everybody it's Bruce here with driving with Bruce today's date October the 16th
2019 I got some news on the grandeur of the Seas from Royal Caribbean thanks by
the way for subscribing to my channel and giving these videos thumbs ups I
really appreciate all your support now let's talk about the grandeur of the
Seas today Royal Caribbean made the announcement that her days with Royal
Caribbean are coming to an end after 23 years of service and at least two
million passengers on this ship since she was built in 1996 the grandeur of
the Seas is going to leave the fleet March 2021 in about a year and a half
from now right now she sails out of Baltimore and she's going to be
transferred over to the discount cruise line known as Pullman tour Royal
Caribbean owns half of the Pullman to her cruising company and another former
Royal Caribbean ship the monarch sails with pull mentor now so this ship's
gonna join the monarch over in Pullman tour March 2021 and a new ship will be
brought in to Baltimore to replacer the grandeur the Seas has had quite the
history in 2013 there was a major fire on board the ship in the engine room at
the back of the ship several decks were badly burned but six weeks later they
got her all repaired and all was well they refunded of course all the
passengers for their cruises and they rebuilt the ship and she was as good as
new after six weeks of repair it cost them obviously six sailings but the ship
was redone it's had a number of refurbishments over the years she's 916
feet long under 6 feet wide can handle 2440 guests at a time 760 crew so she's
had a long distinguished career although with that one mishap back in all three
the ship like I said we'll work with Pullman toward the they may sail her in
the Mediterranean through the Canary Island area pool mentor does operate
cruises in the Caribbean as well now after March 2021 the next ship
coming in to replace the grandeur of the Seas will be this ship called the
enchantment of the Seas she was originally built in 1997 and in 2005 she
was expanded by 73 feet they cut her in half and brought her out to a nine
hundred eighty eight foot long length now this ship added 151 new cabins to
bring her capacity in twenty four forty six and the thinking was that other
ships would be expanded including the grandeur of the Seas but they never did
do it Royal Caribbean decided no we're just
gonna build larger ships from scratch and they came up with the freedom
version and eventually the Oasis class ships and of course now we have ships
holding over five thousand people quite amazing the enchantment of seas has been
a loyal following worker for Royal Caribbean now they have the Ben &
Jerry's on their the all kinds of bars and restaurants and this ship will just
take the place of the grandeur of the Seas out of Baltimore starting March
2021 and this ship through built in the night light and like I said in the 90s
she's probably handled over 2 million passengers how many times have people
been proposed to on this ship how many weddings have been had here on the ship
quite a few I'm sure a lot of history with the ship by the way speaking of
