Default They better have it fixed by next week
Ok, i'm really TIRED of hearing about propulsion issues.. We were in the Miracle a few years ago headed to Panama and Costa rica... had 'propulsion' problems and made it a western carib trip instead... lots of VERY unhappy people. Rumor going around is thats the 'excuse' they use to save money on gas and skip ports/go slower and keep to closer ports.

Seems to be a familiar problem in the fleet.. and so soon after a 2.0 upgrade... wouldn't they have 'checked' everything at that point?

Have a great sailing! Make the best of it all, I tried to book it but couldn't get flights.

We sailed Glory twice this year, June & September, great crew, great ship! Must be even better with all the 2.0 upgrades!

As I watch the port of Miami web cam, she has turned off the blue lights in the front of the ship preparing to leave.

So the Glory, which just got out of dry-dock a couple weeks ago, is experiencing propulsion problems as well?

Marine traffic is showing her cruising at 20 knots. Wonder what the issue is...

20 knots doesn't seem to indicate any sort of propulsion problem. The OP was on board talking about it & indicatedthey would repair it in Nassau? Weird....
