We were on that cruise in January 2018. We, too, were notified of mechanical issues; they gave us shipboard credit since they changed one of the stops. The mechanical problems cause the ship to travel more slowly so hence the change in ports; it is also very expensive to fix. It is a very popular cruise with experienced cruisers who like the two-week cruise without returning to Florida after one week. I know people on the cruise in January who signed up for the same cruise next year.
