florisdekort Posted June 3, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Good luck. I have had that misfortunate twice on Celebrity's M class. Once the cruise got terminated because the ship needed to limp to dry dock for under water pod repairs. The second time it was related to auxiliary systems / software and was fixed in port in about 24 hours. Keep us posted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zouave Posted June 3, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Still here. Will hopefully make Cadiz. All private SHOREX will have to be cancelled. Crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie A Posted June 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Actually I really like Cadiz. It has a lovely old town with an impressive Cathedral, interesting architecture and a great town beach. It is Moorish in appearance with little streets opening onto small squares. Lots of bars and restaurants and you can see the sea from practically everywhere. You can walk to the headland through lovely parks in about an hour. It isn't Seville, but it is a very pleasant port. Zoave, I hope you manage to get there and enjoy your day.

Zouave Posted June 3, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Thanks. But the pain here is this was going to be Azamara's last trip up the river. CPT is bummed and so are we. To be able to sail up the the locks and now have to "bus up" is a bummer. Big bucks... No luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KazLoudspeaker Posted June 3, 2016 #11 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Bugger. Have cancelled private tour & Azamazing evening is now onboard. Seville as a river entrance was the reason we did this cruise. Now we are not even going to see it! Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted June 3, 2016 #12 Share Posted June 3, 2016 It cannot be pod trouble quest has engines mounted inside with shaft driven propellers Ha - my husband's first reaction when I told him ;-) Hopefully it will be fixed soon so not much else in the itinerary needs to be changed!

firenz Posted June 4, 2016 #15 Share Posted June 4, 2016 We are booked on the Quest starting June 11 for the Baltic cruise. Can someone please update us on the condition of the ship? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 4, 2016 #16 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Update: shuttle buses have been set up to get us to Seville. Special "night in amazing places" will be on board☹️. Hi Zouave, Thank you for the updates. Whatever the issue is, we all hope it's not anything that will significantly affect your sailing. As Bonnie hasn't commented, I hope you will keep us updated. All the best to you, and everyone onboard Quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zouave Posted June 4, 2016 Author #17 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Update. Shuttle tickets will be given out at either 0800 or 0815 for trips to Siville. Two days FCC to be issued. Not sure if we ever want to sail Azamara again as this was the second mechanical problem we have encountered. And yes it was a propeller problem. Funny, was told props were pulled and serviced during April refit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haworth Posted June 4, 2016 #21 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Thanks. But the pain here is this was going to be Azamara's last trip up the river. CPT is bummed and so are we. To be able to sail up the the locks and now have to "bus up" is a bummer. Big bucks... No luck. We did an Azamara cruise in either October or November 2013 that finished in Seville, that was also " the last trip up the river" so all is not lost for a future cruise.

Dwtlion Posted June 4, 2016 #22 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Prop issues ( absent a tangled line, etc.) are not usually resolved by using divers. A short dry dock may be in Quest's future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I hope it's before we do our TA, I would prefer to do that with maximum engine capacity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyjoyce Posted June 4, 2016 #24 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Jackie, Quest is chartered for 3 weeks when we get off so they will definitely get us on our TA!! They have loads of time before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenz Posted June 4, 2016 #25 Share Posted June 4, 2016 We are on the next Quest cruise from Southampton to the Baltic. We are not part of a charter so I'm not sure if that is correct. If they were going to drydock, it seems like it would be between the end of the current cruise and the beginning of ours which leaves on June 11.
