Rare MistyRo76 Posted June 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Read on another group page that the Captain of the Paradise just announced that the ship had lost propulsion. They have power and are currently docked at Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted June 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Interesting. Wonder how the Captain noticed that they lost propulsion,,,if they're at the pier? In any case, I can think of worse places to be if indeed, they do have a propulsion problem.....;p "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hankwilliams123 Posted June 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Paradise is not docked. They are approx 5 to 10 miles from the port. People can see the port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums Hi I have never been in that sort of situation, but I would imagine if there were mechanical issues that they were working on, you would still be responsible to be on the ship at the scheduled departure time. I can't see how they would be willing to let you off the ship any more than they would let you off a plane if there were trying to fix a problem. While Cozumel is nice place to visit, a mechanical issues would still trap you on the ship. Has anybody been in a similar situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot recall having read of a ship that close stuck. The Dream was stuck once in st maarten but that was at the pier. The first report seemed to indicate it was at the pier. I am sure things are under control and everyone is safe. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted June 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hopefully, they can at least get the boat to port. If I was stranded at sea for days, missing out on ports, I'd be pretty frustrated. I could deal with an overnight Cozumel while they worked things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasong38501 Posted June 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The ship tracker I use shows her docked at the downtown pier instead of Puerta Maya. Isn't that unusual for her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NebraskaSatellite Posted June 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Looks like two other Carnival ships already at Puerta Maya (Triumph and Sensation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasGuy75219 Posted June 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Looks like two other Carnival ships already at Puerta Maya (Triumph and Sensation).With the recent addition to the pier, more than two ships can dock there.

poolreader Posted June 16, 2018 #16 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The bookings are available. Perhaps they are for you.

SkyMaster Posted June 16, 2018 #21 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Well, it sounds like the engineers at Carnival ran out of duct tape. LOL Hope none of this is serious, 'cause I love sailing Carnival, and "Paradise" in particular.... "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
