Another Carnival cruise ship is facing technical difficulties, and this one is based out of Tampa.
A letter was sent to passengers regarding the itinerary plans which indicates the ship will be returning home early.
The Carnival Legend docked in Tampa about a month ago after helping it's sister ship the Triumph back to port. As passengers disembarked, they had a few stories to tell about their cruise.
In a statement late Thursday night, Vance Gulliksen said the ship was experiencing problems with its sailing speed.
Full statement from Carnival Cruise Line:
Carnival Legend is experiencing a technical issue with one of the ship’s Azipod units that is affecting the vessel’s sailing speed. The ship's safety systems and hotel services are all functioning normally.
The vessel made its scheduled call today in Mahogany Bay, Roatan, in addition to visiting Cozumel and Costa Maya earlier in the week. Because of the reduction in sailing speed, tomorrow's visit to Grand Cayman has been cancelled and the ship will proceed to its homeport of Tampa, where it is expected to arrive on Sunday as scheduled.
Guests on the current voyage will receive a $100 per person credit and a full refund on pre-purchased shore excursions for Grand Cayman. In addition, guests will receive 50 percent off a future Carnival cruise.
Carnival Legend is currently on the last leg of a seven-day Caribbean cruise that departed Tampa on Sunday, March 10.
