My grandmother died on the Yarmouth Castle which sailed out of Miami. Same choices.

Sorry to hear that. Hard choice but I would take my chance with the water.

My grandmother died on the Yarmouth Castle

Wow. That's like having a relative on Titanic. A piece of history.

The Morro Castle was another liner that caught fire and killed hundreds of passengers. Conclusion: do NOT sail on any ship with “Castle” as part of its name.

I recall news reports about the Yarmouth Castle fire in late 1965. That disaster was very similar to the Morro Castle fire which killed more than 100 passengers and crew aboard a passenger ship in 1934.
