Anyone know what happened on the Legend this week?

[nancyfancy40]

My friends just got off the ship and said they had excitement of the ship last night. They said they were at dinner, heard a loud bang and then the ship started listing. :eek:

 

All I hope is it was random and does not affect our cruise next week, I would not be a happy camper.

Heard it was an apezoid malfunction that was quickly repaired.

Now, this depends, as the apezoid is controlled by the framistat. It could have been a framistat malfuction that affected the apezoid. Framistats rarely fail, and they may not have a spare on board.;)

Not sure what a framistat is...? Just got the info from an onboard crew member...

Ummmm you lost me at bang :D:eek:

Do you mean the Azipod???? That is part of the propulsion and steering system of a ship

I suspect the "list" was "turn-induced heeling", where the ship leans away from a sharp turn when travelling at speed. If one pod stopped, this would cause drag on that side, causing the ship to start turning.

 

And lou, was probably gerfingerpokin that caused the framistat to fail.

Thanks for the quick reply. Glad to hear it was something simple. Of course the rough see junkie I am, I would have been yelling with my arms up, WEE, WEE.

I learn so much from your posts, thank you. Does a pod just stop or does the bridge get some type of warning before hand? Luckily, I have never been on a ship that listed or turned hard.

Is a framistat like a muffler bearing?

Gerfingerpokin.... I'm still chuckling over that one.:D

Lou and cheng, this marine engineer's mom thanks you for putting a smile on my face tonight!:D

It just stops, no warnings.

I think the root cause of the problem was probably a bent spungamunger...

[loubetti]

LOL!!

 

Well, chengkp75, glad you have a sense of humor. You need it around here!

 

Maybe they had Rube Goldberg come up with a solution to the problem?

You know, you might be right, and the bent spungamunger caused the Berengaria bearing to fail, thus making the apezoid tilt to become greater than normal on it's lateral axis.

 

My gosh, I'm surprised the ship didn't capsize! ;)

[evandbob]

And I thought the whatchamacallit opposite the geezix was the culprit. Dang!

[firemanbobswife]

Maybe they hit a deer.

Ok I laughed all the way through this thread and then I lost it when I read this! :D ROFL

This whole thread is a hilarious endeavor of dueling male minds. Enough said. Unless another guy wants to weigh in and entertain us further. Lol.
