Wilda Posted November 26, 2014 #27 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hoping this is not another azipod problem...? We missed a port last year and were late into another port due to lower speeds because of a problem with the azipod (whatever that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 26, 2014 #28 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hoping this is not another azipod problem...? We missed a port last year and were late into another port due to lower speeds because of a problem with the azipod (whatever that is). If it truly is a turbocharger problem as someone posted earlier today, then that is a totally different problem than the azipod problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjlabre Posted November 27, 2014 #29 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Here is my view. Not sure what is going on, but I think there is an axipod issue again. When I was wondering around, I noticed that it appeared only two azipod were running during the high speed leg. It did not appear there was any thrust from starboard side azipod. This was for two days I saw this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjlabre Posted November 27, 2014 #30 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I did see it in use leaving St. Thomas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will be leaving for Europe soon and I'm sure they need all 3 for the crossing Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was wondering around, I noticed that it appeared only two azipod were running during the high speed leg. It did not appear there was any thrust from starboard side azipod. This was for two days I saw this. We were on the Allure shortly after the Freeport Azipod repair and someone asked about a similar observation during the Captain's corner. The Captain responded that this was standard operating procedure. The Captain said that they typically only use 2 of the 3 Azipods and they rotate the usage maximize the life of the equipment. So perhaps there is an issue, but you may not be able to tell from the prop wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjlabre Posted November 28, 2014 #33 Share Posted November 28, 2014 So we just lest St Martin. two of the three azipods are running. Starboard side has not run full speed all week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinaky1114 Posted November 28, 2014 #34 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Also, on Allure this week. I have heard some whispers that it could be another azipod issue but can't confirm. It has been a great trip anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavennaM Posted November 29, 2014 #37 Share Posted November 29, 2014 How late were you when arriving to St. Thomas or St. Maarten? I am on Allure on 7th, so I am wondering should I make change to our tours timetables... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on Allure on 7th, so I am wondering should I make change to our tours timetables... I'm thinking the same thing! I'm cruising on Dec 14. This appears to be an ongoing issue which poses concerns for picking private excursions. Sent from my SCH-R830C using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poutanen Posted January 5, 2015 #44 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Any news on this from recent cruisers? Heading on the boat this Sunday! :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavennaM Posted January 6, 2015 #45 Share Posted January 6, 2015 We did B2B with Allure on December 7-21. No more vibration than usual and we were on Boardwalk cabin near aft. We talk with one of the staff member and he said that there is a problem with azipod and stabilizers as well, but that did not bothered us. Just little more motion than usual, when normally you don't feel motion on Allure at all. So nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laedw Posted January 6, 2015 #46 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hmm, something tells me that this problem won't be resolved until the ship dry docks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cabins are also aft, so was wondering how bad the vibrations were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavennaM Posted January 6, 2015 #48 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Definitely NOTHING to worry about. Vibration is not that bad and I was on board for 14 days. I usually get seasick very easily, but no problems on Oasis and Allure. Not on our previous cruises and not on this recent B2B. Enjoy your cruises, there is no reason to fix the problem before dry dock, because it really isn't that big deal. You might get little late to St. Thomas, but I think we were late just about an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually found last time on Allure we stayed in port for about 4 hours then got back on the boat early, so I don't mind getting to port late or having shorter port times. Must be nice being a Finn sailing on a Finnish boat, eh? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
