GTO-Girl Posted July 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2019 The ship was no longer blowing any smoke when it left Nassau. Evidently it wasn’t a big deal.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted July 29, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Boiler fuel/air mixture problem, or a stuck fuel pump on one engine. Neither one is a serious issue. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blarko Posted July 29, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Same thing happened when I was on the Dream several years ago, while we were docked in St. Maarten. It didn’t affect our departure or our cruising experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wms99 Posted July 29, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I once had a 1965 Mercedes 190Diesel that smoked like that. It ran just fine until it didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

u2harmony Posted July 31, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) I am on the Victory in a couple of weeks, and I admit, this smoke story scared me quite a bit. Thanks for the reassurances. 🙂 Edited July 31, 2019 by u2harmony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregD Posted August 1, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Also important to note that the Bahamas isn't an ECA (Emissions Controlled Area) so they're not running it through the scrubbers. [I see a certain someone on twitter is willfully ignoring that fact.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
