And 3 sailors on the destroyer died 😞 so apparently unlimited funding wasn't enough 😮 armored hulls went the way of the Dodo when missiles came about. There were actually 2 navy ship/tanker collisions recently. USS McCain and USS Fitzgerald. Both resulted in deaths. In both cases the cargo ships did hit the Navy ships but it was the fault of the Navy ships, not the tankers. Just in the last few weeks it was determined that the McCain was actually 80% responsible for the collision. And they were more than just dents, the McCain's hull was sliced open.

middlehaitch Posted June 30, 2022 #153 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Probably docked in Victoria because the ship made good enough time down from Alaska to comply with the PVSA while still Docking in Seattle in time for regular disembarkation. The Esquimalt Graving Dock in Victoria is the largest dry dock on the west coast (hard bottomed), it is not a military dock. It has been used for cruise ship repair and refurbishment but I can't see the Sun booked in at present (not saying it will not be used if a dry dock is needed, just no booking visible). Hope all goes well for those disembarking and sorry to those who will miss their upcoming cruise(s). Cheers, h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless nobody was killed. Even if the ship was stopped, waiting for fog to clear, and the videos don't show a lot of fog, the growler could still have struck the ship, it is moving as well. This has happened before. 1 hour ago, Muffin Slayer said: Like that Concordia. So many were killed in such shallow water. Could have happened the same thing, just worse. Not at all like the Concordia. Big difference between a free floating chunk of ice and an outcropping of Italian granite. And people lost their lives for one reason only, and it wasn't that the ship had torn a hole in the side. It was because Schettino acted in a completely irresponsible manner, and did not muster the passengers when he knew the ship was sinking (about 7 minutes after striking), and could have had the passengers and most of the crew away long before the ship grounded again on Giglio Island (which is when she started to roll over), which was an hour and three quarters later. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted June 30, 2022 #170 Share Posted June 30, 2022 @jskinsd I have just read your letter again. I do NOT see that there is a value limit on the FCC in the letter. Find the LONGEST cruise you can find time for and use the 100% FCC to book the Haven or the most expensive suite. All you will pay are the taxes etc and the DSC. Do it as soon as it appears on July 7th All the best; good luck Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casofilia Posted June 30, 2022 #172 Share Posted June 30, 2022 If you paid any of the costs of this cruise with a credit card and the expiry date of the cruise card has passed then YOU have to CONTACT NCL to inform them of the new expiry date. They will try to refund the money; it will be returned and they then do NOTHING!!! I have had this happen twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
