Legend Azipod Problem

[Aquahound]

I was asked by Gina (Cruzaholic) to say what I knew about this since my office is at the Key West harbor. The Legend did visit yesterday on a scheduled stop, although it was not a usual port for them.

 

Prior to entering KW harbor, the Legend reported problems with one azipod. I do not know the extent of the problem, but oil was being dispersed into the water as a result. The Captain of the Port ordered a boom placed around the ship to contain the spilled oil.

 

The ship got underway as scheduled, but I do not know if the problem was completely fixed or not...or what the future plans are.

...since my office is at the Key West harbor.

 

That sounds almost as good as being on a cruise. If you have to work, there are a lot of worse places to have to do it in besides Key West.

The good news is the Legend isn't sick. The bad news is, for you people sailing next week, well... Just be careful where you sit.. ;)

It goes from Tampa to Grand Cayman, then toward Mexico, Belize and Honduras, then back to Tampa (I only know because we did this one last summer and are booked again this summer.) Key West is a big detour, but stranger things happen.

At the risk of being accused a thread hijacker, I gotta ask: what is that photo in your avatar? I ask because it looks very similar to a photo I took on Virgin Gorda a few years ago (below).

A good website that someone posted a ong time ago that I go to every now and then http://www.cruisejunkie.com/events.html

 

It shows nothing.

I think it has been determined that it was, indeed, nothing.. Just like what the Legend cruisers are wearing..

That loud noise you heard was a big sigh of relief from the 2-15-09 Carnival Legend Roll Call.

I had forgotten where I took that one, but after I pulled the original, and it is neither Virgin Gorda, nor Iles des Saintes. That is on Saba looking down at the airport from Hell's Gate, at a nice little church.

I had to look at the original to remember where I took it, that's what happens when we use big pics as avatars

Perhaps, perhaps not. I mentioned this thread over dinner with my parents last night and my mother mentioned seeing a Carnival ship in Grand Cayman that seemed to have problems holding station. This was the last week in Jan. The ship was Legend, so perhaps it's been having azipod issues for a while.

anything new about the legend? hope its up and running!!

We were on the Legend when it stopped at Key West on 2/9. We did not notice any boom in the water when we departed the ship, nor was any announcement made about any problems. We docked at the outer mole pier, and had to ride trolley's out of the Naval Base. The Garden of Eden, the Key West clothing optional bar, did a fantastic amount of business that day.................:D
