VOTS video and question
Charles wrote:
In article , Jaap van Dorp wrote: Funny Tobie their talking about Regent sea and Regent sun, nobody mentioned the Voyager ships. The subject line says VOTS video and look at the thread with the video that someone labeled VOTS video. The video was not of VOTS. The ship's name is almost visible - something like Green Bay or something like that. But that ship is stuck - it's not underway. (IMHO) It isn't moving and is caught between waves coming in from off the starboard bow and another set of waves attacking from the port quarter. |

VOTS video and question
AT the time Regency went under, I had a friend who had booked am upcoming
cruise by check & it took him almost a year to get a portion of his money back- lucky. They were taking money right up till the day they folded. "Cruise Crazy" wrote in message ... ---Nonnymus--- said " It was wonderful, and a great ship and cruise. The line folded the following week. ' We've had that happen 4 times... Epiritoki Cruise, Regency Cruises, Premier Cruises and Rennaisance Cruises. I'm surprised the cruise lines still let us book ~~DORIS~~ ________ / /___/ /___/ /_________ \::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

BTW, Nonny, and everyone else. I looked at that video, and there is no way it was the Voyager of the Seas. The subject header was a little tricky, it said "Voyage of the Seas (video)", so I expected to see the Voyager of the Seas. You are right, Tobie, it was not the Voyager of the Seas. It was a small boat that was in trouble, that is why the aircraft was present. Becca |

With 480 mostly Spanish passengers and 296 crew on board, the ship (sister to EXPLORER, which was also recently left powerless by a Pacific storm -- see January 27th news below) was departing Sardinia on a voyage between Tunis and Barcelona. A French-led rescue operation was reportedly under way to reach the stricken ship, about 100 km (60 miles) from Menorca. There were reports of minor injuries and the crew were battling to restore engine power. A liquefied gas tanker, GIMMI, was standing by after receiving the VOYAGER's distress call sent just after 0900 GMT February 14. A large wave smashed the bridge windows at about 0800 GMT, damaging electronics and causing the loss of power. The distress call said it was taking on water, the coast guard reported. Two tugs were on their way to the scene and several aircraft have also been sent to the scene. Click here for Peter knego's tour of the ship as OLYMPIC VOYAGER |
