podgeandrodge Posted November 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) So, I was in a line for North Star this afternoon hoping to get a second trip in it when it got stuck for a half hour today at full height in the air, with 14 passengers inside giving them a much longer than anticipated ride!! They got it down eventually but then they couldn't get the door open for another 5 minutes! So passengers eventually out in good spirits but they think that North Star is finished for this cruise while they check it out. It's amazing though, I got to do it this morning before this problem!

DEIx15x8 Posted November 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2014 ...and that's why they have a required waiver. Wonder what the issue was. Hope it's back up and running by the inaugural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuryan Posted November 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Good thing no one had to poop.. Or did they? Omg! I hope not Sent from my iPhone using Forums Fun fact... Oasis class ships supposedly have a little portable toilet and pop up privacy tent stored behind the bar on Rising Tide for this precise reason. Haven't seen it but it is detailed within the bar's operations manual for what to do when it fails (and it has). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEFAN0001 Posted November 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Many were wondering what would happen if it got "stuck"...thanks for sharing. Good thing they got it resolved...otherwise arriving today would have been "interesting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CatsInMA Posted November 10, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I sure hope Royal opted for the extended warranty on this. :D There are other comments that come to mind, but I won't go there! Nothing about certain blue pills and being stuck for 4 hours... Nope, not from me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoosh21 Posted November 10, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 10, 2014 ...and that's why they have a required waiver. Wonder what the issue was. Hope it's back up and running by the inaugural. I don't know if it is true or not, but one of the passengers came by and said he was talking with engineers and a circuit board got burnt out. They had it working this morning as they did the sail by of the Statue of Liberty to show it off. I am glad that I was part of the first group that went on in Southampton. People later in the cruise were waiting up to 3+ hours to ride, and I think some still didnt get to go after waiting that long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heatherb1958 Posted November 14, 2014 #13 Share Posted November 14, 2014 North star also got stuck on 6th November just before I was due to go on after waiting in line for 2 hours:eek:. After it was finally restarted the operators did a 'maintenance' ride without passengers. Everything was fine and I had my turn, after waiting 2 hours I was prepared to take the risk:D.
