Buckimion Posted February 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2018 On the Triumph in Progreso and departure has been delayed 3 hours and counting. The Captain announced about an hour after our scheduled departure that repairs were being made and we still expect to arrive back in New Orleans on time. Rumor mill says propulsion system again.

lady_cruiser Posted February 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I called AAA and was told the Captain forgot to renewerw his membership. <smiling face> We were on her the week of January 15th and the only problems we has our cabin was too cold so we got on a chair and shut the vent. Problem solved. Second problem was that one night it was so rocky that they cancelled the Magic Show. So we left the theater and went to the casino. Problem solved again.

Brad1972 Posted February 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Sooooo you might have to limp back to port and get an extended day or 2 vacation on a cruise ship? Bummer. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted February 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 2, 2018 and this is why we always get trip insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreCruiser Posted February 2, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 2, 2018 The Triumph is starting to resemble the problems that the Destiny (also known as the "Death Star" totally unofficially) had before the major dry dock that turned her into the Sunshine. I like the Sunshine, though it has some shortcomings, it is so much better than the Destiny was. A change like that would be good for the Triumph.

Buckimion Posted February 2, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted February 2, 2018 A new update from the Captain says repairs are still in progress and we'll set sail as soon as possible. He'll update us on our arrival status in the morning which doesn't sound hopeful for on-time. (Not that we're in a hurry. We booked three extra days in New Orleans but I'd gladly trade ship days for the hotel.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviela Posted February 2, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 2, 2018 A little delay is nothing, unless they go door to door passing out paddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad1972 Posted February 2, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Looks like they got under way about 6 hours ago and appear to running at full speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckimion Posted February 2, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Will the ship arrive on time tomorrow? Nothing has been announced yet but ship's time is only 8:25am. :hot-beverage: They'll probably get us an update around noon or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckimion Posted February 2, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Still near top speed and it looks like we'll be entering the river only about an hour later than normal. Tomorrow should go as scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted February 3, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Please say it ain't so! We are one her in 15 days. I don't care if she breaks down while I'm on her (hey, I've camped in the rough before;p). I just really, really, need a cruise. (Yes, I do have trip insurance but I need sunshine!)
