  1. That has been that way for a while and not related to the new menu. It will correct itself once on board.
  2. " One year after the collapse of Genting Cruise Lines, most of its former fleet has now met its destiny. While most of the vessels were sold for further service, other ships ended up being scrapped and one is still waiting for a decision on its future. Global Dream Previous Brand: Dream Cruises Year Built: Unfinished Capacity: 5,000 guests Location: Wismar, Germany Fate: Sold to Disney Cruise Line After several months of undefinition, the unfinished Global Dream was sold to Disney Cruise Line last November. The U.S.-based cruise line plans to work with the Meyer Werft shipyard to complete the ship ahead of a 2025 debut. With a new name and innovative Disney experiences, the 205,000-ton ship is expected to sail outside the United States. Crystal Endeavor Previous Brand: Crystal Cruises Year Built: 2021 Capacity: 200 guests Location: Antarctica Fate: Sold to Silversea Cruises The Crystal Endeavor was sold to Silversea Cruises in July 2022. The luxury brand of the Royal Caribbean Group paid $275 million for the expedition vessel, which originally entered service in 2021. Renamed Silver Endeavour, the 200-guest ship is currently sailing for its new operators in Antarctica. World Dream Previous Brand: Dream Cruises Year Built: 2017 Capacity: 3,400 guests Location: Singapore Anchorage Fate: TBD After nearly a year laid up in Southeast Asia, the World Dream was auctioned by order of the Singapore Sheriff in late 2022. A result for the process, however, is still to be announced by the auctioneers, who accepted sealed bids for the vessel until December 21. Genting Dream Previous Brand: Dream Cruises Year Built: 2016 Capacity: 3,400 guests Location: Southeast Asia Fate: Chartered to Resorts World Cruises After just a few months laid up in Asia, the Genting Dream was chartered to Resorts World Cruises in May 2022. Keeping its original name, the vessel is now in service for its new operators – who are tied to the former owners of Dream Cruises – in Southeast Asia. Explorer Dream Previous Brand: Dream Cruises Year Built: 1999 Capacity: 2,000 guests Location: Port Klang, Malaysia Fate: Awaiting decision/buyer Formerly operated by Dream Cruises, the Explorer Dream is set to restart service for Resorts World Cruises in Hong Kong in March. The new brand will charter the ship. Crystal Serenity Previous Brand: Crystal Cruises Year Built: 2003 Capacity: 980 guests Location: Trieste, Italy Fate: Sold to A&K Travel Group The Crystal Serenity was acquired by the A&K Group after an auction in June 2022. The new owners, who also bought the Crystal Cruises brand and other assets, plan to relaunch the luxury company in 2023. Currently in a shipyard in Italy, the 2003-built vessel is set to resume service this year, offering a series of worldwide itineraries. Crystal Symphony Previous Brand: Crystal Cruises Year Built: 1995 Capacity: 848 guests Location: Trieste, Italy Fate: Sold to A&K Travel Group Following a judicial auction, the Crystal Symphony was sold to the A&K Travel Group in June 2022. The travel conglomerate also acquired the Crystal Cruises and the Crystal Serenity and plans to relaunch the traditional luxury brand in 2023. SuperStar Aquarius Previous Brand: Star Cruises Year Built: 1993 Capacity: 1,529 guests Location: Alang, India Fate: Scrapped After spending several months laid up in Sri Lanka, the ex-SuperStar Aquarius was beached for scrapping in November 2022. Previously operated by Star Cruises, the 1993-built cruise ship is now being dismantled at the Alang Shipbreaking Yard. SuperStar Gemini Previous Brand: Star Cruises Year Built: 1992 Capacity: 1,472 guests Location: Alang, India Fate: Scrapped Like its sister ship, the former SuperStar Gemini ended up being beached for scrapping in November 2022. The former Star Cruises ship is now being recycled, with its building materials and fixtures being sold off or repurposed. Star Pisces Previous Brand: Star Cruises Year Built: 1991 Capacity: 1,384 guests Location: Alang, India Fate: Scrapped The Star Pisces was beached for scrapping in mid-2022. One of Star Cruises original vessels, the former cruise ferry ended its cruising career at the Alang Ship Breaking Yard in India. The Taipan Previous Brand: Star Cruises Year Built: 1989 Capacity: 64 guests Location: Singapore Fate: Sold to OM Ships The Taipan was sold to OM Ships, a German religious organization, in May 2022. The new owners plan to transform the 1989-built vessel into a missionary ship and floating bookshop. Previously serving as Genting’s smallest cruise ship, the 32-cabin ship was used for charters and upscale cruises in Southeast Asia. SuperStar Libra Previous Brand: Star Cruises/MV Werften Year Built: 1988 Capacity: 1,494 guests Location: Aliaga, Turkey Fate: Beached for scrapping The SuperStar Libra is being dismantled in Turkey. After being sold to local scrappers, the vessel arrived at the Aliaga Ship Breaking Yard in May 2022. Previously operated by Star Cruises, the 1988-built cruise ship was serving as a floating hotel at the MV Werften – a Genting-owned shipyard in Germany – since 2018." One Year Later, Here’s What Happened to Genting Cruise Lines’ Ships - Cruise Industry News | Cruise News
  3. That probably varies by ship and number of eligible D+ and pins on that sailing.
  4. It could be that you will enjoy the current/old menu as well.
  5. That will likely be decided on the ship at that time and it could go either way depending on the specific circumstances.
  6. If you noticed my quote I modified the poster’s comment to vegan. You can see the separate vegan menu in the current/old version of the menu in the app on ships which still have that or you can see the vegan choice in the new/future menu (like Symphony).
  7. You should be able to get all pics which include the guests in the cabin which purchased the package.
  8. On the next cruise, if you want save and perhaps share the Compass later, use the numerous QR code links for it around the ship. They format and look better and it’s perhaps easier than taking pics of the paper version.
  9. You could probably accomplish the same thing by booking early traditional and show up 30-45 minutes late.
  10. The OP has an RCI reference sailing from just 11 months ago - other than ship specific changes, not much has changed in those 11 months.
  11. You can look at earlier sailings, like the next one like yours to see if the menu has changed (and/or Compass info).
  12. The app should list that for the current sailing.
  13. Keep checking the app - both the Compass info and the menu will be get more accurate/complete as you get closer to sailing.
  14. Because the drinking age for sailings out of Europe is 18, not 21 like out of the US.
  15. Walk around and see what appeals to you- yes, you can find lots of loungers under umbrellas free.
  16. The app should show that for both sailings.
  17. Whatever answer you get today could be different tomorrow.
