MacMadame Posted June 4 #30 Share Posted June 4 12 minutes ago, Papadog said: Just found out.......THAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO GO TO THE CANARY ISLANDS Is that good or bad? It sounds like this ship isn't in as good shape as they thought. They should have pushed the start back a month in the beginning instead of two weeks at a time. It reads better politically, makes it easier to plan for the pax, and if the ship is done early, they can do a shake-down cruise with the crew.

My friends were burned by Life at Sea with their "we're having trouble transferring the funds but will have the ship next week" week after week.

MacMadame Posted June 27 #43 Share Posted June 27 Are they on the ship or just paid and are waiting for the ship to show up? (Confused) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VL1 Posted June 28 #44 Share Posted June 28 Very worrisome. It appears from the repeated mechanical failures that they have chosen a ship that is old (1993) and not sea worthy. I would love to know what is happening to the paying passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 3 Author #46 Share Posted July 3 The latest from Cruise Industry News: Villa Vie Residences to Set Sail July 20 But this is a projection based on completing a major replacement project for the "rudder stocks" and then getting certification. I hope the Canary Islands can hold their charm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VL1 Posted July 5 #49 Share Posted July 5 (edited) I will believe it when the eye sail away. The question is how long do the passengers wait until they ask for a refund or prorated trip? Then the line will say they don't have enough passengers and/or money to make the venture profitable. Oy vey.
