There was a small fire in the laundry room (deck 1 and 2)
that was extinguished within an hour. Passengers were awakened by the
2:30 AM alert to crew, but there was no general call and passengers
were not asked to leave their rooms. Some passengers report seeing
thick smoke venting by the pool on deck 11. Apparently the only
inconvenience, after things were brought under control, was that linens
needed to be re-laundered to remove the smell of smoke.

From a passenger: Bravo,
Bravo, Bravo called during early
dinner seating -- area affected is deck 2 midship. The story
onboard was that one of the Platters tossed a lit cigarette into the
trash can thinking it was out. Smoke filled several cabins and the
automatic sprinklers came on. The captain came on the intercom three
times to explain what was going on and let the passengers know when it
was under control. No major damage reported, no injuries.
According to a poster at Cruise
Critic: The
staff and crew had everything under control in less than 20
minutes.
Seven staterooms had to be evacuated and people reassigned to other
rooms. The rooms mostly suffered water damage from the sprinkler
system. |
