Cruise news today. Bar Harbor makes it clear they do not want big cruise ships no matter how much it hurts small business. The round the world cruise from Villa Vie residences has been postponed again because of water tank issues. Viking Cruises order more ships. Cruise line stocks for CCL, RCL, NLCH, and VIK.

Glad to hear that someone is actually ordering smaller ships. I'm not a fan of the 6,000 passenger mega liners.

We visited Bar Harbor last year on a cruise, nice little town which economy heavily relies on tourism. Let's see how this ban works for the city, I don't think it helps business community. Personally I have no desire to go to places that don't want me as a paying customer. There are plenty of places to spend money....

Bar Harbor wish to preserve 'nice town', share as best they able. They Still appreciate tourism

They for SURE are not acting Happy for Touris ..

@elisaastorino2881 Ай бұрын

I agree. I was there last year on the way back from Bermuda and while it's a nice little town, it's a tourist trap. I was on NCL Pearl, which is relatively small by today's standards but by the current rules, less than half the ship would have been able to disembark there. Unless they have a lot of rich people "summering" there like back in the 19th century, I can't see all those businesses surviving.

Cruise lines need to pull out of ports that do not want them.

@CruiseRadio Ай бұрын

Agreed!

Not surprised the legal challenge over Bar Harbor went to federal court although I don't think it's going to get any further. Last year I sailed in and out of Boston to Bermuda and docked at Bar Harbor on the way back. Nice place but a first class tourist trap in my humble opinion, so I have to wonder how all those small businesses will survive as the cruise lines pull out. Good thing I went last year - although it was a relatively small ship by today's standards (NCL Pearl), now less than half the ship wouldn't be allowed to disembark. Do they really think that the cruise lines are going to deal with the headache of who gets to leave and who has to stay onboard? They'll just bypass it completely and I can't say that I blame them.

Hi Doug, Great quick update. Let Bar Harbor have the limit , see if it works for them, their town their economy. Let them address the impact after the season. Viking is an amazing cruise line. Thanks for the update Doug..

Mornin' Doug! If I'm waiting on a second delay on a 1300 day cruise, I'm probably starting to get the heebie jeebies. 1) Is this it or is this just the next in a string of delays? 2) If it can't get out of the dock, is this thing actually going to be sea worthy for 1300 straight days when it does sail? Note to self: If I find myself with a burning desire to cruise for three years straight, look for a company that's got a few successes under it's belt.

@CruiseRadio Ай бұрын

Haha. The section in the terms and conditions say if they are more then 15 days late they can get a refund.

@carilesli.happycalmfree Ай бұрын

@@CruiseRadioI can guarantee you none of the residents will get asking for a refund. Villa Vie is taking care of them stupendously. Accommodation provided, excursions in Ireland every day, Happy Hour meet ups every day, dinners together with new friends, some people traveling in the UK, Europe. They had a tour on the ship today and while there is a lot to do, they said the ship is beautiful and can’t wait to board. The stringent inspection (which is good) wanted a water tank replacing.

@carilesli.happycalmfree Ай бұрын

Well you won’t because there isn’t one. And the owners are on for probably less than that because they’ll probably upgrade to the new ship next year.

Suppose you are right but I’m trying to imagine if someone is staying in a hotel after selling out their home or flying into port on their expected departure date. This could be a problem for them, not for me though……..I’d never be able to afford a world cruise unless I won the lottery.
