What is the maximum speed you have been on any RCCL ship?

[Static events]

I am just curious to see what is the maximum speed you have been on any RCCL ship?

 

Is it 23 knots...? 24 knots.

 

:D

It was the top speed of 25 knots when Brilliance of the Seas was sailing Gulf of Aden January 22, 2011.

Nice video

We sailed Serenade's southern Caribbean route out of San Juan back when they were doing refueling stops every third week in St. Croix after the ship would leave St. Thomas. As I remember it the ship was moving at about 23-24kts. to get over to St. Croix, refuel, and then keep to its itinerary times.

26 knots on the Brilliance heading to the Azores with a medical emergency. Got there a day early.

If you would include the Celebrity Constellation as an "RCCL" ship, I was on her when she detoured to rescue some sailors from a small boat that ran out of fuel...after sending the rescue boat to bring them a supply of fuel to get them to the nearest port in the Bahama's, we continued on our way at around 26 knots and reached our next port of call on schedule.

Those gas turbines had power to spare...;)

26 knots is basically 30mph which is an impressive speed.

It is that! The only problem, and the reason cruise itineraries don't use that speed capability, except in emergencies, is the tremendous fuel consumption at that speed....
