ropomo Posted April 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I see that Viking Polaris has been docked in Freeport, Bahamas since April 12. I assume for repairs related to the rogue wave incident. Just curious, has the April 18, 2023 sailing from Ft. Lauderdale to Toronto been cancelled? I assume there is still adequate time to make it to Ft. Lauderdale from Freeport for tomorrow's sailing if the work is completed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayanaLorna Posted April 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Could it be due to the 24 inches of rain FL had and subsequent clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affirmative, they are making permanent repairs to the vessel after the Drake Passage incident. It is just over 80 miles, so with arrival/departure it can easily be accomplished dock to dock in under 6 hrs. The vessel also has no pax to disembark, so embarkation could start immediately upon arrival. They could sail from the shipyard at 06:00-07:00 tomorrow morning and easily make the sailing from Fort Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropomo Posted April 17, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I do notice that Port Everglades does not have the Viking Polaris on the schedule for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcand1923 Posted April 18, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Viking sent an email on January 23 advising passengers on the April 18 sailing that they were being moved to the Octanis cruise which sailed on April 13. We had until January 31 to accept or reject the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
