MIAMI -- Propulsion
problems on the Carnival Glory have slowed the ship on its current
seven-day cruise.
The technical problem
with the Glorys starboard propulsion system is causing the vessel
to operate at reduced speeds.
Repair work, which
started during a call in Nassau, Bahamas, will not be completed in
time to maintain the Glorys original itinerary, and Carnival
replaced calls in St. Thomas and St. Maarten with calls in
Freeport, Bahamas, and Key West, Fla.
Passengers received a
$100 per person shipboard credit or were given the opportunity to
fly home from Nassau and receive a refund on the unused portion of
the cruise. Carnival said a couple dozen people took that
option.
