Werangels Posted June 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Looking at the schedule for 2020, there are two days when all three ships moor in the same ports; Venice and Koper. Does anyone know if there will be something special happening? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werangels Posted June 22, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thanks both. That would make sense and I had thought that would be the case. Is this something that has happened previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think two ships have done it but never three. If correct i tihnk it is outdorrs in a roped off area. You will get to see crew from all three ships there. As far as getting on the other ships to visit not sure how it can be done. Think that an invite and name has to be on a list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was a high level meeting of officers from all the ships (hotel team, Cruise Director etc) held in Venice recently to, amongst other things, discuss the meeting of the three ships and organisation of the Azamazing Evening in Koper. Hopefully there will also be a joint sail in of the three ships in Venice and sail out the following day. I’ve done a couple of “When sisters meet” and they are good fun. Video below of when we met Quest a couple of years ago and did a tandem sail out of Barcelona. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil I was not able to go back and forth a few years ago. Another guest told me she got you on her ship.with a key card and knowing so many crew it would be nice. i did know about that meeting, plenty of pictures of all the fun they had. This will be my time to check out some new ports and see some old faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather hadn’t been great all day, but literally the sun came out as the ships left Barcelona together. I had friends who’d been onboard the previous cruise who did a helicopter ride the day they got off and took an amazing shot of us docked together.

Lottie A Posted June 23, 2019 #13 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Yes, the "two sisters meet" in Barcelona was fabulous and I well remember the Battle of the Horns as we sailed out together. I think on that occasion Captain Carl and Quest were the winners! It was a lovely day with a guest from Journey bearing gifts of Champagne for us. 🥂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riocca Posted June 23, 2019 #15 Share Posted June 23, 2019 During Pursuit’ Maiden last August we met Journey in Haugesund, the two ships met outside the port and sailed in together docking bow to bow. Passengers were allowed to visit ship to ship on a time allocated basis, of course more wanted to visit Pursuit from Journey than the other way round. As Haugesund was a maiden call for both ships there was a joint plaque ceremony on the quayside. There was of course a joint sail away with deck parties and special (included) cocktails, of course the obligatory battle of the horns followed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottie A Posted June 23, 2019 #24 Share Posted June 23, 2019 It's human nature to want your ship or your workplace to excel and be "the best". It was all done in good fun and the passengers onboard took it as such. We all have our favourite Captains, ships, CD's etc ....nothing wrong with that. Family members can still be competitive with each other yet also be loving and supportive as well. I know my family is...but still I do always want to beat them at Trivial Pursuit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted June 23, 2019 #25 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Whilst I agree up to a point when it wasn't actually true it grated a lot and did a dis service to the whole brand. Nothing to do with favourites, when we first heard it we were relatively new to the brand and it put us off a bit. Here we were on a ship that was OK but had a few very rough edges and we have this chant saying this is the best in the brand. We nearly did not try Journey, how wrong we would have been.
