For the project was contracted Rolls-Royce Marine, initially for 6 ships plus optional another 3. The program's completion was scheduled before January 1, 2021. The project also includes all vessels to be upgraded with shore power capabilities. [links]
AIDAprima (2016) is one of the world's most technologically advanced cruise vessels. The ship rides on a cushion of air, thus reducing frictions and fuel consumption, The new technology is called MALS ("Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System"), allowing the liner to glide on an air bubbles carpet. here
It may sound like a fun science experiment, but these days no one has to stand on the bow of a ship and throw a knotted rope overboard. Modern cruise ships use GPS to monitor and control speed.
This is of course only true under ideal conditions. Depending on weather and other factors, it may take longer for the ship to cover 480 nautical miles. [links]
By the 17th century, the custom had evolved into a rope with knots at regular intervals. Sailors would throw a rope into the water and count the number of knots that passed the stern of the ship in a given time.

According to CruiseCritic.com, the Allure of the Seas has been dealing with a propulsion pod issue that caused the ship to sail at reduced speeds.
“As a result of the slower travel, we must modify 30+ itineraries. Since we had to change Allure's itineraries, some ports would now have more ships than originally planned,” the statement continued. “So, to ensure our guests have a wonderful time in each destination with less crowds, we've rearranged the order some of our other ships will be visiting some of our destinations.” [links]
Royal Caribbean has announced that over 30 cruise itineraries have been changed as a result of propulsion problems with the Allure of the Seas ship.
The slower rate of travel has forced Royal Caribbean to alter the vessel’s schedule, which has also forced itinerary changes for other ships, including Oasis of the Seas.
