The ship was reportedly late in departing for its seven day
cruise to Key West, Georgetown, Cozumel, and Castaway Cay. Local
TV contained a lead
story that the ship was held over and evacuated, as well as the
terminal, when dogs sniffed out a suspicious package addressed to a
crew member. The package turned out to contain repair parts for his
computer. The ship left that night and apparently kept to its original
itinerary.. |

From a passenger (posted at Disboards): While
doing the fireworks during the Pirates in the Caribbean deck party,
there was an emergency code red call to the rear of the boat. My
husband went to look and discovered that there was a misfire on the
fireworks and appeared to be a fire by Palo restaurant. I am trying to
find out more, and will post more later ... Here's what happened
with the fireworks -- about 1/4 of the way through one misfired
and hit the side of the ship.
The next one misfired and landed right next to palo's and started a
fire. That set off the fire sprinklers on deck 10 aft. Our assistant
server is part of the fire team. He said it was a HUGE mess because the
Captain sent everyone to the Pirate buffet instead of Palo's ...
The captain then sent everyone to
the right place and everything seems ok. All brunch's at Palo's today
were cancelled, but dinner's were ok. The were no reports
of injury.

A
crew member came down with German measles (rubella) during this cruise.
Rubella can cause birth defects in pregnant women, particularly
in the first trimester before many women are aware that they are
pregnant. Children under 15 months and people with suppressed
immune systems are also at high risk. Citing the
potential cost, the cruise industry in 1998 essentially ignored CDC
recommendations to administer rubella vaccine to all crew without
documented immunity.
