Rare LaRue1975 Posted December 12, 2023 #227 Share Posted December 12, 2023 She is about to dock in Victoria, yay! Here is a link to the Ship Report podcast, this site has been invaluable for information during Panorama’s adventure to be repaired. It is also very interesting to learn about all the maritime workers that made it possible for our ship to be repaired in time for the Holiday cruises. Yesterday's podcast was a summery of everything that went into getting it done, it’s very interesting and kudos to all that came to the rescue. We will definitely raise a glass on board in toast to you in the Pacific Northwest, thank you! ❤️🛳️❤️ https://shipreport.net/2023/12/11/the-carnival-panorama-heads-back-to-victoria-as-the-saga-continues/?fbclid=IwAR12bznsEBD-lZlVyPdB1JS6_0KiCcX17hemNHM7H5AzOEpx8zwoyruEgKI_aem_AYGr-LOd2xGyaiw4d0TS3z7e8lCcwtzCNXeXfn21cED4s4ja1-lwXEGW3v58Y-OAY44 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chengkp75 Posted December 12, 2023 #229 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The question now is when she will move to the shipyard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adoris Posted December 14, 2023 #230 Share Posted December 14, 2023 From a Victoria source…. Carnival Panorama will be getting her pilot tomorrow morning (Dec 14) around 6:00 am and will be moving from Ogden Point over to the North Wall in Esquimalt Harbour to get her whale tail funnel put back on. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we’ll all be glad to see her moved to the facility that will put her tail back on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted December 14, 2023 #232 Share Posted December 14, 2023 So, it took about 5 days to remove the funnel, so starting today would mean leaving on the 19th, with about 3 days steaming to Long Beach, gets her there around the 22nd. That's making about 17-18 knots all the way, what day do the first passengers board? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm this, as my boarding group time is 12-12:30pm on Dec 23rd. I'm only guessing here, but maybe the funnel is easier to put on than to remove? With the team being more prepared this time around and scafolding is quicker to take down than assembling, maybe it will only be 4 days before she can head to LB? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LaRue1975 Posted December 14, 2023 #238 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I’m not sure of the exact timeline but I am sure she will be in Long Beach on time. Carnival would not be so publicly confident if there was any question it will happen.. I’m all checked in for the New Years cruise, whoo-hoo! 🥳🛳️🥳 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ-EmptyNesters Posted December 17, 2023 #247 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Just seen this on the one ship tracker website. ETA is to be in LB on the 21st. YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted December 17, 2023 #248 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Not sure what site you're using, but marinetraffic and vesselfinder show this time (though 16:00 UTC is 08:00 PST) as the arrival in Victoria. It looks like you're using cruisemapper, which is notoriously unreliable for unscheduled ship movements. Not sure why they are going back to Ogden Point, Victoria, unless it is for bunkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adoris Posted December 18, 2023 #250 Share Posted December 18, 2023 It looks like she off and on her way. IT’s dark here but I can see cruise ship lights out in Esquimalt harbour heading south! Hope the voyage south goes well and soon everyone is off and enjoying their Christmas cruise. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
