Your family member experienced a similar happening a few months ago? Was it a Princess ship? It sure is strange that it happened going out of the same port. Was it reported in the media, is there any record of the happening? Another very strange thing is that a passenger on the Crown Princess said the ship had been "tilted" for some time prior to the happening.

It was the same port - but a different ship. It was a Royal Caribbean - out of Port Canaveral - and what happened was this - they were out to sea, the ship started slowing down, then the engines stopped, then the ship lost all power and started listing. ( Seems the phrase "like walking up hill" was used) The power was off and the ship was listing for 2 to 3 hours - there wasn't water, air conditioning etc. After some time the ship brought out bottled water, but there wasn't water to flush the toilets etc. And no, it didn't make the news. These family members have been taking cruises for years and have never experienced anything like this and up until that time, had never heard of anyone experiencing this... It is odd - and odder yet that it's out of the same port but on a different line.

Bits and pieces of seemingly unrelated data often combine to explain an "incident".

Few ever note their "obvious" relations, until "hindsight", when the particular analytical scenarios postulated, are either proven or discarded.
