Aquahound Posted February 10, 2009 #26 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was asked by Gina (Cruzaholic) to say what I knew about this since my office is at the Key West harbor. The Legend did visit yesterday on a scheduled stop, although it was not a usual port for them. Prior to entering KW harbor, the Legend reported problems with one azipod. I do not know the extent of the problem, but oil was being dispersed into the water as a result. The Captain of the Port ordered a boom placed around the ship to contain the spilled oil. The ship got underway as scheduled, but I do not know if the problem was completely fixed or not...or what the future plans are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SATXLady Posted February 10, 2009 #27 Share Posted February 10, 2009 ...since my office is at the Key West harbor. That sounds almost as good as being on a cruise. If you have to work, there are a lot of worse places to have to do it in besides Key West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujobie Posted February 10, 2009 #28 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The good news is the Legend isn't sick. The bad news is, for you people sailing next week, well... Just be careful where you sit.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted February 10, 2009 #29 Share Posted February 10, 2009 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. At the risk of being accused a thread hijacker, I gotta ask: what is that photo in your avatar? I ask because it looks very similar to a photo I took on Virgin Gorda a few years ago (below). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustFSU Posted February 11, 2009 #30 Share Posted February 11, 2009 A good website that someone posted a ong time ago that I go to every now and then http://www.cruisejunkie.com/events.html It shows nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujobie Posted February 11, 2009 #31 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I think it has been determined that it was, indeed, nothing.. Just like what the Legend cruisers are wearing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jack Daniels Posted February 11, 2009 #32 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I think it has been determined that it was, indeed, nothing.. Just like what the Legend cruisers are wearing.. That loud noise you heard was a big sigh of relief from the 2-15-09 Carnival Legend Roll Call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten where I took that one, but after I pulled the original, and it is neither Virgin Gorda, nor Iles des Saintes. That is on Saba looking down at the airport from Hell's Gate, at a nice little church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare broberts Posted February 12, 2009 #38 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The good news is the Legend isn't sick. Perhaps, perhaps not. I mentioned this thread over dinner with my parents last night and my mother mentioned seeing a Carnival ship in Grand Cayman that seemed to have problems holding station. This was the last week in Jan. The ship was Legend, so perhaps it's been having azipod issues for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyluver Posted February 20, 2009 #39 Share Posted February 20, 2009 anything new about the legend? hope its up and running!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeljohn Posted February 26, 2009 #40 Share Posted February 26, 2009 We were on the Legend when it stopped at Key West on 2/9. We did not notice any boom in the water when we departed the ship, nor was any announcement made about any problems. We docked at the outer mole pier, and had to ride trolley's out of the Naval Base. The Garden of Eden, the Key West clothing optional bar, did a fantastic amount of business that day.................:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
