FitzLA Posted September 25, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Small fires like this happen on almost every new ship build. No big deal. Pretty common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMoney Posted September 25, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2008 This made me think of the fire that occurred on Voyager when she was being built. I love how dramatic it is in the 3-part Voyager videotape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi's Mom Posted September 25, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 25, 2008 http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=2834 I would imagine that this type of fire "could" be possible on the building of any ship. So let all take a wiff around deck 9(I think they said deck 9) on the inagural voyage to see if we can smell it!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted September 25, 2008 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Fire on Oasis of the Seas Reports are indicating that a fire broke out earlier today on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas while under construction in Finland. Apparently, some insulation caught fire as a result of some nearby welding activity. All 1500 workers were evacuated and the fire was dealt with by the shipyard's fire fighters shortly after. The fire was able to spread from deck 9 to some upper decks but the damage is being described as not extensive. Hopefully this doesn't delay the launch of the ship. So far there has been no statement from Royal Caribbean. from http://cruisingnut.blogspot.com/2008/09/fire-on-oasis-of-seas.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it interesting that the article said "rare" and that even on the refit special we saw on the TV on our last cruise they had welding fires almost daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know already that your google skills are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
