Royal Caribbean International president
and chief executive officer Adam Goldstein has
confirmed Allure of the Seas will enter early
drydock for maintenance work to correct an
unanticipated level of bearing wear in one of
the ship’s three propulsion motors.
Allure of the Seas operates well-long
departures to the Caribbean, with the early
work forcing the cancellation of one departure
on 23 Feb 2014.
Apologising for the unforeseen cancellation,
Goldstein said the decision to put the world’s
largest passenger cruise ship in for repair
work ahead of schedule was not taken lightly,
but that “it was very important to us that we
bring Allure back up to speed so that she could
continue to deliver the amazing cruise holidays
our guests expect”.
