Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 18, 2023 Author #306 Share Posted July 18, 2023 A couple of points of interest before we head for dinner. First, the upgraded internet. I had read (or saw) online that the Pride was one of the first ships to get the new system. As I normally do, I get the premium package, we still have to do travel business while we travel and time, and the amount of it takes to handle issues and problems can sometimes be an issue. This has not been an issue. The speed is quite exceptional. At some point, I will do a speed test. The weather has been exceptional as well. Hope that does not throw a jinx on the remainder of the trip, but it has flat put amazing. The last is the seas. I was not sure what to expect, but again, pleasantly surprised. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 18, 2023 Author #307 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Kiel Germany is the busiest Locke system in the world. Completed in 1913 (the timing is not a coincidence) it allowed Germanys Navy to circumvent having to sail by Denmark and made the entry into WWI much easier. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legospice Posted July 18, 2023 #309 Share Posted July 18, 2023 @jimbo5544 How's things at the moment? Someone just posted in one of my groups for the July 30th sailing saying that his brother is on the ship now and it felt like it hit something? I hope he was wrong and you are all OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At dinner, def had the props do a hard bang and then continued heavy hard gyrations. We have turned back to Kiel. The Captain just came on an said there was a propulsion issue and they were assessing the situation. We were headed north east and now headed sw at about 7 knots. Typical azipod noises. Will check out the aft churn later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship map says 2.9 still headed in the directions of port back we used for Berlin. Party hardy atmosphere on ship. No word from Captain yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 19, 2023 Author #322 Share Posted July 19, 2023 It is currently 5:15 am. We have no propulsion (or at least not moving). Last night we only had the port engine and then vibrations appeared with that see pic) and shortly after that they ***** it down also. We are in calm seas. Nothing from the Captain after the first announcement. Expect an interesting morning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was following because I will be on the Pride in a month, but my concerns now are that you all are safe (sounds like you are) and are able to return home without too much drama. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
