memoak Posted October 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Can anyone boarding today in Vancouver tell all of us what changes were made in dry dock and if the propulsion issues have been solved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davee01 Posted October 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I am on the crown in a couple weeks. Watching the track from drydock up to Vancouver, she seemed to be able to get some good speed going (20+ kts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yehootu Posted October 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2022 The Crown did have a high cruising speed for awhile from Portland to Vancouver so hopefully the bearing problem was fixed. I'd also like to know what else was done. I'm hoping TV's were installed on the walls and off the cabinet, gives extra storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingrob21 Posted October 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) I saw some pictures of an updates putting green - And new astroturf on the upper decks. I also read about some updates in the casino with at least new carpeting as well as elsewhere on the ship. I sailed on the crown in late september and she did not look like she needed a drydock - she was in very good shape.

PRNole47 Posted October 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) So far CruiseMapper shows her sailing out about 300 miles west from Vancouver enroute to Hawaii and holding speed between 20 and 22 kns. So, good sign that propulsion problems taken care of. Now, as to the reported aft vibrations some repirted before drydock, only those aboard and in the MDRs can tell us. I would think she wouldn't be scheduled on those 15-day Hawaii roundtrips in Nov and Dec from Vancouver and LA, plus the 28-days Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa from LA would have been possible with deficient propulsion.

I didn't notice any vibrations in the aft when I sailed in Sept. I ate most of my meals on the aft outdoor terrace of the Horizon Court and didn't feel much of anything back there, even when we were sailing at 20kn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you eat there? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougH Posted October 20, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Glad to hear her problems may have been fixed. I'm looking at some Alaska cruises next year but know she had problems this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted November 3, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Everything must have been okay. ELUA is back home and was very happy to be on the cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii. Made all the ports. In Victoria for the day and then on her way to LA. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made all the ports, including one unexpected stop at Victoria for a medical evacuation, but onward after that to Vancouver. Made all the ports in plenty of time, no lags in propulsion and it was a really wonderful first Hawaiian cruise of the season for us. Looking forward to the next one, 28 days out of LA to FP and back and then our "regular" 15 day runs. TD 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billco Posted November 4, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 4, 2022 We are on the Crown Princess now in an Aft Emerald Deck Minisuite in seas rough enough to make us miss our port visit to Astoria, Oregon. I don’t notice anything unusual from what one would expect for this weather. Vibrations from leaving port also seemed similar from what we have experienced. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSea Posted November 6, 2022 #18 Share Posted November 6, 2022 glad to hear all of the issues with vibrations and propulsion have been addressed. I am on a HI trip in Feb. Looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that roll call is dead as so many bailed on that sailing after the itinerary changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAvoyager Posted November 6, 2022 #23 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) When we sailed in June, we never really noticed the vibration until we went back to the Kids Club, or when we were at Sabatini’s. Dinner at Sabatini’s had me a bit worried about the structural integrity of the ship. Especially as we had dessert. 😀 IMG_3915.MOV Edited November 6, 2022 by WAvoyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fpsphil Posted November 6, 2022 #24 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Even our discovery cruise is January is impacted by 3Pm departure. Maybe dock worker issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is lively there are multiple ship's departing that day & they needed to stagger the sailings...our inner harbor is not very wide. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
