Anthem of the seas - engine issue

[Marga.Anders]

I keep reading on several sites that Anthem has an engine issue and is adjusting itineraries until June. 

How do repairs usually work? June seems like a long time. 

Should we anticipate changes for our September cruise as well?

That may have been speculation - last week's itinerary was "normal". She has a few more weeks left before her repo. The only itineraries that were affected are the ones which require long high speed runs - even if the issue is still there in September, if you don't have such an itinerary, there should be no changes.

I am on the transatlantic in October and was recently notified of changes in arrival times but only on the first two ports and no change on departure times.

On Anthem for 23rd June Mediterranean cruise and haven’t been notified of any changes to timings.

I am on Anthem May 28 France and Spain cruise and was notified of itinerary changes. It didn’t seem to be anything major, starting at one port an hour later and arriving at another port later than originally stated.

Not sure if the changes are related to engine issues, but the May 2023 TA port times are significantly different than the May 2022 TA port times.

Just off Anthem last Sunday.  No changs to itinerary.  Ship was sailing at 20 knots.

I have yet to be convinced that this is entirely about engine issues and not more to do with sailing slower to save fuel and thus money.
