What ship would have it been in August 2001 out of LA

[Sue L]

My daughter was taken on a four day cruise the first week in August in 2001 for a sweet sixteen party out of LA. Now that we are currently making RCCL our cruiseline of choice I called C & A to get her signed up and they have to have the ship's name to look for her name and my daughter doesn't remember. The C & A person was not helpful at all.

 

I already called the parents who took them and the other girls that we knew from the trip , 5 of them and no one remembers. I am hoping with all the long time cruisers on this board someone can remember the ship that would have been there at that time. The only thing we know for certain is that is was RCCL

 

Thanks in advance

could be wrong, but i think it was :confused:

[Ericknow32]

Viking Serenade.

Viking Serenade.

 

 

That is not an RCCL, is it?

[Alexis]

Ericknow32 is correct. Yes, she was a RCCL ship. I also sailed her on July 13, 2001.

She did 3 and 4 night cruises out of San Pedro.

 

She was turned over to another cruise line in 2002. ;)

Eric and Alexis,

 

Thanks for the info, the name threw me because I thought all the ships were "something of the seas"

 

 

 

Maybe, now someone can clear this up since she had a cruise credit from that cruise do we also get her credit. Very confused on how all this works.

Sailed the Viking Serenade out of Los Angeles in 1992 & 1995. Just took a look at my picture album and she was indeed an RCI ship.

[Druke I]

Viking Serenade is currenly Island Escape, in Europe.

 

Before going to RCCL, she was Stardancer of Admiral Cruise Lines, which was the successor to Sundance Cruises, which incidentally was started by Stan McDonald, the fellow who had started Princess Cruises several years before.

Just called C & A back with the Viking Seranade info and they found her right away.

 

 

Thank you all so much for the info. She is now a Crown and Anchor.

Ah! Since the Viking Serenade was my honeymoon ship, she will always be one of our favorites. Not as fancy as the ships that are sailing around now (balcony? what balcony?), but she sure was fun. I am just sad it took us another 12 years to get on another cruise.

 

Glad that the credit has been found! We had to do the same thing when we booked Legend in 2004 and I didn't know what our C & A numbers were. I just gave them the ship name & dates and all was good.

thank you so much for that link, now you want hear a real coincidence. My husband and I met while working at Pan Am in 1981. While there they offered airline employees a 3 day cruise for 99$, it was a shake down cruise from Ny to Freeport in the Bahamas. It was on the Scandanavia, which after a couple of transfers became the Viking Serenade.

 

 

This all means, the my husband (not even yet boyfriend) and my first cruise was on the same ship that my daughter took her first cruise on 20 years later.

 

We just figured all this out when we saw the link. How weird is that?

I think that this coincidence is just wonderful----you will have a great story to tell on every cruise you go on!

What an interesting read about her history. She has grown old gracefully and there is nothing wrong with age. :)

Scandinavia was built in 1982, so it must have been a little later than 1981. She was purchased by Sundance Cruises in 1985 and the name changed to Stardancer.......she was a repalcement for Sundancer which was holed and sank just north of Campbell River, British Columbia in 1984.

Sorry for the confusion hubby and I met in 1981 , the cruise was May 1983, I went and dug out the pictures.

The smaller ship with Viking as the first part of the name was Rccl [now RCL]. The new big one I don't know.

[boaterette]

My first cruise was for my honeymoon and was also on the Viking Serenade. I got so sea sick. But after being able to keep down the medicine I bagain a love affair with cruising. I have been on 16 cruises so far. I just take the meds now.;)

You will not get her credit. All members of the same household are linked together and they all receive the status of the person with the highest individual amount. So they look at each person separately for status and then apply it to everyone.

 

I learned this the hard way recently. My credits online were correct. Then I sailed without my husband recently and my cruise was posted, but my credits did not increase. I couldn't figure it out. I called and they said I had 16 credits because my husband had 16 credits, but I only had 14. Funny since we have only cruised together. So I had to go back and figure out which ones I was missing. Not too hard. They were very pleasant about getting it straightened out.
