I wonder if trading standards would be interested if a UK resident booked a cruise and then complained when they found out about the condition of the ships engines and for how long the problem has lasted !

Their brochures and web site show the ship as having a cruising speed of 18 knots which has been wrong for about six months so the details they are publishing are incorrect !

As Norman has mentioned, there must be a big strain on her remaining engines as from yesterdays speed of 15 knots it appears she must be running at a speed near to her present maximum which could cause damage to her other engines !

Roger Allard seems to have the most connection to VoD...

Oh and no mention of VoD problems are on the All Leisure website either.
