IE sold

[Sailaway487]

If it's going to Korea...maybe a gambling ship??

 

 

Ps . staff have already been told ;)

 

Perhaps if they don't admit to anything tomorrow, its time to bombard their Twitter, Facebook and Blog until somebody gives us an official concrete answer! :D

Escape into Destiny won't go

 

Escape has 66 cabins of premier or higher grade, 25 with balconies.

 

Destiny has 33 deluxe or higher, 9 with balconies.

 

Lots of unhappy campers methinks :eek:

[Rebel Rouser]

[carolynne15]

[Rebel Rouser]

Sure will C15, the good ship has moved to the other side of the Port @ Limassol :D

[Sailaway487]

Everything seems to have gone quiet regarding the sale... :confused:

[Rebel Rouser]

Be paitent S487, all in good time ;)

[Rebel Rouser]

Just to add to the confusion? Owner??????

 

[Grez]

Part exchange?

[Sailaway487]

The owner was noticed the other day by whistlerbc. It is very strange! :confused:

 

I think that it is just a mistake, and they've presumed it is the same as others in the Thomson fleet. Would be odd for Louis to take on another ship when they've got so many for sale. And Greece is certainly not Korea! :D

[CRUISIN LINDA]

I take it to mean that they think Louis own it and Thomson charter it :confused:

 

You can't believe all you read on Wiki :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Just a few bits I have gleaned ..don't ask lol.

 

· entao gente... falei com alguns tripulantes e o nosso Escape foi vendido pra uma Companhia Koreana... acabou-se, deixando muitas lembranças e amizades... :(

then we ... talked with some crew and our Escape was sold to a company Koreana ... turned up, leaving many memories and friendships ...:

Ah que pena!! Mas o que temos de lembranças e amizades .... só quem teve o prazer de ser tripulante dele sabe o compreender o carinho que temos ao Island Escape!!!!

Oh what a shame! But we have memories and friendships .... only those who had the pleasure of being his crew know that we understand the affection the Island Escape!!</SPAN>

esse barquinho deixara muitas saudades !!!!!

this boat had left many memories!!!</SPAN>

Foram 5 anos de muitas alegrias, tristezas, aventuras, conquistas, que deixarão com certeza muitas saudades. Mta gente me pergunta como aguentei tanto tempo la dentro, coisas que só o sucatao pode explicar e proporcionar. Bons e velhos tempos...

Were 5 years many joys, sorrows, adventures, achievements, that certainly leave many memories. Mta people ask me how to put up with so much time into it, the only things that can explain and provide sucatao. Good old days ...</SPAN>

To add more confusion :D

 

Followed a link on Thomson forum (as you do) Thomson Celebration and saw the name on one of the workers "t" shirts (timeline) followed that and came up that the Celebration as well as the Island Escape they have won the contract to refurbish both ships? I do have a screen capture but Photo bucket is down at the moment, so can't upload :confused:

Do you mean Trimline?

[Sailaway487]

Just read that now too, on the scrolling bar at the top, that seems to appear only when it wants! :rolleyes:

 

'Time to celebrate as Trimline beats off stiff competition to upgrade passenger spaces on board Thomson Celebration and Island Escape'

[Rebel Rouser]

Well done for spotting my mistake :D I indeed mean trimline..had granddaughter with me @ the time :eek:

[Sailaway487]

Just looked at my blog stats, and there's been a lot of Google searches being directed to the post I did about IE. Lots on the lines of 'has IE been sold' etc. Obviously a lot of people are interested. Checked on Facebook before at the Island Escape group to see if they knew anymore, and someone was having argument with an ex-crew member of IE who said the ship was a tired. :rolleyes:

[Rebel Rouser]

Saw that re the Island escape Group..petty arguments re the ship was tired.

Yes, I noticed that before! Better re-read my posts just incase. ;)

Found this article:

I wonder whether it is this that the website was talking about. Would have been around the same time that the Platinum refurbishment contracts were probably made.

[Rebel Rouser]

Yeah your right re the Trimline, can remember it back from last year, still a coincidence though :)

With the Q&A with Mr Ellacott starting tomorrow, hopefully he'll answer the question regarding IE being sold. Maybe we'll get a proper answer tomorrow. :confused:
