Cunard (or maybe the british as it looked like a military style helo) airlifted military style generators to the QE2 when we were in the same situation off the coast of Spain. They set them up on the bow deck service area and all the johns and meal prep etc was back up and running within an hour of recieving the generators. Just saying I don't get the difference.[/QUOTE]

Carnival owns Cunard! Along with Holland America, Aida, Princess, and some more I forget for now. My lovely lady and I mostly sail on HAL and on smaller ships for longer cruises.

Was on MS Amsterdam on World Cruise in 2008 when other Carnival ship lost power. The people I spoke to acted like putting an APU could not be done.
