I hope she is sailing somewhere as part of the the RCCL fleet. Jonathan Edited September 15, 2020 by cruiserking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means Royal Caribbean is moving the Empress from one spot to another. She is moving from Cape Liberty in New Jersey to some other port.

cruiserking Posted September 15, 2020 #682 Share Posted September 15, 2020 My mistake. Empress is not being redeployed. It was another cruise line, Crown Princess being redeployed. Empress to Bermuda is still a go. Carry on. Jonathan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Aliga is the port in Turkey where many of us expect Empress will be scrapped in the near future.

WeMissSeaView Posted September 15, 2020 #687 Share Posted September 15, 2020 The transponder has now been turned off on the Carnaval Imagination that was anchored in the bay by the scrapyard. The second round is lining up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get your heart too set on cruising to Bermuda on Empress. Well aware of that ill fated destination. I have already had my heart crushed numerous times with canceled cruises. As of right now Empress is scheduled for Bermuda, Royal Caribbean says she's staying in the fleet, that works for me.

Sunshine3601 Posted September 16, 2020 #691 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Yes very sad to see all the rust on the last close up photo I saw of her. I suspect that is not a good sign for her. I would think they would stay ontop of that and do regular painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan I'm booked on a September Empress Canada cruise out of Montreal with a wonderful itinerary, and it's still bookable. However, I have no expectation that Empress will ever sail that itinerary. Wondering whether the Empress will be scrapped or sold is a different scenario than wondering whether my May 2021 Jewel cruise will be sailing in Europe.

renieg813 Posted September 16, 2020 #697 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I’ve had 15 cruises canceled, 4 of them were on Empress in June. I sailed Empress to Cuba in December 2018. Love that ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
