Carnival Dream Technical Issue

[rebelcruiser]

I’m currently on the Dream and we’re experiencing a technical issue that’s slowed us down quite a bit. The ship is skipping Progresso today in order to make Galveston Thursday morning on time. 

 

The staff has laid laid on many more activities for us to enjoy. A $50 credit has been applied to sail and sign accounts and any excursion booked through the ship have been refunded. We left Cozumel late last night about 730pm with no explanation given as to why. Now we know.

My friend onboard relayed the same info.  Enjoy your extra sea day.

I checked our speed and we’re barely making 12 knots.

Wow, thanks for the information.

Dream doesn't have azipods.

Following this thread for a friend that's supposed to leave on the Dream on Thursday. Does anyone know how major of a problem this is? Hopefully, it's a quick fix when it gets back to Galveston.

Well that goes to show you how much I know about big ships.

From my experience of Progrosso, you got a better deal.

That's not necessarily the top speed, just the speed needed to make it from Cozumel to Galveston for a normal arrival.  Figure they have the 6-8 hours that you would have been in port as extra steaming hours, so they don't have to go as fast.

[rebelcruiser]

I doubt it’s top speed as well. Just passing information along.   

 

I also agree $50 credit is a much better deal than stopping in Progresso!  I was planning on a quiet day onboard. Now it’s just a rowdier day onboard! No worries!

Ship was only due to get in to Galveston this morning, so, no, it would not have been fixed yet. Have to see what happens now in port.
