Seven Seas Mariner |
From a passenger:
I just returned from the
Mariner cruise Sydney to Auckland, November 15-30. Prior to my
boarding, passangers received a letter stating that the ship was
operating with only 60% propulsion due to problems with one of the
pods. As a result, two stops between Auckland and Los Angeles would be
eliminated. Three days into the portion of my cruise, one of the three
main forward elevators became inoperable and remained that way for six
days without explanation. Much grumbling.

Seven Seas Navigator |
Emergency services were assessing how to handle
a medical emergency aboard the ship Seven Seas Navigator after a
74-year-old American suffered a heart problem which could be a stroke or a blood clot. An air rescue is being considered and the ship, originally bound for the US from Europe, has been diverted to Bermuda to arrive on Saturday. It is not clear whether this will affect the arrival day/time in Port Everglades on Monday. |

A passenger reports that one of the ship's propulsion pods
experienced an electrical short and was subsequently shut down.
Rough weather prevented the technical crew from having access to the
pod to begin repairs and arrival in Whittier was delayed almost 24
hours. The following cruise (September 7 to Vancouver) had an
altered itinerary. |

Seven Seas Mariner |
The CDC reports that 1 of 551 passengers (.18%)
and 20 of 444 crew members (4.5%) reported ill during
the
February 12 - 24 cruise disembarking in Ft. Lauderdale. Illness
caused by salmonella. |
Illness |

Seven Seas Navigator |
A small
electrical fire broke out in the generator room at about 1 AM burning
some electrical
cables to the No. 2 generator and damaging the cables to the control
system of the No. 1 generator. The combined damage caused a
temporary blackout. Power was restored on a shaft generator from the
main engines so the ship is running at lower than normal speeds and is
expected back in Fort Lauderdale Tuesday evening, instead of Tuesday
morning. The following week-long cruise has been canceled.
According to passengers, efforts at compensation for the final
days' disappointments fell short of expectations. (Editor's note:
that experience is consistent with mine -- see Boycott Radisson message. |

Seven Seas Mariner |
Canceled Cabo an Lucas on several 7-day cruises to the
Mexican Riviera. The ship's propeller had been damaged in Alaska
five months before, forcing the ship to sail at a reduced speed.
Similar adjustments were made for future initineraries until the ship
is dry docked in December. |

Seven Seas Voyager |
The
ship was forced to drop anchor in the middle of Victoria
Harbour (Hong Kong) last week because no berths were
available. Passengers were reportedly upset because they wanted to get
to town by just walking off the ship instead of
having to be tendered ashore. The problem was caused because the
QE II had extended its port call from 2 nights to 3 nights. |
