kangforpres Posted May 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2022 https://www.wesh.com/article/carnival-cruise-fire/40115680 I would think the rest of the cruise is cancelled and the Freedom will have to undergo emergency repairs at a nearby shipyard. Maybe Nassau? That's why they drill, fire out, ship saved, no injuries. -Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted May 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Photos that I saw on NBC NIghtly News minutes ago showed one wing of the funnel almost totally gone. But, I also saw the crew doing a good job in trying to put the fire out. Despite this negative news, CCL's stock price increased by 8+%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted May 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) I want to add that if anyone has been aboard and observed the fire drills that take place, one has to be impressed. I was aboard the Volendam when an actual fire took place in a crew member's cabin. The reaction of the crew and the Officers to the alarm was immediate! I was attending a reception in the Explorer's Lounge with the Captain, Hotel Manager, and Cruise Director in attendance. When the alarm sounded, I never saw men move as rapidly as these did to their posts. And, very quickly, the Staff Captain ran by the Lounge in route to the mid-ship's stairwell to reach the scene as the fire fighters were suiting up in view of all of us in the Lounge. It's very reassuring to me to know that the crews are well prepared as best they can be to deal with a fire onboard.

4966and556 Posted May 26, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Plus another ship hit something when it was docking in Jamaica. Another ship had pax sign NDAs after getting sick from fumes. It's been a busy day for 3 other lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, as I posted, both CCL's and RCI's stock price had a 8+% recovery today. Have not checked on NCLH's price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
