Traveller94 Posted July 19, 2023 #326 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Thanks for the live posting. I have been following along to see what to expect when we embark the Pride on the 21st. If you hear anything about the next cruise, I would greatly appreciate the head up. I hope you enjoy your unexpected sea day. Thanks again for all the time you have taken to post.

I hope you enjoy your unexpected sea day. Thanks again for all the time you have taken to post. I’m onboard now and staying onboard for the next cruise. I am disappointed about missing the port today, but 2 sea days in a row isn’t the worst thing. However, I am extremely worried about the next cruise. This morning it doesn’t feel like we are moving. Oh well, nothing I can do except hope it gets fixed. I’ll share any info I hear. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am SURE we will get more information live from the Captain this morning, but it cannot be good. Jim 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 19, 2023 Author #332 Share Posted July 19, 2023 The Captain just came on and said they are continuing to work on the propulsion issues. Basically restating the letter I posted above. Interesting that there is no further news. More to come. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelnplane Posted July 19, 2023 #335 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) According to a german forum there is probably 1 tug heading to the Pride from Kiel. Sound like a larger issue. Edited July 19, 2023 by Travelnplane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseHealing Posted July 19, 2023 #340 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Someone said on our Facebook page that they called “Otto’s Tug and Tow Services”. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsglow Posted July 19, 2023 #341 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I'm a bit surprised that there hasn't been more said onboard. But I suppose IF this turns out to be a major issue preventing the ship from returning to Dover than the logistics of dealing with thousands of passengers and even getting them back to London by air will be daunting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Nope, we have two grand kids so couple balconies aft port side right in front of bowling alley cabin next to aft wrap.
