Any news on the SUN?

[Level six]

So have anymore cruises been cancelled on the Sun? Or is the next cruise a go? Thanks

The website is still showing the 14th July departure as go.

I saw it go by a few days ago, on its way to Victoria according to MarineTraffic. I presumed it was for repairs. It caught my eye because cruise ships are almost never heading out of Puget Sound in the late morning. Now it shows the Sun berthed in downtown Seattle.

According to VesselFinder, she was in Seattle for five days from 1 to 6 July. She departed Seattle at 1615Z on 6 July and took two days to reach Victoria. She then only spent 4½ hours in Victoria before departing to return to Seattle.

 

So a guess might be that Seattle --> Victoria was for sea trials?

 

The 14 July sailing is still on sale, which seems reassuring.

And tomorrow's sailing is still on sale now, so I presume that NCL reckons that the Band-Aid will stick.

She's sitting at Pier 66 this morning, looks like she's back on schedule.

The Sun is now under way, heading for Icy Strait Point. 

 

Glad to see her back in operation! Well be onboard for 41 days in October and November, Seattle to Lisbon.
