pcur Posted August 6, 2020 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I know how you feel. We had a fantastic resort we visited 4 times at in Barbados during the 1970's - 1980's. It is now in ruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly Steve Posted August 6, 2020 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Went through the same heartbreak with SS Norway years ago. Clock is ticking for so many other wonderful ships. Our best cruise to date was on Monarch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick93 Posted August 6, 2020 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Pretty amazing to see 4 functional cruise ships being destroyed. 2020 the year with no surprises! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted August 6, 2020 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Monarch was our first cruise. Went on her last cruise also. Been on Monarch and Sovereign so many times. Great memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted August 6, 2020 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Making room on the seas for all the new ships on order. We used to cry when we saw “our” old ships get shuttered, but no more. It’s a chance to see new products enter the market. Not that new is always better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeMissSeaView Posted August 6, 2020 #10 Share Posted August 6, 2020 It is extra sad to see that the bow has been removed from the Sovereign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They worked just fine in January and were being sold for the next two years. This is a function of a pandemic and feeling that keeping them alive Was not worth the fruit of waiting for the world to be cured of it. It’s basically waving a white flag to the virus. This is why it’s so sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb in ga Posted August 7, 2020 #23 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Carnival Fantasy was our first cruise, in 1991. We decided after that to focus on land trips, but returned to cruising in 2006. Since then we've cruised 2-3 times per year, moving up to newer and larger ships. We cruised on Monarch twice and enjoyed those cruises, but I'm glad we've had a chance to sail many of the Voyager, Freedom, Quantum and Oasis class ships. We were looking forward to our May 2020 Baltic cruise from Amsterdam, but we'll see what happens for next year. I'm a major planner, usually 2 years in advance, but I haven't booked a replacement cruise yet. Oh, well, we'll see what the new year brings. Meanwhile, we still are healthy and grateful for that.

The horrific situation in Beirut even killed this cruise ship crew. 😪 "The Orient Queen cruise ship capsized overnight in Beirut, taking on water at her berth following a deadly blast in Lebanon on Tuesday evening. The explosion also claimed the head office of the ship's operator, Abou Merhi Cruises, as well as the entire Abou Merhi Group. Two crew are reported dead while seven are listed in critical condition" https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/23337-orient-queen-sinks-in-beirut-two-crew-reported-dead.html Edited August 7, 2020 by SeaHunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
