Hi, sorry if i'm being daft :o but what does this mean? It's good news i hope with just a week and a day to go for me!

 

Thanks!

 

Hi Laura,

Nothing to worry about.

The Costa Europa being an Italian ship was registered in Italy.

It looks like Thomson's want to re register her in Madeira.

It looks like they are getting ready for the handover to Thomson's anytime now.

Morning Jim,

If you do a search on Marinetraffic she comes up with 2 results 1 Italian and one Portugese. Was only Italian till the other day.

I've just looked over in Palma and one of the Costa ships is moored where the Island Escape usually berths, so that's probably why they haven't moved her yet.

And before you ask, no still no sign of them :(

Great site

Just had a look and the Costa ship must be offski...When we were moored in Palma with OV2 Island Escape was moored opposite the Tanker thats there just now

 

And before you ask, no still no sign of them :(

 

Whats your TA saying about it Berwyn?

HI Jim,

I've just been there and she's had a load of cruise tickets in for up to the 24th.

She rang them while I was there and they said there is no problem and they are in the system ready for despatch. So am expecting them over weekend.

Never had any holiday tickets this late before.

hi berwyn, just checking in to say, dont worry they will come in time...

its great there is some movement on dream. I remember reading on here that one of our posters is crew and is of on a trial run next week

 

Hi Isabel,

Still got 12 days to go for them to arrive :eek:

They should come over the weekend as the cruises just before ours have just arrived today at the TA's.

 

You'll miss his report, unless you can interrogate the Thomson's staff as they are disembarking as you get on :D

It doesn't say anything about thumbscrews being banned as part of hand luggage.

Palermo does not have 24/7 coverage on AIS as the shore station (PC) is not always switched on.

 

If she is moving to Palma for Monday it will take 30 hours at 18 knots so maybe a Friday or Saturday departure.

Even if the Ship was not showing up, if it was switched on it should still show the other traffic going in and out

I`m a newbie to that site so not sure of the workings dave...Just had another look and theres still not showing anything in Palerma port.Maybe I`m doing something wrong or Palermos on holiday;)

That was my thinking Berwyn

That's the most important job of all. Don't function without a continuous supply of good strong tea. :)
