yogibear Posted March 16, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Have a wonderful time on the Elation. We get on board the Pride on the 31st of March. Not concerned about problems. Let us know if the Elation got the steering pod fixed. She was one of the latest to have Azipod problems like the Legend......Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyncoya Posted March 16, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2013 2 days for me and I can admit that I'm a little worried. I have no idea why...It's my 9th cruise. I know everything will be fine once I get a drink in my system. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hecandbec Posted March 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Everyone knows how much i love to cruise and that i have one coming up this summer. Perhaps my nonstop chatter about cruises has tipped them off that i am going carnival on my next one. If i had a dime for EVERY PERSON who says something along the lines of, "i hope you have better luck on your cruise than what has been going on lately" or "why did you choose carnival... don't you see they are terrible?" I would be a rich lady. And if i was a rich lady, i would use my money to go on more cruises!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travler27 Posted March 16, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Are you sure you will bre leaving on the Elation? I hear they are having steering problems with one of the Elation's pods now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wennfred Posted March 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Are you sure you will bre leaving on the Elation? I hear they are having steering problems with one of the Elation's pods now. Just read it on wiki but haven't found the actual report: On 9 March 2013, the Elation had to be pulled into port by a tug, after a steering malfunction during a cruise. The Carnival Elation also ran into problems last weekend with its Azipod units and had to be escorted back to port by a tugboat as it began its voyage from New Orleans last Saturday, Carnival officials said. In a statement, they said the Elation had “a minor issue with the steering function of one of its two Azipod units,” that both units were operational but “the steering function of one has been temporarily taken offline until it can be repaired. The ship is designed to be able to steer with only one Azipod unit, they said. http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-carnival-legend-stalled-20130315,0,7015757.story They are still booking for April 1st, so you should be good to go.

Sargent_Schultz Posted March 16, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Elation had no trouble making both ports last cruise. I was thoroughly impressed with my Feb 4 Elation cruise. Just missed being on the one that helped Triumph out some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSpartan Posted March 16, 2013 #14 Share Posted March 16, 2013 We are currently planning on a cruise for 6/22 (time off just got approved)...We had been looking at the great rates in Europe, but the flights are ridiculous....! Currently leaning towards the Oasis OTS, but if the prices on Carnival come down enough, I would have no problem booking the Breeze.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wennfred Posted March 16, 2013 #24 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks, Its been a while but had to return, the abuse and let downs were too much, glad to be back, hoping to get enough attention to get Cahill re-called and get Carnival back on its keel with the ways the Fun Ships used to be. Have a blast on your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfb4cruzing Posted March 16, 2013 #25 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Elation brought back by tug because of "minor issue". Is that like a car on the back of a tow truck because of "minor issue". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
