Donoiv11 Posted July 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Does anyone know if Carnival will be offering tours of the new azipods? I am going to be on the 8/24 sailing and am somewhat interested in how they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question, how exactly do you plan on seeing the azimuthing propulsion pods, especially considering they are not viewable from inside the vessel, and you may only be able to see the motors themselves, if even granted access? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottacruises Posted July 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2019 No, you won't be able to see them on your sailing. Have a good time though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure - hence the question. All I know is they just added new azipods... and was wondering if there would be a tour available - similar to the kitchen/bridge tours. I am not an expert in maritime law, so I was not sure if they would be made available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to how you would see the azipods if a tour was granted. The actual units are in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Essiesmom Posted July 27, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2019 You will need full scuba gear and certification to see the azipods. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
