Cruise ship delayed due to propulsion issues
The 'Carnival Dream', nearing the end of a 14-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary, suffered a technical difficulty impacting her speed while in Philipsburg, St. Maarten, on Oct 27, 2024. As a result, the ship remained in port longer than planned to give the engineering team time to try to fix the issue. The vessel was supposed to depart at 4 p.m. LT, but stayed in the port until the early morning hours on Oct 28, delaying the port call on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, where it was due to arrive at 7 a.m., but didn’t reach the destination until 2:30 p.m. There, the engineers continued the work, but they may need some extra time to complete these. Passengers were asked to return to the vessel by 7 p.m., whnile the ship was originally supposed to set sail again at 4 p.m. After, the unspecified propulsion were fixed, there was no expected impact to the remainder of this cruise or to the subsequent voyage.
