Cruzaholic41 Posted February 10, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Today, the Legend was ordered in to Key West due to a faulty azipod. The azipod was leaking oil into the water and was ordered into port by the Captain of the Port. She is moored in Key West with a boom around her. I'm not sure of repair times or extent, but next week's cruisers may want to keep an eye on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your cruise is cancelled, as it probably would be in this situation, if this is true, you would be refunded in full. Think positively. Or pray.

Slimpickins Posted February 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Only thing google comes up with about this incident is from cruise critic. Either it not hit the news media yet or the op was mistaken. If the op had links for this he/she would have come back by now. I would think that its not true. Time will tell.

Slimpickins Posted February 10, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2009 No Carnival ship on the Mallory square cam where it looks like ship might port at key west. No cam at Truman Annex or the closed US Naval Base on the outskirts of town. These are the three places ship dock while in port. So if its in Key West, it would have to be at one of the last 2 because its not at Mallory Square.

stlrboo Posted February 10, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Suppose if I had to be stranded in any port, Key West would be 'on the top of my list'!!:p Hope it's just a joke, tho'.... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted February 10, 2009 #10 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Why would Legend have been near Key West? It doesn't crusie down that way at all. If it is there, it is a major problem and it is going to take an immediate dry dock to fix. Something makes me think that it is not Legend but some other ship.

But hey, we all been bored at some point:). Hey, if you stuck at this port or need to leave for what ever reason, you wont need a PP :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they were near by it when the leak started????? I have no idea about the itin. of any Carnival ship except the one I will be on in May :D. It seems to leave from Tampa, then head west. Doesnt seem that Key West would even be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes from Tampa to Grand Cayman, then toward Mexico, Belize and Honduras, then back to Tampa (I only know because we did this one last summer and are booked again this summer.) Key West is a big detour, but stranger things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzaholic41 Posted February 10, 2009 Author #19 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Sorry I didn't follow up....as you can see by my post count, I do not spend a whole lot of time posting on CC. This was not in an article. I am in Key West this week and thought it was odd that the Legend was pulling in yesterday at 9:00. It is not a ship I normally see here. I was further confused when I saw the boom around the ship. My son works for the Coast Guard in Key West, and he gave me the scoop on the unscheduled stop. Apparently, they were able to fix the problem by sunset and the ship went on it's way. And yes, Carnival Freedom was also here, as was the Veendam.

Dr. Jack Daniels Posted February 10, 2009 #20 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The Carnival Legend was scheduled to vist Key West. It was a change in the itinerary for this week only. The ship was chartered as a nude cruise this week so perhaps Key West was a port of interest for this group. I am sure of this as we have folks we know on the Legend right now. Have not spoke to them but I know they were scheduled to visit Key West this week. Regards, Dr. Jack p.s. I also called Carnival and thes told me there was no itinerary change for next week for the Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jack, I wonder what those nekkid folks could have thrown in the water to require a boom around her? :eek::D Some ports restrict cleaning of ship's exterior while in port. Perhaps Key West is one such port and the boom may be an additional requirement if cleaning is required? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
