Allure and propulsion problems.

[long pond cruiser]

Probably just the weather.

 

The Daytona 500 was delayed several hours yesterday due to thunderstorms.

 

yeah, your probably right....gonna have more coffee just in case;):).

[ivalee]

is it me or when looking at the Aqua Theater cam, does it look like the ship is moving and I see waves? Maybe I just need more coffee.....

 

Looks like that to me. That would be good!

Doesn't look like it is moving to me. That is just the water in the harbor.

Good question!

 

I wonder too! :rolleyes:

 

 

Because it's not adrift in the middle of the Gulf with toilets spewing sewage. I would assume it's not real news until something like that happens.

There are also so many other ships that have engine or other mechanical issues, it is only people like us who care. And as you say she is not adrift with passengers in trouble

That link does not seem to work. It is just a blank page that comes up.

Wow, that is neat. Thanks for sharing.

Was onboard last week. The plan is to dam off the water around the azipods and suck the water out, then make the repairs. The crew will be staying onboard for extra cleaning and training for something new coming up.

[LMaxwell]

Cool; I hope there will be more along the way.

[Eng23]

Ok. It has to be my computer. I just looked at the link on my phone. Nice to see the Allure is there. I hope we get a picture with a bit better perspective on how it is positioned for the repair work.

Thanks for the link

Does anyone know what the crew of the Allure is doing this week during the drydock? It wouldn't make sense for most of them to return home for just a few days (and very expensive, too!) Is royal putting them up in Fort Lauderdale until she returns? Are they staying somewhere in Freeport for the week? Obviously the navigation crew had to travel to Freeport, but did all 1600 crew travel as well?

[jahannah]

My guess is that the vast majority traveled with the ship to the repair dock. There are lots of things the hospitality crew can do during the downtime and they remain under contract to work.

[Bobal]

I know someone who works in the casino and she's posted how happy she is to have a week's unplanned vacation in Freeport.

 

I doubt whether the crew will be so lucky as I would think RC have lined up cleaning/sorting/maintenance jobs for them. However, I'm sure they'll work a lot less hours than usual and hopefully catch up on some much needed sleep. I would imagine the crew will just stay onboard.

 

I'll be boarding on Sunday and looking forward to a clean ship and a newly refreshed crew :D

On the Serenade our waiter told us after their drydock/refit he now knows how to lay carpets.

[Big_G]

We had one bartender tell us that they'll be doing extra work and another said there should be some 'mad' crew parties. Probably both.

Thanks for the re post of the pics!!

 

More more more!

[Dave85]

Awesome pics!!! Thanks for posting!

[wmp.dll]

Amazing how they do that. Even in sick bay Allure of the Seas is one fine looking Cruise Ship. Can't wait to get on the fully functioning version in ten weeks.

[Big_G]

Thanks for the pics.
