Allure running late 11/25/14

Very strong wind and sea current plus an engine problem is slowing the allure down right now. We will be late into st thomas on Wednesday. Capt says problem should be fixed in st Thomas. Will not arrive to port until 12:45 and can't get off ship until at least 1:45. All is well.

I wonder if this is a different propulsion problem than they tried to fix in Freeport a few months ago?

They didn't specify the problem. Winds are around 50mph on the upper deck with forward progress of ship.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your cruise. Please post and keep us updated whether the problem gets repaired in St. Thomas like they said it would.

The captain did say that the problem has to do with a turbo charger that was installed this past Sunday. It has quit working. It has slowed us by 1 kt and that combined with the strong winds has slowed us down.

What they should do, since it's a short ride over to SXM, is to leave an hour or two later tomorrow evening. Obviously that won't happen.

I wonder if that means one of the 6 engines is out of service.
