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.

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&centery=25&zoom=2&level1=140

It shows that Legend currently is about 80 km or 50 miles due west of Acapulco.

Found a posting about the fire on Legend on my cell phone on F...b..k. The person stated she was on that ship, said it was on Deck 6 starboard forward & related to welding....then later said it was over & all was fine.....

 

Thanks, so great to hear that all is fine! :)

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.

4 cruises with a fire? 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.

Is that genuinely the ships on fire code? we were on the spirit drinking in the late night bar early one morning when that came over the speaker ! we asked when it was the bartender said nothing to worry about the ships on fire lol thought he was joking.
