My question was what happens with my lift and Shift, will Royal work with me on another cruise? Rest assured they will try their best to keep your deposit, so yes, they will work with you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Royal Caribbean spokesperson responded simply, "Empress is not headed to the scrap yard, she’s still a part of the Royal Caribbean fleet." This still doens't mean anything, unless RCL still tries to get some $ to sell the ship there is absolutley no need for it in their fleet anymore. Under the current environment it makes absolutely no sense economically to keep the ship in the fleet for passenger cruises. Maybe they will use Empress and Majesty to transport cruiseship staff from Asia to cruisehips in Europe / North America and simultaniously will use the vessels as quarantine before staff can board the ships on which they will work. Once this task will not be needed anymore, both ships will be scraped and or sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another social media rumor is that Empress is sailing to Malta to retrieve some of the valuables recently offloaded from the other ships. Putting her to some temporary use or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted August 2, 2020 #80 Share Posted August 2, 2020 In the case of Sovereign and Monarch valuables weren't offloaded in Malta. Both ships went to anchorage in Malta but didn't port there. Valuables were offloaded in Naples. Just saying'... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not gonna happen. No need to spend money on a ships that's not going to be used.. If you ask me, Empress will be going to Aliağa before this month is over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When MSC Grandiosa starts in two weeks, she plans to sail one week itineraries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
