My true belief is that the cigarette did not catch the ship on fire. They used that reason as a cover
up from a fire that began within the ship. Is what had to begin as a minor fire if a cigarette was the cause how did it get so out of hand?
I agree on the material used on the balcony chairs could burn easily. The fire went large without
being put out from what would begin as a minor fire. Home structural fires happen all of the time mainly from dropping a lit cigarette falling a sleep.
The ship was burnt far too much if it was as they say caused by a flicked cigarette.
It was just an excuse that the cruise line used to hide that it was a fault caused within
the ship it's self.
For U.S. Sailings only, U.S. Citizens may cruise using an official Birth Certificate and a supporting Government Issued Photo ID, like a driver’s license or an identity card. However, we highly recommend that all U.S. Citizen’s cruise with their U.S. Passport book that is valid at least 6 months.
