The five day cruise ending today had some issues around a group of 450 alternative lifestyle passengers (swingers). There is debate about how disruptive the group was ... rather than detail the issues here, go to Cruise Critic if you'd like more information (from different perspectives). | Onboard disruptive behaviour |

Incident |
| 17.3.05 |
According
to a report filed with Cozumel's National Marine Park office, at 15:30
hours the Inspiration passed within a meter and a half (60") of a group
of 12 divers who were exploring the bottom of reef
Paraíso. According to the reports of dive masters
with Aqua Safari, the force of the
propellers raised sediment so that it was impossible to see the palm of
your
hand. This situation produced panic among the divers who feared for
their lives and risked
being sucked up into the enormous propellers. The incident is
being investigated. The ship's departure was delayed three
hours. (Put more simply, the dive shop explained the situation as
follows: The basic theme is the
Inspiration fell asleep and went broadside to the wind as the front
came in. It came close to broadsiding the Grand Princess at dock, GOT INTO the national park, and
put my divers into the waring blender. It is amazing no one was killed.) |
