On Legend all power lost

I'm currently on the Legend and we are sitting dead in the water somewhere in the Caribbean. The captain just came on and said one of the engines "tripped". Hoping things change soon!

Good luck! With any luck something kicked out, and a reset will get it fixed

Sorry to hear that ...hope things are back to normal soon!

I hope all you folks will be fine.

Marine traffic last shows Legend between Cuba and Haiti at 1.07 this morning doing 1.9 kn. She is not showing her position at the moment. OP are you moving yet?

Oh no...sorry to hear that news Deb :( Hope they get it fixed and back up and running soon. Keep us updated if you can.

How is everything else on the ship?

If all power was/is lost, how were you able to post? April Fool's joke?

There is a little bit if power. Wifi is working.

Maybe power for propulsion is lost, but generators for ship electricity are still working.

I hope our resident engineer will see this and shed some light on it. I was always under the impression that ALL Royal Caribbean ships have redundant power sources so this doesnt happen.

Could this be the Captains way of playing an April Fools joke? :confused:

Scratch this theory.

I just read that Legend is all electric, 5 engines generating electricity that power 2 electric motors for propulsion.

No pun intended? ;)

Gosh, that was terrible wasnt it! :o

We're back up and running. Yea!

You could have been the first US cruise ship to stop at Cuba in a long time. LOL

Hope it stays that way & there are no more problems..................

But the title of the post is 'On Legend all power lost'. Misleading.

Legend is not a US cruise ship...

But glad that power restored quickly and without any severe impact.

Glad to hear Legend is good to go again. We had a great time on her on the last cruise 3/20/2015!

In the event of a massive electrical failure in the engine room, the only backup power source is the emergency generator. It powers emergency lighting and some other critical systems only. It cannot power the propulsion system.

I don't know how the engines are laid out on Legend or if she has separate engine rooms. I know that at least Voyager class and newer all have 2 independent engine rooms so that if one suffers a failure the other is completely separate electrically and phyiscally and can continue running its engines for propulsion power.
