Unless they are there to transport crew from the region when a restart occurs, it doesn't look good for those 4 ships. I wonder how many ships can be beached at one time. Since Infinity and Constellation are considered rather modern, built in 2001 or so, they seem very safe to survive this crisis, however the goal might be to sell those two ships off once markets will recover and not to sail again for the X brand. 8 hours ago, Ourusualbeach said: Of course they are going to say that. They are not going to announce major plans like that based on an impromptu question. They hinted again today that they are also looking into selling of ships (for which I would see Infinity and Constellation in the race) and other measures to save costs. Hence it seems to be a matter of week or a couple of months before Empress and maybe even Majesty will end up in Turkey for dismantling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare livingonthebeach Posted August 11, 2020 #180 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Why is Empress making so many quick port stops? Has cruising restarted and we don't know about it? Putzing around Europe for potential buyers? LOL 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeMissSeaView Posted August 12, 2020 #186 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Looks like she is just killing time. After sailing away from the island she has now turned south and is heading back to the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be our last chance for a truly beneficial L&S. 🤣 Anybody see anything good? We have a B2B on the Empress for June 2021. Bermuda and Canada out of Bayonne.

BigAl94 Posted August 12, 2020 Author #190 Share Posted August 12, 2020 She is the sole ship of her class and the oldest vessel in the Royal Caribbean fleet so I doubt if she has a future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
