Cruisin Suzin Posted September 13, 2008 #26 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I remember when these were originally posted. But, for some reason, I am thinking that I remember the ships were empty?? I could be (and quite possibly am) wrong, but for some reason I am thinking they were moving the ships (Ecstasy and Sensation out of the way)...that is why they were together and the pictures were taken from the Sensation. Does anyone else remember this? Yes I remember reading that as well it was just essential crew, on board.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan40 Posted September 13, 2008 #27 Share Posted September 13, 2008 We did the Paradise repo cruise to LA from Miami. Hurricane Frances delayed the start by a day and all air into or out of Miami was snarled. So the ship left half full with only Floridans and those who had flown in early. Once we got into the Pacific we had to change course to avoid Hurricane Javier. [had avoided Ivan in the Gulf too.] Barb and I boarded the elevator right after hearing an announcement. A lady stepped aboard and Barb asked her which deck. She said deck 3. I said, 'Did you hear they are boarding up the windows on your deck?" [they had announced they were going in to the cabins to close the steel hatches over the portholes] The lady, a Floridan, almost fainted. Barb wanted to punch me. Women, they just don't understand guy humor. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmdc5696 Posted September 15, 2008 #30 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I don't think dramamine would even manage that. Hats off to the crews that managed these ships, and the engineers that designed them to handle hurricanes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthGrady Posted September 16, 2008 #33 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Those are awesme pix. In one, it looks like a wave is covering most of the forward OV windows on Riviera Deck. That would be an awesome thing to look out of your window and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
