Tomorrow is a 3 ship turn-around day in Vancouver. As cruisingrob21 predicted, Radiance just vacated the cruise terminal. She was heading back upriver, perhaps to the same industrial dock we were at on Saturday. Bow thrusters and the one good azipod all appeared to be working as normal. The only time I saw the tug lines taught was as they were swinging the stern around to point upstream. Fingers continue to be crossed for a successful fix this week. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biff09 Posted April 30 #158 Share Posted April 30 @STEVE-O would you mind sharing the text of the email? I just noticed that Radiance is still moored in Vancouver, it's got to get steaming soon if it's going to make it to Seward on Friday. Seems it will take a solid 2.5 days at 25 knots. Hoping for the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIC33 Posted May 2 #167 Share Posted May 2 Looks like they are taking Radiance out for a test drive to see if the duct tape and zip ties worked. Ship pulled out past our hotel in Vancouver about an hour ago. Fingers crossed the sea trial is successful. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Milhouse Posted May 2 #168 Share Posted May 2 Was out for a walk today to New Brighton Park this afternoon around 3pm (before the above test run pics) and took a pic of Radiance docked across Burrard Inlet at Lynn Term. Was kind of cool to see a cruise ship docked on this part of the inlet. (There was also another cruise ship there about a month ago that they were prepping to use as a floating hotel for workers for an LNG project in Squamish, north of Vancouver.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted May 2 #169 Share Posted May 2 Thanks to all for all the updates and pics... I'm glad it is working out for all concerned... I always enjoying seeing pictures of my old home town. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oceansaway17 Posted May 2 #170 Share Posted May 2 Many who take Radiance to Seward or the other way back also do land tour packages so hoping the first two cruises get sorted out and folks get to see Denali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIC33 Posted May 3 #172 Share Posted May 3 Woohoo! Looks like the duct tape and zip ties held. Radiance is backing in to the east berth at Canada Place cruise terminal. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandis Posted May 3 #173 Share Posted May 3 This morning on my way to work I thought I check on her on the shiptracker to see if she's already in Vancouver (didn't know exactly when she would start her Alaska season) and noticed the little loop she did earlier today, which looks like a test run. That's what then brought me here 🙂 Boarding her on June 21 in Seward. Hopefully, she is fine now for the remainder of the season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
