sbussert Posted August 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Yes, due to a propulsion problem, they changed the itinerary. We're sailing Sunday 9/3 and it affected our trip as well. Going to be fixed in January. Just got to go with the flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBTN Posted August 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Allure is down one propeller. Some itineraries have been changed - September 27th has swapped St Thomas for San Juan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezy270 Posted August 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Our September 3rd also lost St Kitts for San Juan and our day in St Thomas was switched to a day later some cruises in January were cancelled so Allure can go to dry dock to be repaired QUOTE=MikeBTN;53914843]Allure is down one propeller.

HallOfPromise Posted August 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I believe all Eastern Caribbean cruises on Allure have the changes until the problem is fixed in January. The Western Caribbean cruises are unchanged. This is from my understanding and as always, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic Ace Posted August 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 29, 2017 >Allure is down one propeller How many propellers there are? How the loss will affect for cruising speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 29, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2017 >Allure is down one propeller How many propellers there are? How the loss will affect for cruising speed? There are three azipods (motors with props). SOmeone reported they were limiting speed to around 17 knots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will sail slower, thus the itinerary changes for Eastern routes. Western port stops are so close together that there was no need for a change.

Sea_Salt_Sailor Posted August 29, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Allure is down one propeller. Some itineraries have been changed - September 27th has swapped St Thomas for San Juan. Not actually true... they still using all the propellers but in a reduce speed. Allure normally navigates at 17 to 20 knots, with the issue she is encountering they have reduced her speed to 13 to 14 knots, but all propellers are in use.
