For flames to be that high up the funnel, the fire was in the funnel, not down lower like an engine room fire. There is little of a structural nature inside the funnel, which is why they can make them out of fiberglass. I have the feeling that the central portion of the funnel is steel, which is why the damage seems to stop abruptly where the wing attaches to the central funnel.

iria64 Posted May 26, 2022 #104 Share Posted May 26, 2022 If the ship is out of commission for any length of time they now have people to move to other ships, temporarily, to fill some staffing holes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the tops are interchangeable. Maybe with some high temp duct tape an artistic license they can improvise something. Could Imagination's funnel - apparently still intact on the beach at Aliaga - be used here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toad455 Posted May 26, 2022 #117 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I don't foresee the ship leaving Grand Turk anytime soon. Guests will likely be flown out of Turk and Caicos. Though due to the small size of the airport, guests may be stuck in Grand Turk for awhile. Curious if guests are allowed back on the ship as there aren't a ton of hotels right on Grand Turk.

My guess would be that Carnival is going to move as many passengers to that ship as possible as she is returning to the same Port Canaveral location that the Freedom was supposed to return to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a problem with that. Mardi Gras, like every other ship, was designed for a certain number of people. You can't crowd two ships worth of people on to Mardi Gras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toad455 Posted May 26, 2022 #123 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I'd assume crew would also join the Mardi Gras then? But can they actually fit that many more passengers onto another ship? Seems doubtful. When is the Mardi Gras set to return to Port Canaveral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think for each class it should be the exact same. I have a picture of Sunshine and Freedom's funnels next to each other so I'll try to find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted May 26, 2022 #125 Share Posted May 26, 2022 But you can add enough people to bring it up to max capacity, hopefully some of those without passports who cannot easily fly back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
