Rare John&LaLa Posted August 19, 2017 #27 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Unfortunately, yes. Hoping PC will get a Voyager class ship for the 3/4 day runs, or at least a Vision class ship. The sooner to be kid friendly Mariner could be ideal for this market Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 19, 2017 #28 Share Posted August 19, 2017 The sooner to be kid friendly Mariner could be ideal for this market I thought so to, but apparently Miami has priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikkib Posted August 19, 2017 #29 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Just got off Enchantment yesterday. Crew are amazing! Ship is so worn and dirty. Was told by our waiter that after her dry dock she will be sold. He was sad that RC will not be putting out any new smaller ships. We sailed Harmony in Feb and it's truly amazing but doesn't compare to smaller ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about the buying, selling, and depreciation of cruise ships, but absorbing the overhead of a drydock seems awfully pointless if the ship is intended to be sold immediately after.

As drydockings are statutory, if the seller was to "defer" a drydocking because of a plan to sell, no buyer would buy the ship without it having completed the statutory inspections at the required times.

chengkp75 Posted August 19, 2017 #32 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Just as a note regarding the OP's observations about the hawse pipe being rusty and needing paint, most of that rust is from the anchor and chain, that bleed down onto the paint, not a rusty hull.

That is correct. Just makes for a poor photograph IMHO. I've often seen spot painting on the hull when docked. And it always seems they pick the day I don't get off the ship at a port to chip and paint the railings near the pool. The paint has a very strong odor.

We sailed Harmony in Feb and it's truly amazing but doesn't compare to smaller ships. Where was the wear and tear noticeable? In your room or public areas? "Hiding" the wear and tear is usually something RCI is pretty good at. I booked right before dry dock; something I normally wouldn't do on any ship, but timing and price worked.

Rare island lady Posted August 20, 2017 #36 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Isn't she going to Galveston Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Yes, unfortunately true. I think June 23rd is her first sail from there. Just wishful thinking she could have come back here. Soo...instead...how about another Vision class, or Radiance class (my favorite :D) or a Voyager as a third option would be sooo nice! :hearteyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so what does your "waiter in the know" think about the list of bookings available all through the middle of next year and into 2019 from new home port Galveston for Enchantment?? :o Edited August 20, 2017 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. The result of anchoring twice a week at Coco Cay. And yes, she does anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted August 20, 2017 #42 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Yup, that old Enchantment is indeed a rust bucket. So bad, she should be kicked out of Miami and comeback home to PC where she belongs. :D Maybe someday RC will listen to you. :D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted August 20, 2017 #43 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Maybe someday RC will listen to you. :D;) Galveston won the prize. Sigh...so now will have to dream of getting an alternative mid size ship other than Enchantment coming back to us. We just keep hoping here....maybe...we will get lucky someday! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
