Flying Dutchman?

[paragon]

Quick question, and I think I found the answer already, but I'm going to ask anyway.

Is the Flying Dutchman still at CC? Or has it been removed?

[Ed]

Regrettably, I understand that it has been removed from CC. :(

Thats sad. We just booked a three night cruise for April, on the dream. I was hoping it would still be there. Oh well.

[Catzle]

Yes its gone, I was surprised. I guess its in a lot of pieces. I didn't even know they were doing this. Glad we got to see it last year.

Yea! I finally get to answer a question that I know about. The flying Dutchman is still at Castaway Cay, however, it has been moved to a small inlet located to the starboard side of the cruiseline ship when it is docked. I was mostly tore apart. Much of the structural steel and the masts were laying on the shore. The ship itself looked like a derelict that had been there for years. A crewmember told me that they were refurbing it. Only time will tell.

We were there this past December and it was in a small inlet in back of the dock where the ship docked. There were no sails or decorations, just basically the hull of the ship. It didn't look anything like the Flying Dutchman. We didn't see anyone working on it. I hope they put it back in time for our November 2011 trip...I really wanted to see it.

I was just at Castaway Cay a week ago and I can confirm that the Dutchman is gone. It's backstage somewhere and, depending on who you listen to, it's either being refurbished for your future enjoyment or dismantled.

But trust me ... you won't miss it. The island is so beautiful and there's just so much to do there that you'll completely forget you were even looking for the Dutchman!

Im glad we got to see it on the last cruise but I have to agree with Ian, CC is so beautiful and there's so much to do, you wont miss it.

Why did they move it?

[Ian]

Why did they move it?I'm not sure anyone really knows. As I mentioned, some sources say it's being dismantled and some say it's being refurbished. I can't find anything reliable to confirm one way or the other.

The most common story, though, is that it was aging badly so it's being dismantled and discarded.

Too bad. We've been there 3 times and loved seeing it. We'll miss it if we ever can afford to go back!
