Serenade moving

[Javert1969]

Hi - I see Serenade was on the move this morning.  Any idea where it's going an why?  Seems to be heading west from Bridgetown.

[kaseyoz]

She was supposed to head down here to Sydney at some stage. We are booked for March 2021. We will see.

Like Freedom, probably just another week adrift till she gets orders to actually go somewhere.

Serenade is now going north at 10.4 knot so ship might just be sailing near Barbados for an operation run.

We've been doing the same with our three land vehicles for the past  month taking each out for a short run at least once a week.😉

Yes, that's Freedom drifting  just east of Serenade on the Marine Traffic map above.

Both show BGI (Bridgetown, Barbados) as their destination.

Nowhere.  Like every other ship.

Nice to see she is still around. we were due to board her this Friday for a 25 night b2b cruise through the Panama Canal, will be interesting to see if she still goes through as the next group of cruises are on the West coast.

We were suppose to be there with you.  I doubt they will bring it to the west coast yet.  They can not start Alaska until at least July.  They would have to find a place to hang out until then.  They are probably better off hanging  out near the east coast.

I noticed when Harmony goes out...for some reason she likes to hang out off the coast of Flagler county.  Guess she likes her own "space".  😉

Calmer seas on the east coast.  😉

Me too...hope to "sea" you on board as well.  🙂 Hope we get lucky!  

 

Right now I am watching Radiance drift around outside SE Asia....hoping against hope that she will slowly head to Vancouver around mid June.  😮

Shes out looking for the SpaceX fairings this afternoon.

 

I wonder if she can catch a booster on the helipad

That would depend on what route it takes. 

It is due to be in Alaska in July but I do not have a lot of confidence in that.

It's coming from Australia via Hawaii. Correct.

 

I'm guessing she's not coming

Panama Canal transit fees for a cruise ship are a few hundred thousand dollars, so zero chance (in my opinion) that RC will spend that money to bring her through to drift around for fun

Gotcha, bummer. I'd seriously doubt she sails through PC empty in anticipation of a future Alaska season
