Hello, just wanted to know what the status is with Premier right
now? We have'nt seen anything in
our local papers or local t.v.
news. We don't have a cruise booked with them right now. But we're just very curious. Thank you
for your help.

On the surface everything seems to be going OK for them. BRB2 is sailing happily from NY & BRB3 from Houston. Although the Rembrandt had some serious a/c problems while under charter to Didion Cruises. That seemed to be corrected. I went out on my boat Saturday & escorted her out of the Dundalk Terminal in Baltimore. Her starboard side (pierside that the passengers saw while embarking) was in very nice shape. Her port side was horrible! Peeled off paint, rust, rust & more rust! She needs a good paint job asap. Many of my clients on the BRB2 cancelled cruises on 6/3 & 6/24 still have not received refunds on the credit cards. That worries me.

Good. Maybe they'll honour the free cruise coupon we got last week on the Rembrandt.

She must have either scrapped something or have gone through some really rough weather between 7/6 & 7/22. BIG rust areas at the bow, no paint at the waterline & paint peeling off her port "stack". Even with all that...she's one good looking lady!
