The current issue is with one of the ship's diesel engines, which is limiting power generation capacity, so there is less power to the azipods, so the ship goes slower. It would not require a drydock to repair, nor would it likely cause a complete cancellation of a cruise. This is a significant problem with the ships that have gone with only 4 diesel generators. If one of the larger diesels is taken out of service, for repair or maintenance, if the itinerary is not carefully determined, with regards to speed, then the itinerary can become impacted. The ships with 5 or 6 engines have more flexibility, and less impact from an engine being out of service. Just got this in the email. Perhaps they anticpate the limited power generation to persist, to at least June 23 and are adjusting schedules accordingly?

IIRC, they will not let you in the garage until 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max and Ruby Posted March 21, 2023 #128 Share Posted March 21, 2023 @Merion_Mom Ok. Good to know. We parked last June in the open lot for our cruise. No garage because many ships. We were in the terminal at 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I should probably be on the look-out for a similar email in a couple of weeks' time since my final payment for my Norway sailing is due on the 8th of April.

Pandamonia Posted March 21, 2023 #130 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I guess royals pricing is one way. Charge more for less and when we give less don't refund... Imagine the fuel savings over the year whilst they cut the ports short due to engine problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess I’d say they turned all the equipment off and back on again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All wifi systems have issues, and yet RCI seems to only do a reboot (or reset as they call it 🙄) when they have to start refunding money. Sigh. I think this had to do with the initial Starlink system not being installed correctly. Just a rumor I heard onboard… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted March 26, 2023 #136 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Propulsion issue is resolved. Just off the 3-19 cruise on the Anthem and hit all ports on time(even a little early in some cases) Dan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
