On May 29, 2013, the "Ocean Majesty" reached its destination Kiel about
nine hours late as three of four locks of the Kiel Canal in Brunsbüttel
were malfunctioning so that several ships queued up waiting for the
passage.
The passengers which were to start their cruise in Kiel were cared for in the Norwegen Quay Terminal in the meantime, those who returned from a cruise partially spent the night in surrounding hotels before travelling home.
The ship finally docked in Kiel at 7 p.m. and sailed again at 11.30 p.m. in order to still reach the scheduled next destination Gdynia which was threatened to be left out.
Also the Kiel Canal of the cruise ship "Balmoral" was delayed by the same reason.
