Since the crew is just working on a contract basis maybe the crew does both. Keep working on the Empress until Royal calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeMissSeaView Posted January 3, 2021 #1178 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Empress is still sailing toward the Indian Ocean. She is now being followed by the former Carnival Fascination. Wonder if they are headed to the same port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will both likely need to resupply somewhere along the way (looks like Muscat for Empress - CMV Magellan has been there for a while), but other than an eventual potential demise on the beach in Alang, they are unlikely to go to the same port.

A few days ago I read from another page that the handover of Empress to the new owner (Cordelia Cruises) will take place in Muscat. Now AIS shows that this is the next port for Empress is Muscat, and for Fascination is Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeMissSeaView Posted January 10, 2021 #1183 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Empress has started the left turn from the Arabian Sea to the Gulf of Edam, and should be docked at Muscat in less then 24 hours. This may be the last day with a Royal crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeMissSeaView Posted January 12, 2021 #1184 Share Posted January 12, 2021 After spending a day at anchor, Empress is now docked at Muscat. When Empress sails again she should be crewed by the new owner and headed to her new home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I can't cruise again before the FCC expires I'm just out of luck even though they are the ones who cancelled my cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal will refund you the money for the cruise that they cancelled. The FCC was from a cruise that you cancelled and will not be refunded. The expiry date would be 12 months from the date they cancelled or Sept 30, 2022 whichever is later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted April 10, 2021 #1194 Share Posted April 10, 2021 India's Cordelia Cruises tapped Rescompany to provide several software solutions. They include the Resco property management system/point of sale technology suite and the shoreside central system for fleet and point of sale management. Cordelia Cruises' parent company, Waterways Leisure Tourism Pvt Ltd, acquired the short-lived Jalesh Cruises brand after it went bust last year, and hired former Jalesh executives including Jurgen Bailom, who's now president and CEO of Cordelia. Former Empress of the Seas The start-up will field the former Empress of the Seas, built in 1990 as Nordic Empress. The ship exited the Royal Caribbean International fleet in December. Cordelia is advertising two-, three-, four-, five-, six- and seven-night cruises to destinations in India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, scheduled to start in May.
