HAL_PR Posted June 29, 2014 #29 Share Posted June 29, 2014 STATEMENT REGARDING WESTERDAM FIRE June 28, 2014 Seattle, Wash. (7:30 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time) — There has been a small fire in one of the boiler rooms onboard ms Westerdam as she sailed from Seattle earlier this evening which was quickly extinguished. All guests and crew are safe. Out of an abundance of caution and in coordination with the United States Coast Guard the ship has returned to Seattle. The ship is fully operational and there has been no impact on guest services. It is anticipated that the ship will depart again once the assessments are competed and continue her voyage to Alaska. The 82,348-ton Westerdam was beginning a 7-day Alaska cruise that departed Saturday afternoon. The situation is being evaluated and more information will be provided as it becomes available. There are 2,086 guests and 798 crew onboard. Further updates will be posted here: http://*******/UW9sGk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted June 29, 2014 #31 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I am relieved to hear there are no injuries and the ship is safely docked back in port. A whole lot better than what could have been. Let's hope the damage is minor, can be repaired quickly and Westerdam will be able to sail soon. Just let everyone aboard be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocheewah Posted June 29, 2014 #36 Share Posted June 29, 2014 That doesn't make sense. Why would they "not like" a link that provides updates to family members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact07 Posted June 29, 2014 #39 Share Posted June 29, 2014 That doesn't make sense. Why would they "not like" a link that provides updates to family members? Well, "they" are computer software which automatically filter out certain domains, likely to restrict advertising. So, "they" don't know that this link would be providing information to family members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
