Fire Aboard the Royal Princess...And Me Aboard as Well

Here is what news there was online about the June 19th fire.

This comes from the Cruise Critic web site.

The June 25th cruise was cancelled as well as ours which began on June 13th. The fire occurred on the fifth day of a 12-day Holy Land Cruise. There were 733 passengers aboard (including myself, mother, sister, niece, cousin, and his wife. Also, 393 crew members.

Greg Surratt, a pastor from South Carolina gave a series of mini-reports via Twitter. He reported that a reliable source said it was caused by a fuel pump. A not-so-good source said there was an explosion (I didn't hear one). Several sources reported that we were very lucky and it could have been a lot more serious.

The fire broke out at 8:10 pm, local time in Egypt, shortly after departure from Port Said.

More to Come. --RoadDog
