TJM001 Posted July 29, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2010 According to an article in USA Today, the Emerald Princess lost power for several hours yesterday. Would not have been fun. http://travel.usatoday.com/cruises/post/2010/07/emerald-princess-cruises-cruise-engine-power-trouble/101197/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJM001 Posted July 29, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Oops. Sorry, but it still would have spoiled the evening. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belease Posted July 29, 2010 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2010 It's worrying they don't know what caused it! At least it was just inconvenient rather than life-threatening. Imagine if someone had needed the medical equipment at the time or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Heather, Remember the ships systems are pretty much running 24/7 in one form or another so theses things do happen. No biggie they have very expert people onboard/ashore at their disposal.
