coneyraven Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 There is a flurry of activity on the CC Roll Calls and Facebook Grandeur OTS Fan Page, that apparently she has had to cancel the March 7th and March 16th Sailings due to going into Drydock..... This rumor has been all over the place ...... yet, I have yet to receive any sort of confirmation on if it actually is happening, and if so, why, and what is being done on her if it is, in fact, true.

CruisinUngs Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I have seen this as well. What’s interesting is also the rumors of RC shopping the ship for sale. Could it be to spruce her up for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at it this way, all ships are for sale, if the right price is offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no reason to believe that site is legitimate. coneyraven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Don't sell her till I get down there to sail on her...really trying to make it work in 2019! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I have mixed feeling about this. Emotional attached because of 5 times sailing with her and feel like my second home. However, we need a newer ship to Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 @coneyraven Maybe asking RC on your upcoming cruise 10/25/18 about it. I would like to know about it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susie Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Does anyone have a link of Grandeur OTC fan page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 I was over on CC this morning and it is now confirmed that at least 2 March 2019 sailings of Grandeur have been officially cancelled (images of the cancellation letters have been posted). I do not recall the dates but it seems like they are in the middle of the month. It states something about unanticipated dry dock maintenance. Nothing more informative than that. I will be on Grandeur 2 more times before the end of the year ! I sure hope whatever is wrong won't affect those 2 sailings. Matter of fact, we're leaving for Baltimore tomorrow and board on Saturday....then again on Dec. 21 for a 12 night Christmas + NY cruise.

twangster Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 It could be they detected something that is starting to run out of tolerance but isn't an issue at the moment. A cylinder consuming excessive oil, a bearing that is beginning to show signs of wear. Routine inspections are designed to catch things well before they fail and it appears they found something that is starting to become an issue but still operates normally for now. So many parts to a ship, but routine inspections and preventative maintenance is designed to catch things before they fail so it would seem the process is working. Better to cancel a few cruises a few months away and fix it rather than having the ship fail next summer or beyond in the middle of the ocean. That's exactly why they routinely do inspections.
