The ship left Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>According to the statement, &#8220;All hotel services and propulsion were quickly restored and the ship is currently underway on its way back to its homeport.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carnival Ecstasy was expected to arrive in Port Canaveral between 8 and 8:30 this morning &#8212; an hour or more behind its scheduled 7 a.m. arrival time.<\/p>\n<p>The ship&#8217;s next voyage, a four-day cruise to the Bahamas, will depart from the port on time this afternoon, Carnival said.<\/p>\n<p>A Carnival spokesperson told Cruise Critic that the cause of the power outage was a mechanical failure that was repaired Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Ecstasy&#8217;s power outage occurred the same day Carnival announced a decision to invest more than $300 million into fleet-wide improvements. These include the installation of backup generators to better power hotel and guest services in case of a power outage at sea, and upgrading the existing fire suppression systems onboard.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #888888;\">By Jamey Bergman<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cruisecritic.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em><span style=\"color: #888888;\">CruiseCritic<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Carnival Ecstasy&#8217;s scheduled return to Port Canaveral was delayed due to a brief power failure at sea. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1579,1360,1580],"class_list":["post-34606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-travel","tag-carnival","tag-cruise-ships","tag-power-outage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34606\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
