Windstar crashes Pride

[Emperor Norton]

It would seem either Windstar doesn't do their due dilligance when operating a vessel or the Pride is protesting being with Windstar. Either way, I don't recall ever hearing about a Seabourn vessel being grounded.

I noticed we passed her last evening as we left the canal. Was not close enough for visual - just saw her on marine traffic web site. What a shame. Isn't she the same ship that dumped raw sewage in SXM a couple of weeks ago?

But I saw it!

 

 

In Speed 2. :D

Well one problem with that -- it was the Legend, not the Pride in that movie.

That was another of the ships that Windstar purchased from Seabourn, the Breeze (formerly the Spirit). I'm wondering if they forgot to remove the names from Neptunes rolls and then failed to properly re-name them.:eek:

Aloha,

What do I know? I have sailed both Seabourn and Crystal, and my career has been that of a Captain. I believe it inexcusable to hit the ground on any vessel which you are paid to pass safely.

 

It's Inexcusable, you have every chart available to humankind and contact with many nearby vessels.

 

Yea. I hold myself to same degree of responsibility.

Will

 

May I not ground on this weekends sail...

At least the compensation offered was appropriate - when we ran aground on a star clippers vessel off cuba the management acted shamefully and were very miserly with what they offered the disrupted passengers.
