I Heard the Jade Had an Accident Yesterday......

[cruiseloverohio]

Anyone know any details?

[cruiseloverohio]

I heard that the ship's steering mechanism failed and the ship rolled to the side spilling passengers and everything else.......

Not the Dawn

Where did you hear about the accident? If it is true, I am sure someone that is on the Jade now will post soon.

[electricron]

You're post is the first about any problems with the Jade. So, we don't know if it's true or not.

I don't know but we just saw it down at the pier this afternoon (still labeled as PoAl) and it looked fine.

This isn't the same ship. The Jade used to be the Pride of Hawaii and has been in Europe since March.

Oops, you're right. I keep getting confused as they take the ships out of here. :(

 

PoA is going to become the Sky (again) soon.

if there was an accident we will see something about it from the industry sources(like sea trade) or from a cc on board. Given that the Dawn is having an issue, it may be that you just heard wrong. Where did you "hear" it.? If it was as you describe, it would be all over the news...and so far it isn't

I just checked the ships web cam and she is at sea she looks to be ok.

Everyone enjoy your cruises on her Les.

[MattyBarlow]

I dont think the webcam has updated. She should be in Rome today a long with the Gem but both cams are still dated as yesterday.

[harjoe]

Hi Matty

never thought to look at time & Date have you managed to find anything out about her.

Les.

Where exactly might one expect to hear this? :confused:

[marjrie]

I had a look back at the original posters previous posts, it seems they have a family member working on the Jade.

 

I am sure if this was true we would have seen some news somewhere?

[AFT_LOVER]

that is Pride of America, the surviving NCLA ship.

 

Pride of Hawaii aka Jade has new hull art, casino on 6th deck termed "largest at sea". Per Jamie, P OF A crew member who verified the changes to this European cruiser.

 

Pride of Aloha is Sky now and that is getting new hull art & casino, doing Bahamas I think.

She's in Naples now. It was a list but not considered serious.

if a ship burps it gets reported

What would really gripe me, is IF it had happened, it didn't happen while I was onboard darnit!:(

Hot Dang, we're headed to the airport for Barcelona today, to take a cruise on her!:D

Yes, I know. See posts #6 & 7. I just put my fingers in motion before engaging my brain. :o

[smeyer418]

False alarm. We would have heard something by now

The Pride of Aloha is not going to get new hull art when they re-flag it over to the Sky.

Maritimematters have now reported that Jade suffered a gyro-compass failure that led to a sharp turn to port and an 8 degree list which sent a buffet flying and the pools emptied. It happened at 9pm on the 12 May tween Venice & Naples. She was running at 22 knots when the problem occurred.

 

No injuries reported and she will be arriving as per schedule in Barcelona on the 17th.

Amazing no one was hurt - that would seem to be quite the list. I'm assuming the gyro-compass was repaired fairly quickly??

Quick question for you, I read that the POA was heading to Miami, from Hawaii on May 11th. Is it still in Hawaii today 5/16/08?

Looks like it - clearly not a sea headed to Miami

Maybe they doing some of the refurbishment work in Honolulu.

I expected the Sky to be at sea too.
