Oriana

[so,ton saint]

phone call from work come in at 10am the ORIANA has lost a engine wont be in till 11am :eek:

That's careless. After all, ship's engines are quite large.

 

Have they looked around very carefully? It should be somewhere…

Hope it is ok for 2 weeks time:eek:

We are due onboard tomorrow, and had a text saying to delay our arrival by two hours and latest check in now 4.30pm - a bit strange really as our original check in was 2.45pm! Also said Oriana now due out 5.30pm.

 

If she is not due in S'ton until 11am, that sounds a bit optimistic to me. Any comments?

It's always in the last place you look.

Tring,

 

She is now doing 19knts down the North Sea but at that speed she still would not get to Southampton until between 8 and 9. But she cannot do that speed all the time. Problem cannot be that bad.

My sister just called. Should be back in the afternoon. They were eating lunch and the crockery and cutlery rattled on the tables. No explanation as to exact engine problem

[tring]

Thanks for the info.

 

I expect we will be in for a long wait at the terminal.

[Indy_Girl46]

Yes, my parents rang about this too as they are currently on the Oriana. They are due back at 11am tomorrow.

[Scriv]

Get well soon Oriana. We love you.

[Mysticalmother]

Marine traffic is currently showing her ETA as 0830 , so hopefully she won't be too late.

Looks like she is on her way down Southampton Water. She seems to have left about 8.30pm :)

Just spotted that too - looks as though engine issues resolved. Hope they get clear skies and plain sailing from now on.

I must have missed this but have they changed the dates on this cruise. In the brochure is says the changeover is the 19th and going straight to Stavanger. Was the change for the eclipse?

 

Confused me last night when she turned right instead of lef. :) :)

Just looked up the eclipse and all is clear. But on that morning it will be a bit dark. It will be seen fully in the Faroe Isles.
