Time for a 12 day Scandinavian cruise out of Dover om the Carnival Pride

[Traveller94]

Thanks for the live posting. I have been following along to see what to expect when we embark the Pride on the 21st. If you hear anything about the next cruise, I would greatly appreciate the head up.

 

I hope you enjoy your unexpected sea day. Thanks again for all the time you have taken to post.

I’m onboard now and staying onboard for the next cruise.  I am disappointed about missing the port today, but 2 sea days in a row isn’t the worst thing.  However, I am extremely worried about the next cruise.   This morning it doesn’t feel like we are moving.  Oh well, nothing I can do except hope it gets fixed.   I’ll share any info I hear.

It feels that way because we are not moving.  Until we hear more, to guess on what the future holds is fruitless.  I am SURE we will get more information live from the Captain this morning, but it cannot be good.

Thanks to you both. I’ll be following along closely. I’m glad this only cancelled one stop for you.

I am quite sure it will be an interesting day.

The Captain just came on and said they are continuing  to work on the propulsion issues.   Basically restating the letter I posted above.  Interesting that there is no further news.  More to come.

its about 1450 kilometer to Dover. Max. speed is about 40kilometers... so it takes about 36hrs. Until fri 5am its from now 42hrs.

Thanks for the information - though it’s not very encouraging.  I’ll just keep hoping the issue gets fixed soon.

According to a german forum there is probably 1 tug heading to the Pride from Kiel. Sound like a larger issue.

Rutt ro.  As my friend Scooby Doo would say.

1pm, no update business as usual.

Wishing the engineering team good luck on fixing the propulsion issue.  Hope the Captain will update you soon.

Someone said on our Facebook page that they called “Otto’s Tug and Tow Services”.

I'm a bit surprised that there hasn't been more said onboard. But I suppose IF this turns out to be a major issue preventing the ship from returning to Dover than the logistics of dealing with thousands of passengers and even getting them back to London by air will be daunting.

She will go back to Kiel.

Since this company has more than 100 years of experience you should be safe 😄

Yup, not a lot of detail, but we are returning to Kiel this evening where they can work with ship and shore resources to fix the mechanical issue(s).

Sorry to hear this...

 

Aft corner for you guys I'm guessing? Always some vibrations back there as a baseline, can't imagine kicking that up a few notches !

Nope, we have two grand kids so couple balconies aft port side right in front of bowling alley cabin next to aft wrap.  Up to 12 knots the vibration has simmered down.

So much for me saying bye bye Germany…..😅
