Rare oddjob16 Posted June 11, 2020 #51 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Had confirmation that Quest and Journey is heading for Glasgow. ETA for Journey in approx two weeks. Looks like a cold lay up. Quest and Pursuit have itineraries in northern Europe for september, but Journey is supposed to stay in the Med all summer. She is misplaced in Glasgow.

Cold means switching everything off They'll keep them ticking over and making sure the air con and ventilation systems are cleaned out. Read Legionella and humidity. Warm lay up most like.

Phil Maybe you are right. However Pullmantur puts all ships in cold until at least november 15. So it is a possible outcome. When all ships are docked Azamara will only keep one captain overseeing the lay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodaxe Posted June 12, 2020 #54 Share Posted June 12, 2020 They will obviously do everything they can to keep costs to the minimum during the lay up however long that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted June 12, 2020 #55 Share Posted June 12, 2020 It’s a tricky balance because they will want to be ready to go as soon as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything is possible within Royal at present, but believe Pullmantur is another proposition. Part of a Spanish market? I was pointing out that a cold layup for Azamara certainly at the moment would not be in the plan AFAIK because of the restart time involved if they did that vs a warm lay up. Time will tell. Things are moving on. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audobon_tx Posted June 12, 2020 #60 Share Posted June 12, 2020 MT now says Quest next call will be Southampton. Is it possible Quest could lay up there pending it's scheduled Southampton to Barcelona sailing in September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithikan Posted June 12, 2020 #65 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I love this forum. You can peel the passengers off of the ships but you cannot stop them sniffing the wind, checking the tides, or planning their next days at sea. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/54932/sea-fever-56d235e0d871e 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
