Rare Hlitner Posted July 19, 2023 #76 Share Posted July 19, 2023 That is fantastic news. If true, the ship should have no problem getting to Copenhagen in time for the 8/1 voyage. Hank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh2Bcruisin Posted July 20, 2023 #79 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Finally some progress… Just checked the status of Explora on marinetraffic.com. The AIS (automatic information system) on the ship shows they’re planning on arriving in Barcelona on 7/24 at 6:30. As of now they haven’t departed from the Monfalcone,Italy port.

Well, it is about 1 hour after your post and AIS shows she is on her way to Barcelona :). Now showing an ETA (Barcelona) of 0430 on the 24th, Hooray!

frankhi Posted July 20, 2023 #82 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Explora cost 600M USD for 461 cabins, where the new Silversea Nova, also just delivered, cost 205M for 363 cabins. i.e 1.3M per cabin compared to 565K per cabin. Should be pretty nice! Edited July 20, 2023 by frankhi 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajouni Posted July 20, 2023 #83 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Wow! That’s an interesting fact. Can’t wait to see for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted July 21, 2023 Author #84 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Let’s hope they have some cents left to put things right for those whose July holiday plans were so disrupted. Has anyone had anything paid back yet or got any response to their communications re the very low recompense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungojerrie Posted July 21, 2023 #85 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Not a peep from EJ directly. However our TA asked for our banking info and receipts. Evidently they will be reimbursing us via wire transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently they will be reimbursing us via wire transfer. Still no communication 🥲. Obviously more interested in the current PR than putting it right for those who were so messed about. Their first chance to show they were really different has not been a success. I can’t get excited about pretty pictures or our November cruises until the refund is in my account (especially as the replacement holiday cost us so much being a last minute booking) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry you are going through this but my communication with my travel specialist has been great so far. I have rescheduled for August 1 and it was very fast.
