Rare LindaD22 Posted January 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Apparently, the pool on Harmony has massively overflowed, causing a waterfall and slight flooding. Reports vary as to cause, either because of hitting a massive wave or due to an evasive maneuver to avoid hitting a raft. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to someone currently on the Harmony, it was a sudden 180 degree turn to check out a small raft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted January 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2023 A hard run, right/left full rudder, and increase in speed is a standard maneuver for man overboard, or in this case approaching a lift raft. The idea is to keep the person(s)/object in sight of the bridge and to change course as rapidly as possible. I hope the chlorinated water from the pool did not do any damage to the live plants. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msuspartabigten Posted January 4, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 4, 2023 We're heading out on Wonder in about 6 weeks. I'm going to call my TA to see if I can get a waterfall view room, guessing they're all taken though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were on the Wonder of the Seas last March, we had the Hi-FOG system go off in the Promenade. There was water seeping out of the walls most of the week (can you say mold in your future). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, can we finally wear shorts in 150 because of the water there? No problem with shorts in 150, anytime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is true for most vessels, with a passenger ship, the typical man overboard procedure is to slow the ship down and then turn. A sharp, full helm turn at speed causes a lot of "turn induced heeling", which has been known to damage things on the ship (anything not bolted down) and cause significant injuries to guests. And, with today's ECDIS navigation systems, the need to keep a man overboard in sight is no longer as important. The navigation officer can poke a button on the ECDIS (electronic chart display) to mark the position at the time the sighting was made, and then the ship can return to that spot exactly, without the need for a sharp Williamson type turn. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Liljo22 Posted January 4, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I read the initial report that it was a massive wave that came over the top. That didn't make sense because that would be a huge wave. Someone on here that is on the ship said it was because of the raft in the water but it was empty.
