Cruise Ship Returns After Fire!!!
I would avoid this firetrap.
http://www.nbc6.net/travelgetaways/4106232/detail.html Cruise Ship Returns To South Fla. After Fire No Injuries Reported POSTED: 10:15 pm EST January 18, 2005 UPDATED: 10:26 am EST January 19, 2005 FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- What began as a small fire aboard a cruise ship may have turned into a bigger problem, not only for the passengers but the ship as well. The Radisson Seven Seas Navigator was supposed to return to South Florida on Tuesday morning. But 24 hours later, the passengers were still on board and many of them could have problems catching flights to go back home. The ship was heading back to Fort Lauderdale from the Turks and Caicos on Monday when a small electrical fire was reported on board, officials said. The cruise line said the ship experienced a one-hour blackout after the fire and passengers were taken to some of the indoor muster stations as a precaution. No injuries were reported. However, there were delays in getting back to South Florida and the ship didn't arrive until late Tuesday night. As a result, many of the passengers were still on board Wednesday morning. The next cruise that was supposed to set sail has been canceled. But cruise line officials said the Seven Seas Navigator will be back in service for the Jan. 25 cruise. In the meantime, the Seven Seas Navigator is also one of the ships slated to go to Jacksonville for the Super Bowl. Cruise officials said they will have the repairs made from the fire at that time. They also said they will give refunds or credits to people who were scheduled to go on the canceled cruise. Passengers who were stuck on board the ship received free drinks and phone calls to make their unplanned stay in South Florida a little more pleasant. |

Wine is complimentary at dinner on this ship and there are multiple complimentary cocktail parties. You are given an ample amount of liquor in your cabin at the beginning of your cruise.
