I was a crewmember on this beautiful white Lady Astor. On her last cruise from 04.12.2019 until 12.04.2020..it was my first cruise ship experience and i will never forget her. 😔😔😔😔😔😔💙

Really cool you both served on that ship ! Curious for stories :)

[@dimitrisk02]

My mom was the crew operator of the Astor since October 2016, and remained on that post until she was laid off in April 2020. She had never been onboard the Astor unfortunately.

[@FliVids]

My gosh that's an a amazing experience to watch this for you

[@quattrohead]

Almost 30 years after my experience working on the Caribe 1 I can still smell her and visualize so much of her. I think you grow emotionally attached because they look after your life on the sea's. This video is high quality and high sadness.

[@4eigner1981]

I'd been working with my wife on this amazing cruise liner when her name was Fedor Dostoyevskiy, and then on Astor, from 1989 till 1996, and honestly speaking these were the happiest years of our life! Farewell to Astor!

@@Hoshino_Channel yeah, i remember watching the videos of her being beached at the scrapyard a few months ago, so not surprised shes soup cans now :(

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Yeah, the most bizarre thing there are FOUR Carnivals right now in exact spot which were launched in 90s!! I have no idea why nobody bought them and make them floating hotels etc. Even Turkish companies could use them for other purposes but im guessing they are selling them for scrapping only..

[@jasonarcher7268]

Pre covid maybe

[@Planet__3]

It’s so sad to see this video. This was the ship I did my first ever cruise on. 20 years ago we sailed from Germany to Norway. It was such a nice ship.

[@pwo128]

Fascinating. As a mariner of nearly 38 years experience I'm amazed to see just how much the company left onboard...so much in terms of fittings that could have been sold off separately and some costs recovered. What a huge waste.

[@patrickgeerlings4192]

I think the company never intented for the ship to be sold for scrap. They were ambushed by COVID19 and went bankrupt before anything could be salvaged. The auctioneers don't give a crap, they are just looking for quick cash...

[@bigjay6743]

You got that right it's a huge waste. More money than brains some people. Wish I had that problem...

[@MagnusMaximusinWales]

It was sent to auction as a (potentially) going concern.

[@AaronShenghao]

I think the operator don’t have the manpower or channels to disassemble and sell those equipment so they just bulk sold to scrappers.

[@Dalida...]

Unfortunately, the family operating the ship had unpleasant memories of this ship. what happened was so sad. They disposed of it, ignoring all the remaining income from this ship.

[@voidblock]

It is very sad to see a native ship in this form, many years spent in the walls of this wonderful ship. It is especially sad to see your jobs and cabin in which more than 20 years have been spent... Everything is thrown as it was with me, I still remember how last year (March 2020) I left these walls for the last time, I don't know that I won't be back here again. Thank you for this hard and sad "tour of death"...

[@andrewdegozaru74]

Eerie. Reminds me of a draining experience clearing an estate full of stuff that meant so much to the deceased, but now only carries residual value for the living. The spirit of the ship, which created so many different memories for its passengers is dyeing despite its sound condition.

[@RP-ks8vj]

What a shame. Once a piece of luxury now a heap of scrap.. Ship still looks absolutely wonderful ☹️

[@henrikaleksandernilsen6388]

It's strange to see anything abandoned with all the modern equipment still there and not looted like you often see. It feels like you could turn the ship back on again and start cruising on it, if it wasn't for the giant hole in the bow.

I'm sure most, if not all of the equipment, furniture etc was salvaged and used for other vessels.

The hole would certainly let the water in, true, but if you make another hole to let the water out again, you'll be fine.

[@shirishjadhav9027]

@@mericet39 that's not how it works...the second you make the another hole in the bow, the shear force of the ocean waves will not allow the water to go out rather the ship will collect more water after creating that another her hole, probably making the ship much efficient to sink 1 hour early than what it would have sunk in 2 hours or so!

[@patsadventures6381]

Hard to believe that such a beautiful ship had to be scrapped, especially when the put so much money in it in 2010. WOW. Great video!!

[@navithefairy]

To be fair, 19 million sounds like alot, but it's pennies for a ship this size.

[@shaggyduder]

I agree, but ships in general are costly to maintain. It probably cost 5-7 mil. A year just to maintain her, and sitting still, is really bad for any ship. It sad to see such a beauty be scrapped.

[@Littlepaw7]

They could be renovated cheaply to house people who have no home. There are old hospitals and other buildings that could be fixed and used cheaper then what they charge per unit for affordable housing which is about 300 thousand per unit.

Absolutely amazing how these cruise ships go from being active in the cruise industry and land on a beach to be chopped seemingly from one day to the next. Nothing removed from the ship from the previous owners except the crew personal belongings. All the computer equipment, documents, books, etc all left like trash. I have sailed on a few Carnival ships, some are scrapped now. I got married on the Carnival Triumph in Miami in 2004 followed by a 7 day cruise with my new bride and several of our friends and it was the most fun week of my life.

It is so strange to see so much left behind. Furniture and fixtures is expected. There appeared to be so many supplies and even merchandise from the shops!

[@TWX1138]

It wouldn't surprise me if the cruise line first did a pretty abrupt temporary operational halt of the ship and basically cleared most of the crew nonessential to sailing it with the intention of bringing it back into service, but then as COVID-19 dragged on that temporary halt became permanent and there simply wasn't the staffing to properly clear it out.

[@johnrauner2515]

@@TWX1138 Far more likely it was just more expensive to clear it out than to just sell it as is. In fact I'd say that is entirely what it was. No point retrieving $200 of your property if it's going to cost $400 to do it.

[@TWX1138]

@@johnrauner2515 ... wouldn't that sort of go hand-in-hand with there not being the staff onboard to offload? I mean, if normally your job is to run a retail store and you've got a storeroom in addition to the storefront, and the ship is accustomed to bringing on packaged supplies for foodstuffs and other items needed to service the passengers, you'd probably have somewhat easy access to boxes to pack up the retail merch. Pack the merch, place it wherever the senior crew has designated for offload, and it gets offloaded when the vessel is in-port. After all, you're already aboard so it doesn't really cost any more to do this if you know that you're wrapping up operations permanently. If you close-up and leave without necessarily having packed the store though, then it does cost money to return to the store to pack up at least those retail items that were left on display. It's possible that merch still boxed-up in storerooms was offloaded, if there was somewhere convenient to send it after it was offloaded, but it too might be abandoned if there was nowhere good to send it. Who owns the strores/merch onboard? Is it a semi-independent franchise like many retailers, or is it owned by the cruise line itself?

[@becconvideo]

I suppose "verildi" means something like "sold" - so the scrap yard makes some extra money selling those furnitures. These times must be a bonanza for them - normally only worn out ships go into scrap - but these days some relatively new ones in good maintainance shape. So expect those chairs to reappear in some bar or hotel in Turkey, Aserbaichan or some other country in the region. Not all loose in such a situation.
