Sea Viewer Posted May 27, 2022 #226 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Many years ago(1995) I was on the Celebration when it caught fire in the engine control room. 2 days at sea with no power until Ecstasy came to rescue us. We had to transfer via lifeboat and were assigned same cabin number on both ships. No effort was made to transfer to like cabins. Luggage was delivered to cabins. We couldn't bring any bags onto lifeboat with us. This should be a much easier process to organize as passengers can walk from one ship to another and appear to still have power to hotel operations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have two crews for one ship i was thinking of clerical & logistic staff, to hand over the keys, finalize any payments (if applicable), answer any of the hundreds of questions from passengers.

Lee Cruiser Posted May 27, 2022 #230 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I know some of these folks probably needed to get back home Saturday, but spending an extra couple of days on the beach in Grand Turk would be nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you're going to be in an emergency on a cruise ship, having an extra day in Grand Turk and an extra day at sea would be the ultimate prize. I feel for people who have flights, family, pets, jobs, other appointments. Hopefully, they're not too upset. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not semi retired but my job is more flexible. I do realize it isn’t ideal for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BasicSailor Posted May 27, 2022 #238 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) 40 minutes ago, Rulers Mom said: I imagine most folks on Freedom will want to roll their own luggage to the Conquest. I get my own luggage from my home, to the airport, to the cruise port. But it is another logistical consideration. Problem being not everyone can carry all their luggage over. Most older folks depend on porters for boarding and debarkation. And some simply over pack. Edited May 27, 2022 by BasicSailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad1972 Posted May 27, 2022 #242 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Here’s a question. Usually when a ship is in port the fun shops have to be closed and casino is closed unless the port allows casino and gambling. I know grand Turk is duty free port but just wondered if the casino and fun shop would be allowed to open in grand Turk? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lane Hog Posted May 27, 2022 #248 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The luggage transfer shouldn't be too bad... If they can find forklifts, it's simple. If they can't, the carts used that fit in the elevators to bring bags up to each deck might fit down a gangway. Worst case, they'll need to find a double-wide ramp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Hog Posted May 27, 2022 #249 Share Posted May 27, 2022 There's nothing structural about the wings -- it's a fiberglass shroud with some fireproofing material around the metal exhaust pipes. The exhaust pipes provide all the horizontal support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted May 27, 2022 #250 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Anyone know how many Passengers already left? Read something earlier today they jumped on Ship next to them filling empty Cabins 4 hours ago, mowogo said: Conquest is fully crewed. So you have two crews for one ship Dont think all Crew will leave or how many. Though this will help out with any Ships short of Workers as some will fan out to dozen other Ship's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
