Holiday's Troubles

[yayae2]

Does anyone know if The Holiday got its engine problems corrected?

[bqkali]

I don't know for sure, but I'm assuming the problems will be corrected when the Holiday is in dry dock Feb. 28-March 8.

engines are fine. the problem lies within the starboard side drive that runs the prop. Some parts were put in in Cozumel, but it did not fix the problem. We were on the January 31 cruise and the ship could only run at 1/2 speed. The starboard drive was run very briefly when we left Coz, but then shut down again.

 

We had fun anyway..........................:)

The news tonight is that the repairs are almost complete with some final work to be finished up while in Coz.

I'm booked on her the last week of April, so hopefully all this will be a distant memory by then?

Dunno, but she was about 2 hours late getting in this morning. On the positive side, she departed this afternoon at 4 PM sharp, right on schedule!

and "go sailing"..I'm good...I have the last cruze b4 drydock..plus 6 more for the year. as well as the last one b4..going, going gone:(.I love that old boat!;)

Today I called Carnival was told that she will go into dry dock and this propulsion issue will be remedied.

Since I don't leave until 25 April, by then all will be well. As Shakespeare once wrote " Much Ado About Nothing".

Unfortunately, yaya & I sail on the sailing immediately BEFORE she goes into dry dock!

It should all work out for you. The lady on the phone said that people will still get their cruise, only the ship is travel slower.

LOL! Cruzman we must have a similar commute! I noticed her still in the channel as I crossed the bay on my way to work that morning. Usually she's already docked at the cruise terminal when I'm on my way to work. It didn't appear to have affected her departure time, she was already out of sight by the time I headed home ~5:45pm.

A somewhat off topic question...

 

Were you doing the trivia thing out by the pool on the last morning of the 1-31 cruise and won a ship on a stick and the brit guy with very little hair called you by name?
