joetrizeo Posted December 4, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 4, 2014 In-laws on that ship. Got a message, said there's a fire and they're evacuating the cabins (mustering I guess) That's all right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F27TW Posted December 5, 2014 #13 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Being on a ship that's on fire ... and being off the west coast of Mexico ... with the Mexican "authorities" as your only hope for help .... THAT IS MUCHO SCARY. Edited December 5, 2014 by F27TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted December 5, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 5, 2014 The site you got the location map you showed typically only gives the scheduled and not the actual position of ship thus might not give an accurate position especially if there has been an issue onboard. This the case for this map as indicated by the checked box. To get the live location you need to do a vessel name search on a web site that shows live or current actual locations like http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/home?centerx=30¢ery=25&zoom=2&level1=140 It shows that Legend currently is about 80 km or 50 miles due west of Acapulco.

rusty nut Posted December 5, 2014 #16 Share Posted December 5, 2014 There's a huge difference between a "fire on the ship" and a "ship on fire". It appears it was the former and everything is fine, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kartgv Posted December 5, 2014 #19 Share Posted December 5, 2014 But a "fire on the ship" can quickly become a "ship on fire". True, it can but it very seldom does. We've been on 4 cruises where there was a small fire onboard; in each case, the ship's personnel responded as they are trained to do and it was all over very quickly. Many of the crew drills that occur onboard on sea days are fire response drills. Yes, there have been a couple of tragic cruise ship fires that make the news, but you usually don't hear much about the many more cases where the threat was dealt with efficiently and quickly or was a false alarm in the first place.

Remind me never to cruise on the same ship as you! :p Seriously though, either I've just been lucky or I don't pay attention to the calls over the loud speaker.

iheartbda Posted December 15, 2014 #24 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Listen for "Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!" It's scary to hear and even scarier when one smells smoke.:eek: I chugged my cocktail and still couldn't eat after they said everything was OK.

Stu K Posted December 15, 2014 #25 Share Posted December 15, 2014 bravo bravo bravo?
