The ship "lost an engine" and had to skip today's scheduled
port cal at Nawiliwili (Kauai). The next day there was a total power
blackout while off Lahaina (Maui) with no AC ,
lights , elevators , toilets , water ,etc. These were gradually
restored over a 7 hour period . Public washrooms were locked and dining
rooms closed (no hot coffee after 7:45 AM ) . At noon they had a
cookout on the pool deck for both passengers and crew. Each passenger
got a free drink and a $50 per cabin shipboard credit. See

Passenger
report: Both ships (HAL's Veendam and N. Wind)were docked at
the
Cozumel pier stern to stern with approximately 20-30' between the 2
ships. A sudden breif storm with high wind
and rain came in around 7-7:30 and pushed the Veendam into the Wind.
The Wind seemed to have more damage than the Veendam. From
what we could see, the Veendam had damage to a window cleaning walkway.
The Wind had a nice size dent 15' wide in the stern at Deck 7/8
towards the port side. The floor on the deck was buckled where it
meets the stern. Also a section of pipe under deck 8 crimped.
Possibly related to the accident and to the crimped pipe, a
sprinker line burst
in the aft stairwell around the same time. Departure from Cozumel
was delayed by only 15 minutes and as far as we know, there were no
injuries.

A
couple aboard the ship reported observing whole beer
bottles, whole wine bottles, beer and pop cans, corks, plastic plates,
plastic utensils, plastic cups and organic material all being tossed
into the ocean from the back of the ship. The ship was between
Hawaii and Fanning Island. The company insists it did nothing illegal.
The incident is
being investigated by the US Coast Guard and EPA.
