Really???? Another Carnival Ship (not the one from yesterday)
Carnival Legend is having propulsion. They will be missing todays port in order to get back to Tampa on time!!

- In the wake of an engine-room fire that crippled Carnival Triumph and a faulty generator that forced Carnival Dream to cut short and cancel cruises, yet another Carnival ship has been hit by a mechanical malfunction.
Carnival Legend reported problems yesterday with an Azipod propulsion unit -- controlling the ship's speed -- that has changed its current itinerary and left it limping towards port in Tampa at 14 knots (16 mph), according to passengers onboard.
Cruise Critic was tipped off to the ship's problems by multiple readers -- some of whom are onboard and others who have family on the ship.
Although Carnival has not responded to a request for information, Cruise Critic member Ryan Ruggiero passed on a statement from the line, which reads:
"Carnival Legend is experiencing a technical issue with one of the ship's Azipod units that is affecting the vessel's sailing speed. The ship's safety systems and hotel services are all functioning normally.
"The vessel made its scheduled call today in Mahogany Bay, Roatan, in addition to visiting Cozumel and Costa Maya earlier in the week. Because of the reduction in sailing speed, tomorrow's visit to Grand Cayman has been cancelled and the ship will proceed to its homeport of Tampa, where it is expected to arrive on Sunday as scheduled.
Guests on the current voyage will receive a $100 per person credit and a full refund on pre-purchased shore excursions for Grand Cayman. In addition, guests will receive 50 percent off a future Carnival cruise."
The 2,124-passenger Carnival Legend is returning from a 7-night Caribbean cruise that departed Tampa March 10.
