Interesting stuff....

According to the complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Carnival seeks more than $100 million, claiming that Rolls-Royce defrauded Carnival into the "selection, acceptance and continued use" of the Mermaid pod propulsion system.

"The Mermaids are simply defective and do not function as it was represented that they would," the suit states. "Most importantly, it is now also clear that the defendants have known about this situation all along and that they have deliberately conspired to mislead, deceive and defraud Carnival into believing otherwise."

Not sure if these are the same azipods I'm thinking of but I believe I remember reading that the Spirit Class and Fantasy Class ships were constructed with these pods. The Conquest Class and the Splendor were constructed with the old fashioned turbine/rudder combination.

Only the last two of the Fantasy class (Elation & Paradise) have the pod system. The other six have a thruster and rudder system. I believe that there are other manufacturers of these pod systems besides Rolls Royce.
