SadieN Posted December 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2014 She'll be getting the same treatment as the Pride just received. Lido movie screen, Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Carnival Posted December 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 12, 2014 She'll be getting the same treatment as the Pride just received. Lido movie screen, Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana etc. And address the azipod issue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiTaiMary Posted December 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 14, 2014 When I was on the Miracle last month I asked about this. I was interested in Guys Burgers and the Waterworks. They said "yes" to Guys and "no" to new waterslides. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted December 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The drydock has been discussed in many previous threads! It is scheduled from March 7-21ish 2015. Here is one previous thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2108382&highlight=miracle+dry+dock IF you put Miracle Dry Dock into the search box on this forum you will find MANY more threads!

CrzRani Posted January 2, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I wish Carnival would publicize this already. Seems that bookings are low, specifically to my cruise date on the Miracle. Tons of rooms still available. Perhaps if they released the info, more people would be enticed to reserve. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdamion Posted January 2, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 2, 2015 They have publicized it like any other drydock but because of propulsion issue she needs it urgently. They haven't publicized it like other drydocks. They have been very vague. I want to book it, but their lack of info is confusing. The NCL ship I am booked on is returning from drydock 5 days earlier and NCL has said exactly what they are upgrading on the ship. Carnival has said very little. It is irritating.

RANCHOVISTA Posted January 7, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Is this ship still safe with the engine problems I'm hearing about?:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20somethingguy Posted January 22, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Is this ship still safe with the engine problems I'm hearing about?:rolleyes: Yes, the ship is still safe. They are having propulsion problems with one of their azipods (the propellers). All that means is that the ship is relying more on one engine than the other to propel the ship. Until the propulsion issue is fixed, the ship will have to reduce their speed from 22 down to 18-20 knots. All hotel and safety systems are unaffected. One thing I did read from someone on here is that the unbalanced propulsion is causing more rocking of the ship. Maybe someone who has taken Miracle in the past 8 months can confirm this here. The Miracle had a hard time getting to all of the ports in Hawaii during its run there and also had to cancel a number of Alaska and Hawaii sailings in 2014 since the ship can't travel the long distance fast enough. Safety has nothing to do with it. Here's a link to a Cruise Critic article the issue: http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=5823 Edited January 22, 2015 by 20somethingguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted January 22, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) We were on the October HI cruise. We had a bit of rocking going over and even less on the way back. The route to HI crosses the Alaskan current. It's almost always rocking. Edited January 22, 2015 by SadieN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
