The down side is with once a day cabin cleaning you may be a little short of towels!

The video is showing the water. What about people losing balance, furniture sliding around, food displays in the Windjammer falling over, etc?

Xaa Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I was thinking the same thing @PG CruiserWould love to see how it impacted the upper deck. Maybe there will be some videos of that.

Xaa Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I know the thread says HAarmony, but @Lovetocruise2002is reporting from SY a turn around for a vessel and possibly an injury onboard. She references Oscar-Oscar-Oscar and then Alpha-Alpha-Alpha which i think is for an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 How in the heck can a ship this size turn fast enough to cause this? And as for a wave...you're talking about 200'+ off the water line on that deck! No way it was a wave and I find it hard to believe it could be from sharp turn. I wonder if it were a water pump of some sort to pool and it wasn't realized and just overfilled and flooded?

D Alt Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 When I was on Oasis, one of the water slides had a small leak coming from it that landed into Central Park. I'd love to say it adds to the ambience but in reality I bet some bolts needed tightening above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravisMA81 Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I'm on her in a few weeks. What are they going to do with all the plants that got hit with water? The chlorine will probably damage or kill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveHouse Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I agree that it's highly unlike a ship that size could turn sharply/quickly enough to spill a pool. But I did once flood a condo in Cancun by accidentally leaving the hot tub water running, LOL. (It filled from under water so you couldn't really tell.) Went to dinner, came back and shoes and sandals were floating around! Embarrassing, yes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was water splashing from the pool deck into Central Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I have a friend on HM right now. He said that it was the same situation as what happened to us today on SY. It was a rescue that cause the sharp turn. Also @mom2mybugsis on board HM right so maybe she can comment. According to my friend, what was reported in the article is not quite correct. asquared17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jus’ Say’n It sounds more plausible until you realize the flowrider is on the back of the ship and central park is midship. It seems to me it had to come from a pool, but wow!

Central Park and it's balconies are exposed to the elements all the time (including an occasional storm) so the water shouldn't damage anything. Maybe they had to do a mop up in the Park Cafe and some of the other shops. Central Park has drains throughout since it is exposed to the elements/rain, so it's unlikely there was any standing water for any period of time. If this was an interior space, then we could have problems! MarcBerger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
