Paradise Lost Propulsion

Read on another group page that the Captain of the Paradise just announced that the ship had lost propulsion. They have power and are currently docked at Cozumel.

Interesting. Wonder how the Captain noticed that they lost propulsion,,,if they're at the pier? In any case, I can think of worse places to be if indeed, they do have a propulsion problem.....;p

Agree that it is a good place to be if stuck......

Paradise is not docked. They are approx 5 to 10 miles from the port. People can see the port

Hi

I have never been in that sort of situation, but I would imagine if there were mechanical issues that they were working on, you would still be responsible to be on the ship at the scheduled departure time.

I can't see how they would be willing to let you off the ship any more than they would let you off a plane if there were trying to fix a problem.

While Cozumel is nice place to visit, a mechanical issues would still trap you on the ship.

Has anybody been in a similar situation?

It is a tad early to start that. I cannot recall having read of a ship that close stuck. The Dream was stuck once in st maarten but that was at the pier. The first report seemed to indicate it was at the pier. I am sure things are under control and everyone is safe.

Hopefully, they can at least get the boat to port. If I was stranded at sea for days, missing out on ports, I'd be pretty frustrated. I could deal with an overnight Cozumel while they worked things out.

Jimbo get your hammer and nail and go fix it !;p

If needed, I am sure there tugs not that far away.

The ship tracker I use shows her docked at the downtown pier instead of Puerta Maya. Isn't that unusual for her?

Looks like two other Carnival ships already at Puerta Maya (Triumph and Sensation).

I just checked and the Paradise can not be booked for either June or July.

The bookings are available.

The bookings are available.

Perhaps they are for you. When I went in there was a lock symbol on all June and July bookings for the Paradise. I do not know why it showed up for you.

Looks pretty available to me:

June 18 is sold out, but I can mock book other dates. Strange

Mine is finally showing, and I could even book for the 18th.

Magic has propulsion issues too! Canceled St. Thomas stop on cruise that leaves tonight. Was 7-hrs late arriving back to Port Canaveral.

Well, it sounds like the engineers at Carnival ran out of duct tape. LOL Hope none of this is serious, 'cause I love sailing Carnival, and "Paradise" in particular....

Also the Magic have problems, she will arrive late to Port Canaveral and for the next cruise cancels St Thomas

I booked last oceanview cabin on Paradise July 2/18 sailing this week and I see they are still selling interior cabins right now.

Can OP post the link where they got the info. on this topic.

Please keep us up to date.

Marine tracker shows it at Cozumel.
