At approximately 2:00 a.m. local time in Honolulu, HI (7:00 a.m. local time in Miami, FL) Oceania Cruises' M/S Regatta experienced a failure of its power generation plant. All guests and crew are safe and accounted for. The power plant has been restored and all guest services are fully functioning. The ship is currently making its way back to Honolulu to effect a technical assessment and the vessel's current ETA alongside in Honolulu is 1 p.m. local time. At the time of the power loss, the vessel was approximately 20 miles off the coasts of the island of Oahu. Image Courtesy of Oceania Cruises
Am on the ship. We have been in port for 54 hours so far with no word of progress of repairs or departure. Future ports of call are diminishing with every hour upon hour. Free drinks and shrimp towers are not placating the disappointment of passengers.
