More engine problems?

#1

Post by Not so ancient mariner »

A report appeared yesterday on Cruise Critic, suggesting that Oriana left Kusadasi running on only one engine. Does anybody have any further information?

I was on this cruise and Captain Cook made an announcement that No 1 engine had a slight problem so as they have 4 engines (2 Father and 2 Son) he had switched to the Son engine. We didn't notice any difference other than slightly more vibration in the Oriental Restaurant. No loss of power or change in itinerary. People not listening to the full facts

We did a whole cruise on Aurora during which one engine was in pieces for routine major maintenance. It's rare they need all four and given Oriana can do best part of 30 knots with all engines running she can certainly do most itineraries with one receiving attention.
