R yeo Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Two more cruise liners make technical calls, including largest cruise ship ever to dock in Gibraltar The cruise liners “Jewel of the Seas and Allure of the Seas” have carried out technical calls at Gibraltar on Thursday. The Allure of the Seas is the largest cruise ship ever to dock at Gibraltar. It is one of four Oasis-class vessels operated by Royal Caribbean, which include the world's biggest cruise ship, the Harmony of the Seas. Another Royal Caribbean ship, the Ovation of the Seas, previously held the title for largest cruise liner to visit Gibraltar, back in 2016. However, in line with the Government decision to suspend cruise liner visits during the COVID crisis, the vessels do not have any passengers on board, and they are berthing exclusively to take on bunkers, stores, discharge garbage, and transfer crew between the vessels. No crew members are allowed to disembark, with the exception of those transferring from one vessel to the other, and no attendance on board from shore-based staff is permitted during the vessels' short stay in Gibraltar.

twangster Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 "which include the world's biggest cruise ship, the Harmony of the Seas. " I always marvel at the press who don't fact check. I appreciate you didn't write this yourself. Interesting find and goes to show that Royal is doing everything it can to get Allure into dry dock.
