Best & Worst of Noordam 11 Day ex Barcelona 14 Aug

Want to expand on the fire????

3 AM alarm sounded, fire detected.

Every 5 minutes tha captain was informing on the situation.

About 15-20 minutes later the fire, which was ironically in the incinerator was extinguished.

I was a little bit worried as I didn't have any warm clothes, because we have put them all in our luggage sooner. We didn't have to leave our staterooms.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

They seem to have fires in the incinerators a lot. I've had it happen on a few cruises. I always thought that and incinerator was supposed to have fire in it:D

I guess they must be small. I'm thinking they were card table size for lack of a better word. I'd rather take clothes and since I only take one suitcase it makes it tough to keep to the 50 lbs for me.

 

I suggested to InnLady1 earlier that she take only half the clothes she thinks she needs, so she has decided to fill the extra space in her luggage with furniture.:D:D

Incinerator, laundry facility, elevator shaft, Lido kitchen, engine room: we've been through a few.

 

HAL does a very professional job of handling fires and informing pax and crew!

Yup, they are good about communications in these instances.
