Can they go through the new locks? IIRC after the escape they moved the lifeboats in a bit, allowing the Bliss, Encore and Joy enough space to transit. I've been looking at a couple of the Joy's full transits for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even taking the lifeboats off for the transit, she is too wide, since the davits are "fixed" with the boats outside the ship. 21 hours ago, Ixtoras said: IIRC after the escape they moved the lifeboats in a bit, allowing the Bliss, Encore and Joy enough space to transit.

They used a different davit for these ships, where the davit retracts into the ship, bringing the boat and davit arms closer to the side of the ship. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
