Rare twangster Posted September 10, 2020 #601 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) This article from Sept. 3 has pictures of Empress and Majesty at the dock in Souda from the other day when MJ first arrived and claims the stop in Heraklion was for CV-19 testing: http://www.haniotika-nea.gr/dyo-kroyazieroploia-sto-limani-tis-soydas-fot/ Interesting note in this article: http://www.haniotika-nea.gr/sto-limani-tis-soydas-dyo-kroyazieroploia/ "The two cruise ships, according to information from the Port Fund, arrived in Souda, in order to transfer equipment from the older ship which will be withdrawn to the newest and are expected to arrive as soon as the process is completed."

WeMissSeaView Posted September 10, 2020 #603 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Majesty has sailed, so she was not there very long. Empress is still docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or worked with a spouse who worked in the German health care industry. In other words, you are talking out the side of your mouth with no real knowledge of what you say and just prefer to bully others. Now that the facts are clear you can carry on. No need for that tone. I'm not about to give you a lesson on here how it works. If Uk the system was that bad, why have we got dingy's overloaded with people trying to get in. Maybe, like you, they are misinformed with the system and don't realise it's in a whackadoodle state. On the other hand, you might want to move here and try it. Only then you can criticize.

WeMissSeaView Posted September 10, 2020 #608 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I am hoping Empress is making fresh water and then joins Majesty at anchor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy0 Posted September 10, 2020 #609 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) This was posted on the carnival forum. https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7p5H_BLa6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Unclear if source is reliable, but is reportedly a diagram of ships to be scrapped in Aliaga. Neither Empress or Majesty are on the diagram, which may be a good sign... Or they may be in Lot III....or going to a different scrap yard.

Rare twangster Posted September 10, 2020 #610 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Empress still has Souda as her AIS destination. She has made a right turn resembling her other weekly runs in open water. Due back in Souda at 5am if AIS is to be believed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lots of progress on Sovereign and Monarch I guess Edited September 10, 2020 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the ship name is changed for the final voyage by removing letters. I think it is an old tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LXA350 Posted September 12, 2020 #623 Share Posted September 12, 2020 We are still waiting for the anouncement when Empress and Majesty will head to the scrap yard, looks like they need to wait until the Carnival and Pullman Ships were scraped.

According to that Instagram post, there are 4 more ahead of them. I still can't get over the fact that Fantasy had a dry dock in 2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste (money spent on the dry dock). Clearly the plan was to keep her. Interesting how quickly they gave up on her. Maybe she had underlying health conditions... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
