Wonder Propulsion Issues

[Snowwhyt]

This is the Wonder, not the Magic.

I fixed it. I intended to put the Wonder but my last cruise was on the Magic and the next cruise will be on the Magic so I guess I had Magic on the mind.

It’s kind of like when I’m upset at somebody and I called them by my husbands name. My daughter REALLY get mad at me when I do that.

But looks like it worked like I thought it would. They boarded and rolled out late. Good for them but bummer to go under that cool bridge in the dark. But maybe it’s lit up nice????

Wonder is finally on the move at 9:55pm Vancouver time.

Might be bad fuel since two ships have the same problem. The international Maritime Organization started implementing a 0.5% cap on sulfer in marine fuels in 2020. I think older ships have to make an allowance for the new 'blend'.

Every time they take on fuel they add a fuel additive to the tanks to prevent any issues related to the low viscosity of straight diesel. The wonder takes its fuel in Vancouver while the Westerdam takes hers in Seattle so its unlikely to be a bad batch of fuel.



One of the props on the Wonder got hit by ice and damaged, the prop has had two blades chopped off. This may have happened to the Westerdam too

First the Norwegian Sun, Now these two. Maybe an increase in ice amounts without so many ships sailing in Alaska in 2020/2021? Wonder if this had anything to do with the Quantum of the Seas issues...

Do you know that for fact it was a piece of ice?

Does anyone know where the ship currently is? Cruise ship tracker is still showing it off the north tip of Vancouver Island but looks like the time stamp is around midnight.

I'm seeing the same thing with current time stamps though.

Cruise Tracker and Marine Traffic both show her cruising at 20 knts which is about normal since 21.5 is listed as cruising speed.
