Eng23 Posted January 4, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I could barely read those posts. The post I could make out seems to be overly dramatic saying people were heading for the muster stations and that there was a panic due to post Concordia fears because there was a loss of power for only a few minutes.

REALLY.... You have got to be kidding.... CONSIDER THE SOURCE.... and act accordingly!! +1000000000000 Social media is great as long as you understand it's no different than the tabloids most of the time. Hence the reason I don't bother with sites like that. CC is about as close to social media as I get. Edited January 4, 2014 by lv2bcruzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserdudebobby8 Posted January 4, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I was just hoping someone from onboard would tell is if it was true or false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eng23 Posted January 4, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I was just hoping someone from onboard would tell is if it was true or false As the Oasis has sailed away already today on another voyage and no one has spoken up that was onboard, I would speculate that it was a non event or didn't happen.

Starry Eyes Posted January 4, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 4, 2014 interesting that somebody bother to tweet about a short outage. maybe even a localized, short outage. I was on a Celebrity cruise recently. while relaxing in a public area, the power went out (at least in that area). we saw some crew scurrying about, and a security guy volunteered some reassurance. so we kept reading by window light and the ship lights popped back on within ten minutes. i do not know how wide spread the outage might have been, as I did not bother to move. I did not tweet, or freak out, or even mention it at dinner. I considered it a nonevent. still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted January 4, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I can't read it no matter how much I try to magnify it. If you click on the image and magnify to 400%, you should be able to see the twitter account at least. It is a twitter feed from a competing board, started by a young poster who used to post here all the time. He was actually on the ship according to the posts and is now on Indy for an 8 day.

The person who started that probably had a light bulb burn out in their room or something. I've learned to take a lot of the negative stuff on here with a grain of salt :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree some people freak out more easily. it might be scary if all the power went out at night as one was climbing stairs or riding an elevator, but that could happen anywhere.

Exactly! She is back at sea, & I was just looking at the web cams, I can't believe it would have sailed out on time today if it was true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen, Sister! And, considering the OP is the same one who started the Freedom to Alaska thread, :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:.
