TwoPointDoe Posted March 19, 2006 #51 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Just got off the phone with Carnival, they said (as posted) that they will start embarking at around 8:00PM and will probably set sail around midnight. She said that there was a problem with one of the propellors causing the ship not to be able to go at normal speed. She assured me that the problem was fixed and it would not interupt any other sailings. GAWD I HOPE SHE'S RIGHT!!!! TwoPointDoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampasgrumpy Posted March 19, 2006 #58 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Rumours abound! It would appear the problem could be anything from a rudder, to a propeller, to a broken leg (a passenger, not the ship). The rudder jammed, the propeller hit it, a piece broke off and flew into a passenger's leg and broke it. OK...I admit it...I made that up..but I bet I could sell that story to the National Cruise Enquirer!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted March 19, 2006 #59 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Maybe they located the couple that went missing last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorothyl Posted March 19, 2006 Author #60 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Lucky you. It is due to be freezing here all week. The saying here is Buffalo must have opened the door and the cold air is blowing in. My husband and I debated between a Carnival cruise out of NYC or a trip to Vegas in April, went with 5 days in Vegas( he had never been, I have for work) but it is not that warm there right now either. Am definately booking cruise for late this year early next either with Carnival or NCL. Our family has let us know that they will not be home until at least late Tuesday night or Wednesday as there is trouble getting flights out and accomodating all. Again, I will repeat, there are far worse situations to be in. They are safe, had a good time until this and they are all safe and in sunny San Juan for a couple more days. Will let you know when they actually phone tonight once they are off the ship as to what is going on and how Carnival covered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic from vic Posted March 19, 2006 #61 Share Posted March 19, 2006 It's a beautiful sunny day and here I am on the computer waiting for news! All we can do is keep watching and keep hoping all is okay. It's two weeks out for us yet - I have faith! I can only hope that if it breaks down again, it's AFTER we're ON it. I could use a couple extra days either floating around at sea or in SJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mginsb8256 Posted March 19, 2006 #62 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hi all, Booked for the Destiny for August 27th, so naturally, was a bit curious about this latest bit of news. Anyway, for the last day or so, I have been trying to get into the Carnval site, (Its currently 3:40pm on Sunday, on the east coast) but the site says its own for maintenance. Is everyone else getting this message as well? Thanks Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack109 Posted March 19, 2006 #63 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Nope, just checked Carnival's site and everything is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbgolfer Posted March 19, 2006 #64 Share Posted March 19, 2006 We are waiting by the keyboard as well. We sail on the Destiny in three weeks. Have had the same problem with the Carnival site today as well. Was considering looking at excursions to compare to what I have booked on my own. Site has been down since this morning.

Knights on the Beach Posted March 19, 2006 #71 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Mginsb8256, did you try clearing out your cookies? Sounds like your computer is picking up a screen you hit earlier and keeps hitting the same place. I'm not having any problems with the Carnival site at all. Derf, as much as I love Carnival, I have to say communication is not one of their strong points! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbgolfer Posted March 19, 2006 #72 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Okay, got into my reservation. Thanks. Just need to decide what to do in St. Thomas. I wonder what information the folks arriving to the port to sail today have received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mginsb8256 Posted March 19, 2006 #73 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Cruisemom.. Great minds think alike! Just finished clearing my footprints on AOL, and got to the Carnival page fine. Thanks for all your input my cruisecriting buddies. Now to the much more important matter at hand, the Desity's Desitny! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

cruisinbuddy Posted March 19, 2006 #74 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Personaly I wouldn't care about arriving late at home port. I would however HATE missing my cruise. However they've done this before and I'd be surprised if they missed more than one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
