From information I have there have been more incidents of thes nature with Carnival lines than any other. Makes you wonder what is going on.

IT SEEMS ENGINE ROOM FIRES ARE VERY PREVALENT ON CRUISE SHIPS, COSTA ALLEGRA WAS SCRAPPED FOR THAT REASON, , IMAGINE 4200 ON BOARD AND NO WORKING TOILETS, THATS A HEALTH HAZARD, IN HOT WEATHER, YUK. ! IT WONT BE LONG BEFOR A FIRE HAPPENS THAT CANT BE EXTINGUISHED, LETS SEE HOW THERE EVACUATION PLANS WORK THEN.

Well i sincerly hope that this doesnt keep happening as My dear Daughter,her Hubby and the one Child of 12 Years old are going on the Carnival Prince in September ,sail out of Sydney on the 6th Sept 2013
9 Nights cruise around New Caladonia!
They are so looking forward to it,as its the first time that any of them have been on a Large Cruise Liner!
They got a lovely Balcony Cabin for the Two adults and another Cabin for the Boy!
8F Deck,so looks a nice one!?/
John Strange?? Comments on this Cabin please!
Cheers

And the Wife is off as well in September 4th,going to Paris,Frankfurt,London and then back!
Arrives back 28th Sept!

Me, well all alone Boo Hoo!! haha!

Well Vernon my friend. As they are going to New Caledonia at that time of the year a balcony cabin will be good, weather should be fine but not too hot. One problem with many balcony cabins they tend to be a bit smaller than the nprmal ocean view ones. It all depends on how much time you spend in your cabin and what you like to do. Balcomies not so good on NZ run as there can be a lot of cold days at sea with salt spray coming up. Inboard cabins are fine if you like living like a mushroom, kept in the dark. But for many it is fine as it is just somewhere to sleep, problem is you never know when the sun is up. But having done four runs around thta area I am sure they will have a great time.

I somtimes wonder why as the main engine is only a generator supplying electricity for the propulsion engines and all ships power. I heard on news today that the bloods on board are being supplied with plastic bags to replace the toilets!!!!!!!!!!!! What a load of crap, what do you do with a plastic bag?

[Doc Vernon]

Hi John (with lots of Cruise experience)
Thanks for the Post mate,yes i hope all be be well,and i am sure they will enjoy the trip!
The older Son has just been on one as well,think he gets back Today?
This is all down to Daddy haha! (me that is teling them of the lovely Sea and Ships)
So this is the Cabin that my Daughter will have!
If its bit cool John,they can just keep the Balcony Door shut! ??
I do see that the Cabin is smaller than the others,but she and Hubby will be on Deck etc most of the time!
Cheers
