Navigator power outage??

[createcolorfun]

Hello, we are on the navigator as i'm typing this and last night after our early dining we were on the starboard side and the ship started slowing way down. we got back to our cabin around 7:30 - 7:45 to change and all power went out. It was darker than dark in our cabin. we grabbed for our phones, put our shoes on grabbed our id and then the power came on. It was probably a couple of minutes. All i can remember the captain say was "the ship had a flat tire".

So today, while i was shopping in jamaica, my husband was on the pool deck mid morning and said they did 2 muster drills for the upper management. Hhhmmmm anyone else know what happened?

I always take a flashlight with me on my cruises. :D :D :D :D

There is a crew muster drill every week. Typically on a port day when fewer people are on the ship. Some weeks, there is more involved drilling involved. I wouldn't read too much into the boat drills that happened today.

I do too!!

My wife and I each carry a Tracker 2140 Flashlight at all times with us.

Good insurance as we have seen first hand how dark a Cruise Ship is without power.

We always take two of the flashlights shown in the shot below for emergencies and to use as a night light. It is compact, weighs 16 grams (just over 1/2 oz) and uses two lithium #2032 batteries which provides a long use time and the 5 LED bulbs provide a very bright light. I got them in a dollar store for $1 each including batteries. ;)

I think I will hunt for those tmw, ours are not that small and a bit heavier. Those look perfect. Thanks for the tip. Sailing Sunday.

If the lights go out does the card key still work to get in to your room?

I got these in a Dollar Tree store.

Yes as the door lock mechanism operates on battery power.

Great buy! You can't find 2032's that cheap! I'll pick a couple up tomorrow !

 

Thanks!

I'm curious if there have been any more issues with NOTS since the late September power outages? We leave next week and I'm curious to know if other have recently experienced this...thanks.

I was on the Navigator the week of Sept 27 and had no power issues.

Elevators are on the emergency generator, so in a power outage you would only stop for about 40 seconds while the generator came online.

 

Did the entire ship lose power? Very rare for this to happen, but if one engine room had a problem, the ship would slow down, and portions of the ship would go dark until power was transferred in a couple minutes.

My DH is always prepared.

 

Three flashlights, batteries, 3 smart phones with lights.

 

I bet I can start another thread with the stuff he brings in his suitcase and still makes it under the 50pound weight limit, and yes, he has never let me down.

 

Oh he has more than enough clothes to cruise in too.

 

Be safe
