She was still there at the yard in July 2023; could see her from the Moerdijkbrug (E19/A16).

« on: June 22, 2022, 10:10:02 PM »Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity have been sold for $24 million and $103 million respectively. Here is the link. https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/finance/crystal-symphony-serenity-reported-sold-128m
The buyers seem to be shell companies, which some ship buyers and Shipbreakers use. I think the Crystal Symphony is going to the shipbreakers considering her price she was bought and her age. Hopefully, the Serenity can continue sailing.
Widely reported in the industry that they have been sold to A&K Travel Group, who will continue to operate the pair under the Crystal Cruises brand (which they have also acquired).

According to Royal Caribbean's statement, which can be read here: https://www.royalcaribbeanpresscenter.com/press-release/1487/royal-caribbeans-empress-and-majesty-of-the-seas-set-to-depart-fleet/
"the ships have been sold to an undisclosed party, based in Asia-Pacific, that will release details for future sailings at a later time."
So I doubt they are going to Aliaga.

BTW, both Empress of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas are both in cold lay-up in Souda, Greece with Pullmantur Horizon. It's obviously that the three vessels are likely to sail to Aliaga soon, even though RCI is denying it.
HORIZON is in Eleusis Bay, not Souda.
EMPRESS OF THE SEAS and MAJESTY OF THE SEAS are not in "COLD" lay-up, they are crewed, with engines running etc. Currently, EMPRESS OF THE SEAS is doing 5 knots to the east of Souda Bay, so definitely not cold.

« on: September 18, 2020, 08:19:43 PM »The Zenith has been returned to Royal Caribbean. She is presently at Lavrion, so not very far from Aliaga. She will sail there with her sister ship Horizon. Horizon still laid up in Pireaus.I am sorry, but this simply is not correct.
She was sold by RCL, being handed over in January 2020 to Zenith Cruise Inc, a subsidiary of Japan Grace Co. (Peace Boat), with Maritime Holdings Group Inc. as technical managers. She was renamed "THE ZENITH" under the Panamanian flag in March, as seen here: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=3198452
Ship is classed by DNV GL, who confirm these details, see: https://vesselregister.dnvgl.com/vesselregister/vesseldetails.html?vesselid=G107402

This looks like the 1958 built CECILIA FALKLAND (IMO 5260942), which later became DSR's ODER (in 1962).

Charles, I was in the area in late July. Whilst crossing over Hollands Diep (on A16), I spotted the "CORNELIGUE" at a berth/yard between Moerdijk and the bridge. Sadly, there was no way of photographing her at the spot. "BURHO" (though she still has "BURHOU I" on her bow) was seen at Ridderkerk, the following day; on the berth she has been on for well over a year, amongst the other vessels being marketed by Dick van der Kamp.

Once all of their interior furnishings have been removed, they will sail to Aliaga.Angelgreat, this is at least fourth time you have made this statement in this forum. Can you please link to a genuine/official source which has advised that this pair are going to Aliaga, or is this statement an assumption based on the movements of the other ships (so far Monarch and Sovereign).

Just so there is no confusion, she arrived as ROTTERDAM. The renaming (to Borealis) will be undertaken once she is handed over, during her stay at Rosyth.

Afraid this is incorrect; HMS SEVERN is in Portsmouth.
HMS TYNE is currently Queens South, whilst HMS FORTH is on Queens North. From the road above the docks, looking northwards, the FORTH would be behind the TYNE.
