For someone who can get claustrophobic at the drop of a hat, I feel bad for those people stuck on that ship. Yet another reason to not want to take a cruise anywhere!

SPAM AND POPTARTS?? Surely there was something slightly more nutritional available than that??!! :-?

I thought of friend of mine was on that ship. Thankfully I got a message from her daughter today that they were on a different ship, phew!

Did they throw all the fresh fruit and vegetables, cereal, bread, peanut butter overboard? Why didn't they just start the BBQ grills on the Lido deck and grill up all the meat they had when the refridgerators went out? I haven't seen that they were bringing in water/ice. Hopefully these folks are either drunk or getting there. I would demand the opening of the wine cellar. 8)

And SPAM when the toilets weren't working???? Who was in charge of that?

This Linda agrees with that Linda.
I wonder how many days they had on the ship with everything working before it all went to the handbasket ? No toilets ? :o I'd jump. Although somebody said they were working again. At least they get their money back. :-?

From what I understand the cruise started on Sunday and the fire happened at 6 am on Monday. The toilets weren't working for about 12 hours.......not good but not life threatening........probably just not "flushable".......you know......"end of a long tailgating concert day"........icky [smilie=nolikey.gif]

I just can't get past the Spam..... :roll:

The bars have re-opened (yay), and passengers are scheduled to get a full refund and a free cruise at a later date.

They currently have cold water (not hot)- using the generators for emergency equipment etc. So no a/c, no hot showers, cold food that people are probalby scrambling over like crazy, sounds pretty miserable. I hope they get back to the US quick!

Passengers scheduled for next week's cancelled cruise get a full refund and a 25% discount on a future cruise.

Well I'm the type of person that if I'm not having fun or enjoying the vibe I leave from where I'm at. You can't leave a ship when it's at sea. Well you can but.......
