Pb86 Posted April 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Evening all, I would like to follow the progress of RCI Splendor of the Seas being changed over to TUI Discovery. Is anyone able to advise where I may be able to follow the progress please? Thanks in advance. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsbeentoolong Posted April 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Is it there now then? I know the last cruise for RCI was 04/04 but didn't know how long the cruise was. Exciting, we're on her in September:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfieldtourist Posted April 17, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I think there may possibly be one update as work progresses from Thomson itself but other than that - it depends on if you know anyone on the ship who will let you know.

davecttr Posted April 20, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Splendour is now berthed in Venice so I imagine they have disembarked all the passengers by now. I wonder when she will sail for Cadiz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecttr Posted April 24, 2016 #21 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Currently in the 'dead zone' east of Gibraltar and no AIS signal for over 24 hours. To arrive in Cadiz on time she should be appearing on the marine traffic site soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerlinsMum Posted April 24, 2016 #23 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I wonder how many of three crew will be taken on by Thomson. Presume Captain will g to another RC ship, but what of the minions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cariad1000 Posted April 25, 2016 #25 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I spoke to a few of the crew on our 29th March cruise and only one of them was staying on for the transition and he was in charge of IT. Our cabin steward was going to Adventure along with quite a few others. The concierge was going to Grandeur and dining room staff were being scattered far and wide amongst the RCI fleet.
