Former "statendam", now called "Vasco da gama" was drifting for quite some time off the coast af australia. A "horror" experience according to passengers.

Quote:

 

Listener Ian called Steve Price from his cabin saying it’s been “absolutely horrific”.

“We’re drifting. We’ve got no power, no water, no toilets, no cooking, nothing!

“They’ve got auxiliary power to light the corridors but that is it. It’s like a ghost ship, mate.”

It sounds like two different stories from what the passenger reported and what the cruise line reported. In any case not a fun way to end a cruise.

Thank you for the link.

 

Not nice to end a cruise with no power.

The report is somewhat sensationalized until you get to the end.
