Rare Rob_H Posted March 14, 2022 #604 Share Posted March 14, 2022 The Spirit is approaching Singapore, due to arrive March 15, 04:00. Will the planned restart in Tahiti on May 7th happen? It's looking hopeful. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted March 15, 2022 #605 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Jewel expected to arrive in Gibraltar 15 March. POA enroute to Honolulu, ETA 18 March. Star, after spending the winter in the Bahamas, in & out of Miami, etc, left Freeport two days ago and is enroute to Gibraltar, ETA 27 May. Jade went to Marseille from Genoa last week and is still there. As Rob_H said, Spirit is now near Singapore. Sun still hanging around off the Panama Canal on the Pacific side.

bluesea777 Posted March 15, 2022 #606 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Right now, according to marinetraffic, Spirit is in Singapore anchorage, with a bunkering tanker on starboard side and an oil products tanker on port side. It's a long way to Papeete Tahiti, and her first cruise is on 7 May. Wonder if she will stop at someplace(s) on the way. Excited for Spirit as she is our new fave ship! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL lol, there is a thread or 2 already out there on Joy … and they have gotten quiet, meaning the Joy is a go …. However, we’re at the terminal and there is a huge snaking queue - apparently people from the cancelled 3/19 Escape cruise are on this ship! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted March 30, 2022 #613 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Now that I'm back from a fabulous Joy cruise to the Western Caribbean, it's time to move this from page 11 to front with new titbits! Jewel arrived to Colon Panama as scheduled and is now cruising the Panama Canal itself with passengers. Jade arrived to Civitavecchia this morning and picked up passengers. She has already set sail on a 9 day cruise to Athens. Star arrived in Barcelona a couple or so days ago and is due to set sail on Sunday April 3rd with passengers to Venice (Trieste). This leaves Pride of America (which has already arrived to Honolulu), Sun, Spirit .... and .... Escape. The latter was grounded a couple of weeks ago in DR and is now sitting in Port Canaveral being repaired. Her few sailings were cancelled. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted April 1, 2022 #617 Share Posted April 1, 2022 A new titbit here … Spirit is on the move, heading to “OPL South China”, eta April 3. Wonder if she will head to Manila to pick up crew (read: Aan, the Head Mixologist 😉). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're booked on the next two cruises after that (Honolulu-Papeete, and back) so following her progress with interest! The Jewel restarting recently in Panama is a good sign, there seems to be a push to get all the ships back in service as scheduled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking at a globe, not Google Maps, and can see that the distance between Cambodia and Tahiti is almost double the distance between Gibraltar and San Juan. So Spirit is in for a very long journey to Papeete …. let’s hope she has smooth seas all the way, if not most of the way. Bon Voyage Miss Spirit!!

Rare Rob_H Posted April 8, 2022 #622 Share Posted April 8, 2022 The Spirit is on the move again. Heading to "PJSB" which appears to be where she'll pick up the pilot to enter Singapore. It's still (just) possible for her to get to Papeete by the first cruise on May 7. It's 12000 km great circle distance (further for a real route), 500km travelled a day, 24 days. We should know in the next few days if it'll happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm calculating correctly 500km per day would be less than 12 knots, so I think she could make it there much sooner if necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I halved the result somehow. 1000 I'm per day is just about achievable at full speed. Plenty of time, good job I'm not navigating. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted April 8, 2022 #625 Share Posted April 8, 2022 According to MarineTraffic, Spirit is being bunkered right now. She is in PJSB anchorage, not docked in Singapore. Won't be long before she is on her way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
