It is hard to say. Maybe they have.

There have been no recent posts substantiating either yes or no with actual facts.

Instead of just assuming maybe someone with current info can post some details.

Not being a technician, I can't say.  I can say that I ended a cruise on the Island Princess a week ago and we arrived timely at all 7 scheduled ports.  If there were any problems, I wasn't aware of them on this sailing (and I had been following the problems before then, so I was attuned to the issue.)

We spent 2 days in San Francisco  on a west coast cruise, so the repairs could be made. Never was told if it was repaired or not.  Seemed fine, but we got off in LA

We’re sailing on her right now.  No suggestions of problems.  So far, we have hit every port on time.

Good to hear that they are making ports on time. We are heading out on Thursday on the 10 day Panama Canal Cruise and hope we can get to all of the ports.

Come join our roll call for October 17th. I’m assuming your screen name, you live in IL or went to U of I?

I was born and raised in Illinois - went to U of I (graduated in 1977) - and spent most of my adult life in the Chicago burbs and most of my youth in Springfield followed by 8 years in Champaign. We moved to Florida full time this past March after being snow birds for 4 years. Getting ready to retire next year and the cost of living is much lower down here.

I was born and raised in Chicago and we moved to Florida in 1993, best move ever. We don't even go back to visit anymore. 

As we all say down here, "another beautiful day in paradise".
