Sky Wonder - temporary power loss off Punta del Este, Feb 20, 2008
Quote:
A failure in the steam system left the ship with no electric power -- it took place 10km far from Punta Del Este.
The lack of energy left a lot of passengers worried. According to CVC, no one was hurt, despite the turmoil.
By morning the crew brought passengers on tenders ashore and the ship was pushed to the local port for repairs.
At the end of the afternoon, when passengers returned to the ship from tours, the problem was solved and the trip resumed.
