STATEMENT REGARDING WESTERDAM FIRE

 

 

 

June 28, 2014 Seattle, Wash. (7:30 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time) — There has been a small fire in one of the boiler rooms onboard ms Westerdam as she sailed from Seattle earlier this evening which was quickly extinguished. All guests and crew are safe. Out of an abundance of caution and in coordination with the United States Coast Guard the ship has returned to Seattle. The ship is fully operational and there has been no impact on guest services. It is anticipated that the ship will depart again once the assessments are competed and continue her voyage to Alaska.

 

The 82,348-ton Westerdam was beginning a 7-day Alaska cruise that departed Saturday afternoon. The situation is being evaluated and more information will be provided as it becomes available. There are 2,086 guests and 798 crew onboard. Further updates will be posted here: http://*******/UW9sGk.

I am relieved to hear there are no injuries and the ship is safely docked back in port. A whole lot better than what could have been.

Let's hope the damage is minor, can be repaired quickly and Westerdam will be able to sail soon.

 

Just let everyone aboard be safe.

Glad to hear all is well with Westerdam, crew and passengers.

I wonder why the links from the other posters are working?

Still sitting there....If the cruise is delayed more than a few hours - can they generally make it up on the way to Juneau?

That doesn't make sense. Why would they "not like" a link that provides updates to family members?

Anytime you see ********* in a link it's a banned site by CC..

montanagirlalways,

 

Thanks for posting the information and your updates.

 

Hope you hear more news soon.

Well, "they" are computer software which automatically filter out certain domains, likely to restrict advertising. So, "they" don't know that this link would be providing information to family members.

Thanks Hal PR Manager for keeping us informed. Ofcourse we were all concerned about the Westerdam, her crew and passengers. She is a favorite for many of us.
