Wonders10 Posted June 4, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Just checked the site...it seems to have turned and is aiming for Rome, so a change in itinerary? Wonder why? Will be watching closely...I'll be on her next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooler Posted June 4, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 4, 2012 She seems to have turned back out to sea again?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonders10 Posted June 4, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Crazy...is there bad weather out there? Maybe going off course to avoid it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peteymil Posted June 4, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It did make a weird loop back, but now it is heading out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted June 4, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Now it looks like it's making another turn towards the land... :confused: A cruise to nowhere? Hope everything is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted June 4, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 4, 2012 This is VERY VERY strange..... wonder what is going on???? :confused::confused::confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonders10 Posted June 4, 2012 #9 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hoping everything is okay but I am selfishly worrying if this will impact our cruise on her next week (i.e. if it is a ship issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohemian Posted June 4, 2012 #11 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hoping everything is okay but I am selfishly worrying if this will impact our cruise on her next week (i.e. if it is a ship issue) I was thinking along those lines (ship issues) as well but then the distance of each loop is about the same as the distance back to Barcelona unless they have to wait for a high tide to get back in?

Bohemian Posted June 4, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 4, 2012 They might be testing the propulsion systems as they go up to 23 knots on the straightaways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdiamond Posted June 4, 2012 #14 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Are there tides in the Med???? I do not believe so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted June 4, 2012 #15 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Are there tides in the Med???? About a foot around Barcelona which is probably negligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonders10 Posted June 4, 2012 #16 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Heading back out to sea...again! Stupid question as I do not look at these type of sites, but could this be normal at all for them to do this back and forth? My gut says no, but had to ask.

AerynSun_JohnCrighton Posted June 4, 2012 #17 Share Posted June 4, 2012 She made two great big loops! Anyone heard anything yet? I am concerned for the current passengers as well as myself... as we leave in 12 days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted June 4, 2012 #18 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Two years ago Century made turns like this to test a defective rudder. I hope it is not a pod or steering issue.... but it is very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerynSun_JohnCrighton Posted June 4, 2012 #19 Share Posted June 4, 2012 If it was a airplane, I'd say someone was showing off, but a ship??? I hope what you said, is all that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCruises Posted June 4, 2012 #20 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It sure LOOKS weird! Hopefully someone will post. I wonder how obvious it is onboard, making turns like that. I checked the speed, they weren't slowing into the turns, that's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peteymil Posted June 4, 2012 #21 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I feel like it would be very obvious, and a bit scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare agathasmum Posted June 4, 2012 #22 Share Posted June 4, 2012 FWIW when we left Barcelona a few years back on a HAL ship we were told that we would be doing some manoeuvres for a while before actually setting off on the course for our first port. Perhaps something similar is happening here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted June 4, 2012 #23 Share Posted June 4, 2012 The current time on the Solstice looks to be Monday 9:30 pm. What time did she sail from Barcelona? I'm looking for the correct itinerary.... is she due next in Civitivecchia or Cannes? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
