cruisegirl1 Posted August 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Another social media site had some comments regarding propulsion problems on the Grandeur. Has anyone heard anything or know anything about that? Thanks m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggylicious Posted August 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I just saw something on Facebook posted by someone onboard. They are arriving early to whatever port they are going to for repairs. They are down one engine and one propeller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Hudson Posted August 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2019 They should be heading to Baltimore. I leave on her tomorrow. Anxious to hear any information anyone has. Katherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Hudson Posted August 31, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I have checked Grandeur’s position online. She is very close to Baltimore rather than just entering the Chesapeake as she normally would be at this time. So something is up. Hope someone else can post some news.

The FB posts that I have seen said that she will get to Baltimore on Saturday. Apparently, this is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that Saturday was a day early with the next cruise scheduled for Sunday. But it's Friday & Saturday. CRAFT. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Hudson Posted August 31, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Hopefully repairs are made quickly. I have received no information from RCI so I am assuming all will be well. Fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted August 31, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Haven’t heard anything either. Is it possible that they returned a few hours early for a medical emergency? If there were propulsion problems wouldn’t that cause the ship to go slower and perhaps return late, rather than early. Can’t imagine that docking at 11 pm will assist in any repairs. Cam they get a maintenance crew out there at that hour? Was she on the 9 night Canada /New England run? We recently took that run and lost over 12 hours returning to Halifax because of a medical emergency. Even losing 12 hours, we arrived to Baltimore on time. I guess we'll find out later today.

Lady Hudson Posted August 31, 2019 #22 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Docked again in Baltimore. Captain Thor says “propulsion issues”. We are here until they figure it out. Should be an interesting trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecrazybmore Posted August 31, 2019 #23 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Still on a cruise and not at work! I'm sure people will be complaining, loudly, at guest services. I feel for those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to remember that the ship is a machine and machines do break down from time to time. I will update when I know something else.
