Yeah, I had a look at 2pm and again there now, no movement and the tugs are still sitting in their dock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap Rowsdower Posted Monday at 03:27 PM #453 Share Posted Monday at 03:27 PM Looking like 4:30pm (in a few minutes time) to move to another berth now, based on the port's website, but very little activity in the harbour at the moment so take with a pinch of salt. We'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel_Around_The_World Posted Monday at 03:33 PM #454 Share Posted Monday at 03:33 PM According to cruise ship tracker VVR is still at the same dock it was for the last few months. 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel_Around_The_World Posted Monday at 03:47 PM #455 Share Posted Monday at 03:47 PM Just saw a midlifecruising video. They are all celebrating the departure from Belfast. One commenter said that he does not see anybody getting on the ship yet and MLC response was: they are only boarding but not leaving yet. 🤣 I guess it is one way for Mike to start the monthly fees up: get them on the ship and charge. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giovanni66 Posted Monday at 04:21 PM #457 Share Posted Monday at 04:21 PM They haven't got their certs yet. The class made a new remark on the 27th of September: Before leaving port and before boarding passengers the following is to be completed: 1 - All machinery & service space leakages are to be rectified and bilges cleaned. 2 - All floor plates in machinery and service spaces are to be secured. 3 - Control air quality is to be improved and control air dryers brought into operation. There is another outstanding regarding the radio station. Did they start boarding passengers ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the premier and my wife remarked that it's a remake of The Love Boat fifty years later. All they need are some famous guest stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giovanni66 Posted Monday at 07:11 PM #465 Share Posted Monday at 07:11 PM It looks like class conditions are cleared. PSSC is issued until 2024-12-25 (short term) indicating some issues that have to be cleared by then. Class cert until 2nd of October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap Rowsdower Posted Monday at 07:32 PM #466 Share Posted Monday at 07:32 PM Midlife Cruising went live from the terminal. The plan is once passengers are on board, Odyssey will sail a bit further out and anchor off the coast(around where they anchored at during trials) , then tomorrow clear up some final items and issues, before hopefully heading towards Brest or Bilbao in the next 24 hours.

Good way of beginning to charge monthly maintenance fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccalouiseagain Posted Monday at 07:57 PM #468 Share Posted Monday at 07:57 PM This isn't good at all. Mike and Kathy have lied to them at every turn- claiming they simply didn't have a berth- no mention about the conditions imposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKCruiseJeff Posted Tuesday at 09:33 AM #473 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:33 AM It’s great to see that the dream has started for those patient people. I really hope it meets their aspirations completely and that there are no further disappointments. I find myself wondering how long it’d be before I was offloaded due to me shouting at some of these people who I fear will be running around all areas, all day with their cameras doing shouty blogs. I think it will soon detract from the intimate private ambience many are looking forward to. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
