As I siad we had propblems on both our cruises, smaller ships. I have been told its mostly the smaller ships and shorter cruises that have the partiers. To be fair, I am sure its not every or most cruises.
The reports and Maritime info I have read is mounting up in my mind. The QM2 and Spendour and some other vessels of the same class, used a electrical system, designed in Italy, for smaller ships and just *beefed it up*..The MQ11 had a electrical fire, handled well and put out fast. The cause of the fire was found and changes made in the system, however the changes were not made to the tothe other vessels,,,,,,,,,,,,,The spendour fire was caused by the same design issue .....the Concordia also had blackouts (unrelated to the sinking)
Add the fire on the allegro.
There is a class of Princess line vessels(I don't remember the name) that according to carnvial Inc, made*uncommanded hard turns*
My favorite, abit it was years ago.....the Estacy sailed Miami and there was smoke belching out of the stern. It was on TV. The USCG called the vessel to make sure they knew, and the story goes the Master argued with them about it.
Granted they run many ships, but this is getting to be mounting up!
JMHO, but my family will not sail Carnival Inc, but maybe Cunbard. That crew put out the fire fastr.
