I don't know, but I disembarked on the 3rd. I'm glad they waited! ;)

Someone obviously forgot the let the extension cable out far enough and pulled the plug out on the mainland.

You were there, so you tell us. Didn't anyone on board mention anything? No announcement or anything? Did you ask?

Electrical outages are quite common on ships, just like they are in the city you live in. Sometimes it is cut off to restart/reset something else. Sometimes, there can be a small electrical fire. Who knows! I think I have been on 2-3 ships that had a brief electrical interruption.

 

LOL Another reason...it's all those #*%# extension cords and power strips that passengers insist they need.:D All you need is a small outlet adaptor (makes one outlet into 2 or 3 outlets) that cost less than $2.

Given all the recent posts about the power strips, you may be right!

I heard they caught someone attempting to smuggle booze on board.

 

Two words:

Electric Chair

:eek:

captain Q&A said it was controlled failure as in wrong switch hit or something

[SamFritz]

How long was the power out? That could be scary if it happened at night and at sea. Glad you were still safely moored.

I was on an NCL ship that lost power ... it was during the day and it was a beautiful sunny morning. It was great! We were hanging out on the top deck when it happened and it was very calm and peaceful just floating out on the ocean. Of course, the people stuck in the elevators would probably have a different tune to whistle.

Had the same thing happen on the Jewel. It was at night and lasted for two hours. The emergency lights in the hall way did come on. We drifted slightly off our coarse, but not far. The problem was with a generator. Some people extremely upset. We went back to sleep and only found out how long it lasted in the morning.

Do you think a rogue ship ran into a power utility pole? That's always good for apower outage.

[midnight sushi]

dock worker drove over and uppluged the ultra-long extension cord

[petercal]

I know what happened. Com Ed turned off the power on a "FTP" (failure to pay).

 

And you wondered why all the cutbacks.

 

:D:D

This happened 6 days ago? Why was there no news surrounding this? :eek: How long was the power out??

OK...someone already mentioned, but it was Mr/Mrs Smith in 7135 who plugged in their hot rollers, curling iron, clothes iron, steamer, cell phone charger, iPod charger, coffeemaker, waffle iron, crock pot, laptop computer, and blow dryer all at the same time---one cabin drawing about 300 amps of power......

[Slowboat2]

Naw, it was a disgruntled terminal porter who didn't get tipped, that pulled the plug ;).

5 to 10 min

Good idea...just make sure it's a rechargeable one, that way it can be plugged into the power strip along with every other household appliance known to man......J/K.....:D

 

I'm sure at some point people will begin bringing small microwave ovens on board so if they complain that their room service order is cold, they can simply nuke it in-cabin......Oops.....I can hear the gears turning from other CC members......I think I just gave a few people some ideas.....then we can begin smuggling microwave popcorn onboard.
