Is the Captain still onboard or has he initiated the lifeboat ejection sequence?

No pictures of cute English cabaret dancers. This story is going nowhere.

Do the slot machines still work and the bars stocked? I don’t see a problem here.

The vessel is operated by the same company that operated that Costa Concordia

I think I'd stay away from those guys, at least until they've jailed the current executives.

Also, frankly, those cruise ships look extremely top-heavy to me. Nice in calm weather, with all those portholes looking out, but I'd hate to be caught in a storm in one. Probably have a very wide, flat bottom, which is fine as long as you don't exceed the specs. Once it goes over, it won't come back up. I haven't seen the plans, but that high, fat, luxury look makes me very nervous.

I’d abandon ship. Always wanted to visit Seychelles.

First a ship runs aground in Italy, then passengers are robbed in Puerto Valletta, now this? Have the Muzzies also permeated the cruise business?

Another ship from the same company? Wow, their value just plummeted even more.

The captain just made port in Madagascar with his lifeboat and he assured the waiting press that everything is “under control” with respect to the Costra Allegra still out at sea. The captain than hailed a cab and hastily made his departure.

Air conditioning and ventilation would be down. You could always go out on the deck in the sun.

Ship is North of Madagascar. Four short guys in tuxedos are listed as persons of interest in the fire.

The vessel is operated by the same company that operated that Costa Concordia, which capsized last month after hitting rocks off the coast of Italy.

Note to self don't book a cruise on a Coasta ship.

My week on the Navigator of the Seas 10 years ago was the maybe the funnest week of my life.

Of course meeting a Fox weather girl the first night and hanging with her and her 2 friends all week helped a bit....

Anybody here cruise on the Oasis or the Allure of the Seas yet?

Those two ships look absolutely amazing.
