My May 26 sailing has been mostly sold out except for some suites for a few weeks now I just went to check again and the site is not working for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a lot of those folks moved over to Allure. I'm on the May 19th sailing. Edited April 11, 2019 by rockmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 2013 Allure had this similar issue and limped along with modified port schedules for a few months. We were on Allure in 2013. The center “fixapod” was out of service. We had a modified itinerary. Allure goes in to be “amplified” early 2020. Would expect repairs then if possible to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallux Posted April 11, 2019 #41 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) For those suggesting there may be a cancellation for a dry dock repair, that will be a challenge. Apparently, the only facility in the Western hemisphere that can do any kind of "dry" repair on propulsion pods on a ship the size of Allure is Dry Dock 2 in Freeport. Yup, the same one that was involved in the incident with Oasis. There may be other facilities but the US Navy owns them and has them occupied with their own projects. Oasis is currently heading for the next closest option, Cadíz, and will be occupying that facility for a few weeks.

AL3XCruise Posted April 12, 2019 #42 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Based on whats been reported, it sounds like those on upcoming cruises shouldn't worry. One benefit of having three pods is that loosing one does not substantially reduce the cruising speed; the schedule adjustments that have been posted seem modest. 3 hours ago, rcclmiami said: The center “fixapod” was out of service. Allure has three azipods. Fixipods were on some older RCI ships. Though I suppose if the azimuthing broke, it could be operated as one! 3 hours ago, hallux said: For those suggesting there may be a cancellation for a dry dock repair, that will be a challenge. Apparently, the only facility in the Western hemisphere that can do any kind of "dry" repair on propulsion pods on a ship the size of Allure is Dry Dock 2 in Freeport. Plus, we don't know what is wrong, so it may be an issue that can be done without a dry dock. But I agree, it is likely they will wait if it requires several days and/or a dry dock. I imagine both RCI and most passengers would rather see 30 to 60 minute adjustments in port times than a cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have two upcoming sailings on her. Hoping for safe travels. You leave her in good shape with the remaining azipods working!! We embark on her when you disembark.

Luminated67 Posted April 12, 2019 #46 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) I've just checked our Itinerary for the 12th May and 19th May cruises and our times of arrival and departure at each stop hasn't changed. I can only assume that either they intend to sort this before then or on our cruises with these stops they are able to stick to the same time slots.

They should probably over schedule and then add some short ones in if it's done on time.

Sailawaybarb Posted April 13, 2019 #49 Share Posted April 13, 2019 we are on the Celebrity Silhouette right one and have been out of the loop. We are on the May 19th sailing. We had this happen in another cruise and they adjusted arrival and departure times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanoneaatl Posted April 16, 2019 #50 Share Posted April 16, 2019 On Allure now, western carrib itinerary- Nassau was today and we should be headed towards Cozumel for arrival there Wednesday but looking at the tv showing our track, trip in progress - we are literally tracing the exact route from Miami - I would expect our direction to be heading south- the speed is 20.1 kts - fingers crossed we are just routing to hug s.florida and keys on our way down to Coz?
