cocoaloco Posted May 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2017 :) But it could be worse. We are currently at 14 knots and almost to Cozumel. Will be a short stay - off the ship at noon and back on board at 5 then we head to Mobile with a sea day tomorrow. This seems to be another electronic control issue - trying to get all the propulsion parts to talk nicely with one another. I was on board three weeks ago when a similar issue occured and the techs got us back to top speed. Hopefully they will do the same in the next few hours. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaMomof4 Posted May 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Yes - hopefully! We leave on Saturday! Ugh! Hope it gets fixed today or tomorrow and she isn't late coming in to Mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaMomof4 Posted May 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Have they given you any information such as if it might be fixed soon? Really hoping this doesn't impact our cruise on Saturday and I hate it that they are cutting your Cozumel day short! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted May 4, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2017 That poor ship needs some TLC. Enjoy the rest of your cruise, and wishing you safe sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniceB Posted May 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Sorry you are experiencing this issue on your cruise. That is a very short time in Cozumel but better than no time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocoaloco Posted May 4, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted May 4, 2017 :cool: A few minutes ago the cruise director announced the technicians has made "some improvements" and we would be staying in Cozumel until 5:30 - our originally scheduled departure time.

thecoys Posted May 4, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 4, 2017 This old ship is Fabulous! They are doing a wonderful job keeping us informed of everything. On Tuesday they had to Evacuate a woman who had stroke like symptoms. Got us back on track an we still were scheduled for full stops at Progreso and Cozumel. Unfortunately the propulsion issue delayed our arrival but we still had a GREAT day today. Mikey the CD is awesome! Full of energy and really gets the party started. No doubt they will let us know if everything was fixed when we take off this evening. If you are cruising in the future you will have a blast! Go with the flow and enjoy your time away from work!!

cocoaloco Posted May 4, 2017 Author #18 Share Posted May 4, 2017 We just turned around after backing away from the dock in Cozumel. It has been a great day. Hopefully, the techs have us repaired so we can make full speed back to mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
