xDisconnections Posted August 24, 2020 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2020 There could be many reasons why it’s in Curaçao of which we may never know. Hopefully it’s there to strip the ship of valuables and send it on its way to the scrapyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted August 25, 2020 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The Imagination was the only Fantasy Class ship that we hadn't sailed on yet. Had a cruise booked on her for October 2021, so we missed our chance. ☹ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess technically that would have been a side2side2side. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still rumored but extremely likely at this point. It's just one blog copying another blog who copied Cruise Critic who saw the data on MarineTraffic. The cruise line is still in possession of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseman90 Posted August 30, 2020 #15 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I've taken four cruises on her from 2006-2011 (tied with NCL Escape as far as my most-sailed ship is concerned), so this is a major bummer. While she may have not had all the bells and whistles of some larger ships, let alone some of her Fantasy-class sisters, I enjoyed the combined 16 nights I've spent on her!

I’ve had several vacations canceled this year but they simply weren’t meant to me. Only a couple cruises but mostly land vacations.

I mean, I am sure most of them (or even all of your vacations) were cancelled due to the fact that they were involving lots of people gathering in once place, but you could always travel somewhere where there would be much less people or no people at all.

Some grand canyon visit thing or something As sad as it sounds, I try to avoid traveling within the United States. If I’m in the country, I’m expected to answer the phone when it rings. As I live where people vacation, I try to go as remote as I can. Domestically, the hotel options don’t cooperate to allow that based on my preferences. It’s actually one of the major appeals for me when referencing the cruise industry. Edited August 30, 2020 by xDisconnections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why dont you just take a plane and fly somewhere far? Some island in the ocean or maybe a less populated country with not much to do in it? (like Sweden or Finland lol). I mean I understand that cruising is very fun on its own and allows you to visit a variety if different places.. but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

International travel is somewhat restrictive right now and I’m not fond of staying at luxury brands with a motel experience due to franchise owners trying to save on labor.

Last I looked, for tourist travel there were about a dozen countries in the world that let you in with a US passport - another thirty with restrictions like mandatory quarantines, and everyone else was "stay home". Sweden and Finland included. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/us-international-travel-covid-19/index.html Open: Albania, Belarus, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Kosovo, Maldives, Mexico, North Macedonia, Serbia, Tunisia, Turkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
