Anyone confirm a fire onboard Splendour of the Seas

[Miryam1234]

We were on Splendour just last week. I am glad to hear everyone is safe and well. Please say hello to Kish who is a bartender ar Schooner bar, if you see him there, from Kiia and her parents. Safe sailing back to Venice!

My daughter Fern works as a hairdresser in the spa, she was shaken and upset about the fire, the staff quarters are flooded and smoke damaged.

If anyone still on the splendour reads this, can you just look in on my daughter and say hello from her mom please.

One guest and 19 crew members were treated for smoke inhalation and released. One crew member was still being treated Thursday, according to Royal Caribbean.

A fire at sea is the most worry some and potentially damaging event. Kudos to the highly trained staff that contained this before it spread and caused further damage. A true testimony to their training and skills!

And if they had waited to post, you would be complaining about getting no information at all.:rolleyes: They can only post the information they have at the given time.

It will be interesting to hear nationally syndicated radio consumer reporter Clark Howard when he returns from this cruise. He will have an unbiased opinion on how everything was handled in a crisis.

We are passengers on board SOS - all is fine - we missed Argostoli - steaming to Venice for an on time arrival. The officers and crew were great - keeping us all safe and informed. All in all a great cruise...........with a bit of added excitement!!!!

Hello Gary, I was on the Liberty TA with you a couple of years ago and am glad that everything was handled well.

 

Were you in an aft balcony?

 

I became a bit concerned when marine traffic dot com showed the ship heading at 136 knots toward Venice. It was fortunately a glitch as all ship traffic was shown to have similar speedy progress.

 

I am taking Liberty again out of Bayonne to Galveston on the Repo next week as I wanted to sail on the ship before she is 'enhanced'.

Ah yes the Liberty TA............I remember you and playing TRASH. We are on the Harmony TA and have 100 people signed up for TRASH.........2 tables of 50 each..........OMG!!!!!! I can still hear "another one bites the dust"!!!!!

 

Yes we are in our aft cabin - a JS #8082 - we had a bit of ash on the deck chairs but nothing more than usual back there. Right now we are watching lots of water taxi's as there are 2 NCL ships (Jade & Spirit), MSC Poesia and HAL's Rotterdam.............the port is full!!!!

 

Hope to see you again at sea!!!!

The Splendour of the Seas has returned back to schedule after the fire last week. According to marinetraffic, she is currently in Kusadasi after steaming through the Aegean Sea with a speed of 19 knots.

Thank you for sharing the good news.

Breathing a big sigh of relief...

I was also on board & agree with all that crew handled the emergency very well.

We were on deck 6 & were asked to stay in cabin. The woman in the cabin across from us when advised that she had to stay in her cabin repeatedly asked the crew member "why cant I go to the spa".....ummm there is a fire onboard.....I just rolled my eyes...some people can be extremely stupid :)
