DJDaveS Posted April 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just got this text from my cousin who is on the Allure of the Seas (4/20/12 9:50PM) My cousin is on the Allure right now. Just got this text: Fire on board - All is fine but it was panic on the ship - emergency sirens - lockdown on the floors - PA announcements every few mins. Black smoke billowing out of the top stacks - we had to change direction for a bit to make the smoke not come into the ship (although we could smell it!) More info as I get it...

vr6glidriver Posted April 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I received the following @ 20:34 EST from my parents on board this sailing: Please keep your e-ears open for any info. We have a fire in the number 2 engine room (This is not a drill). We have turned around to facilitate smoke removal and the fire is reportedly under control. We can smell the strong odor of an electical fire all the way up here on deck 14. Will check email later tonight. More later... ...love dad and mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenlorz Posted April 21, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Uh-oh.... looks like someone finally managed to smuggle an iron on board :cool: In all seriousness, we first pray that everyone is ok and uninjured and next that the grand Ms. Allure comes through this with extremely minor damage and that those who are currently cruising get to complete their cruise with little more interruption :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klingoncruiser Posted April 21, 2012 #14 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I hope the engine crew is O.K. Fire is very dangerous on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klingoncruiser Posted April 21, 2012 #19 Share Posted April 21, 2012 That much smoke out of the engine room, would lead me to think she may be down for the count for a while or working at reduced power. Either way, not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusingdave Posted April 21, 2012 #24 Share Posted April 21, 2012 We are scheduled to fly from Atlantic City at 12:40 PM tomorrow (sat) to Ft. Lauderdale for this Sunday departure. Hope we hear something whether to go or not. Captain Johnny Faevelen is scheduled to be there. He is very experienced and a real professional. The passengers and crew are in good hands.
