Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Phone

[FAB1]

Just in case anyone has one, I have just seen this on the P&O website:-

 

Samsung has now withdrawn all of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones from sale globally after a spate of fires involving perceived safe replacements. In a statement issued late on Monday 10th October 2016, Samsung requested that consumers with original Note 7 devices or replacements obtained after the recall should turn off the power and seek a refund or exchange them for different phones.

 

In light of the above, P&O Cruises respectfully request passengers whom have the aforementioned affected phone not to bring onboard.

 

If you have not seen the Samsung request or have inadvertently brought your Galaxy Note 7 onboard we respectfully request that you power down your device and do not charge or use for the duration of your cruise.

It is suggested that the cabin safe security box is used for storage.

 

Whilst we emphasis and understand this is not ideal, safety is our priority and we therefore thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Not a strong enough response. Some idiot will use their phone anyway and set light to the ship :mad:

 

They should be confiscated on boarding and stored ashore until you disembark.

Just take it away from the idiot. Then at the next port of call. Invite the idiot to leave the ship and make their own way home.
