OKW Lover said:Just thought more about this and perhaps Dreams (as a big DCL TA) has enough clout to actually get to somebody at DCL to ask them exactly this kind of question. It might make for a very interesting segment on the PodCast.
^ Great advice !My mom said she's packin a few extra granola bars and a flashlight next time she cruises...
(I'm sure someone here knows the date)
Bottom line: You take a cruise and you take your chances.
^ And a video to boot !
^ Thanks for the tip, Tink !You know.. if you bring along a Mini Mag lite... you can screw off the top and use it as a base and then it becomes a candle... (a very romantic flashlight for camping...) and you only have to bring AA batteries (there's an extra light bulb also under the bottom battery cap...)
...what provisions are in place? Do they have have back up electrical and drive power? Do they have contracts with 3rd party companies in place for the displacement of the passengers?
I would be curious to see how DCL would handle the same scenario.
The IMO enacted a new guideline that all ships built on or after July 1, 2010 having a length of 120 meters or more or having three or more main vertical zone, must follow. The "Safe Return to Port", basically calls for ships to be able to "limp" back to port with basic functions due to redundancy.
Interesting. Weren't the Dream/Fantasy already under construction at that point? Or at least had their design specifications finished? Do they fall under this new guideline?
