Fantasy Test Sailing

[Lawdawg]

I thought the Fantasy was supposed to have its first test sailing yesterday, 7/26. Did that change? It never left Port Canaveral yesterday.

do we know what time. gotta watch her leave.

Dream left around 4:00, I think. Since the first rule of DCL test cruising is not to talk about DCL test cruising, it's
anyone's guess!

Thank you

According to this it´s next month. I´m a bit anxious, as we´re set to sail in September and this is cutting it awfully close.

THAT ABSOLUTELY STINKS - I had no idea, still thought the test cruise was today. I am not loving that they are sailing the Fantasy to Nassau, that is not a port on either the Eastern or the Western. I sure hope they provide some information to those of us with September cruises SOON.

Could this be an indication that they plan to change the Fantasy sailings to 3 and 4 night cruises instead of a 7-night? Sure seems like it.

I read today too.

I think these are the test cruises that are being offered to CM’s at a highly reduced rate, not the CDC simulated sailing, which will happen first. I know the Fantasy brought on more crew today, but I don’t know if they will conduct the simulated sailing before onboard training.

it looks like she dropped her ropes…..I don’t have a clue now.

She should be heading out in a few minutes. I'll be interested to see if Dumbo has returned.

Fantasy still has at least her bow ropes. I've got the webcam up right now.

Edit: NOW she is dropping them.

Edit again: Or one of them.

Fantasy is on the move!!

 

[Dug720]

Looks like no passengers. Probably sailing to anchorage. They can't sit at dock all the time.

Appears to be crew waving on Deck 4.

Nice to hear the whistle though!!

 

[KashasMom]

This is AWESOME!! I am so excited to see this!!

 

[HiStitch626]

Dumbo is back!

 

[Dug720]

It looks to be raining too, so that could be why people aren't out on deck?

 

[HiStitch626]

Probably sailing to anchorage.

I think you're right, Marine Traffic lists her destination as the PC anchorage.

Given that her destination is listed as PC Anchorage, it is only crew on board, so most of them are doing what they need to do inside.
