Fire on Majesty

[Aquahound]

Last night, while the Majesty was tied up here in KW, a fire in a store room was sparked by a faulty light fixture. The fire was somewhat large and destroyed the room's contents.

 

The Majesty is leaving the dock as I type this, so upcoming cruises should not be affected.

 

By the way, she was here on a rare over night stop.

That was my first thought--what was she doing there overnight? That's weird.

 

Everyone ok on board? Thanks for the update, as usual.

[Aquahound]

Yea, everyone's fine. There were no injuries.

You are amazing, Aquahound. Keep up the good work. :)

Could the overnight stop be because of the fire? If it could have started to spread, the local fire department may have been alerted, and put on standby, just in case. Just a thought. Hopefully all is OK now.

It was actually a scheduled over night stop. I'm not sure what the circumstances are.....if it was a chartered cruise, or if there were issues with another port. There is no roll-call for this sailing.

Dumb question, but I didn't think ships were allowed to overnight in Key West?

The city of Key West allows a handful of overnighters annually. Last I heard, it was something like 6. The overnighters generally use Pier B (Westin Dock), which is not city owned.

Guess they were fully insured :D

I'm sailing on Majesty on Monday. Hope my trip won't be effected!

It shouldn't be. It was contained to the one store room, and they got underway today on schedule.

Thanks. I figured it was something like that. Last time Majesty spent the night, it was due to bad weather in the Bahamas and they had to skip Coco Cay. I knew that wasn't the case this week.

Alright you now have to come over to my house and clean my screen.

Thanks for your service, Aquahound. Not just on the boards, but what you do down there. :)

Off topic aquahound but were you involved in any way of the rescue of the watercraft that was taking on water that Freedom responded to this past Saturday?

Please excuse me from being so forward, but what do you do in KW? I'm so glad someone asked as I didn't know either. I've followed a number of your wonderful threads ... everyone seemed to know you but me. Thanks for your service. For sure you should be the Godfather of the Allure! (My husband is a retired Naval Cdr.)

Thank you, Tim. No, I was not involved. I have not worn a uniform in years. I'm a civilian employee now.
