JBlock54 Posted November 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Just off the 11-16 cruise on Allure and it seems like there was a lot of vibration near the rear of the ship in the Aqua theatre and dining rooms. I've been on the Oasis several times and don't remember this much vibration. I know the Allure went into drydock to fix worn bearings not To long ago. Do I not remember this vibration on Oasis or is there a known problem on the Allure? Other than that the cruise was amazing, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!

FishOn55 Posted November 24, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Did you find the vibration extended up into the cabin areas? I have cabin 7700 booked for a March Allure sailing. Do you think I will feel the vibration there? Also, is Allure doing Dynamic Dining yet or still just My Time and early and late seating? Thanks.

Clarea Posted November 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2014 ...Also, is Allure doing Dynamic Dining yet or still just My Time and early and late seating?... Allure is still MTD and traditional until after dry dock in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I was on the Allure shortly before she went in for repairs. Other than not running at full speed, causing some late arrival and early departure times, it was not an issue. No vibrations then, but haven't sailed on her recently.

JBlock54 Posted November 24, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted November 24, 2014 My parents had cabin 6728 which is the last cabin on deck 6 and the vibration could be felt. It was rattling the hangers in the closet. The allure is still doing my time late and early seating. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenhem31 Posted November 24, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I was on Allure 11/9-11/16. We were in 14728, last room aft, starboard side. We felt a little bit of vibration but it was not a big deal at all. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlock54 Posted November 24, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The vibration didn't ruin the cruise or anything I was just curious why there was so much vibration in the back that I don't remember on other ships.

TubbyMrT Posted November 24, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Vibration is typically noticeable when the ship is maneuvering around the harbor or increasing in speed while at see. The root cause of the vibration is typically propeller cavitation and is nothing to worry about. If the problem persists while at cruising speed, it is not propeller cavitation unless they are trying to break some sort of speed record. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted November 24, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Happy even with a bit of vibration it was a good cruise for you. :) Did you have dinner in any of the specialty restaurants ... if so, which and did you enjoy?? LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the problem persists while at cruising speed, it is not propeller cavitation unless they are trying to break some sort of speed record. :) We were on Allure Halloween week (Boardwalk balcony on deck 14), and the vibration was so bad that the piece of artwork over the bed rattled all night, keeping us awake. This happened on the leg from Nassau to St. Thomas. We rolled up pieces of paper and jammed it between the wall and the fixture, which was followed by maintenance coming and doing the same thing. They said it was due to going at a faster speed to make it to St. Thomas on time, and sure enough after that we didn't notice the vibrations the rest of the trip.

Cupcrazy Posted November 24, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I was on the November 9 sailing of Allure and we got the following notice when we checked in. There was a small propulsion/speed issue. I don't think it would be the cause of vibrations but you never know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlock54 Posted November 24, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I know when it had the worn bearings it affected the eastern route too. I was on the western so we didn't receive that letter. I wonder if they received that letter again this week. There was defiantly more than normal vibration.

JBlock54 Posted November 24, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I was going to ask in the captains corner but I ended up missing it because I had the wrong time written down. Hopefully someone asks and posts. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauren0309 Posted November 24, 2014 #15 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I was on the same cruise as the OP and didn't notice any vibration. We were in cabin 7201 midship. I also didn't notice it in the dining room or aquatheater. Besides the vibration the OP speaks of, it was the smoothest sailing that sometimes I forgot I was even on a ship.

fsjosh Posted November 26, 2014 #19 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I was in the 10730 Aquatheater suite and noticed the vibration at various times. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. Never anything that would cause any real problems though. I did have to move the empty hangers in the closet on the first day though. I have nothing to compare it to though as it was my first trip on an Oasis class. Awesome ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlock54 Posted November 26, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted November 26, 2014 They are beautiful ships. I didn't post this thread to rant saying it ruined my cruise because the trip was perfect. I was just wondering if anybody knew of and problems on Allure that was causing the vibrations. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorning Posted November 26, 2014 #21 Share Posted November 26, 2014 We haven't been to the Caribbean in quite a few years as we have been taking longer cruises to Europe, South America, Asia, etc. where we always get dressed up for formal nights so I am wondering if folks were wearing tuxes to dinner on formal nights? We will be on the Allure in February. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back2reality Posted November 26, 2014 #22 Share Posted November 26, 2014 We are currently on the Allure, headed to St. Thomas. The captain just announced we would be delayed a few hours into St. Thomas due to some mechanical problem that was just replaced in Ft. Lauderdale two days ago. We are currently midship, and the vibration is heavier than normal, but nothing that will ruin our vacation.

cruiserdudebobby8 Posted November 26, 2014 #24 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hope they get this fixed soon as we sail in a few weeks. Will she just wait to get fixed in dry dock in Spain or will she go to freeport again Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how Royal Caribbean enforces dress codes 😞 Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
