Loredana, speriamo solo che non ci siano stati feriti tra i passeggeri e l'equipaggio... questa è la cosa più importante...

L'articolo non riporta notizie di feriti o peggio.
È la testimonianza di un passeggero che alle 5,30 viene svegliato dall'annuncio del Comandante che riferisce di un incendio vicino alla sala macchine. L'incendio viene rapidamente domato ma la nave ha perso propulsione ed è diretta ad Hilo nella Hawaii.

Grazie per la notizia Loredana.

Per fortuna l'incendio è stato domato e non ci sono vittime.

Meno male che non è successo nulla di grave. Immagino la paura delle persone a bordo ed essere svegliati così all' improvviso , non è certamente bello, immagino il panico dei primissimi momenti....
Grazie Loredana.

November 20 2015 Update: The Star Advertiser newspaper in Honolulu reports that the Grand Princess, cruising to Hawaii from San Francisco, experienced a fire in its engine room and lost power about 100 miles from Hilo this morning. The crew extinguished the fire just before 8 a.m. and restarted its engine, resuming its voyage.According to a passenger, “the ship has only one working engine and there are two small tug boats that might get the ship into port.”

November 23, 2015 Update from Princess Cruises @ 3:05 PM EST: Princess released the foltowing statement this afternoon:
"At approximately 5:30 am local time, the propulsion circuit breaker in the aft switchboard aboard Grand Princess suffered a significant failure, resulting in smoke. The ship was 20 miles off the coast of Hilo, Hawaii. All guests and crew are accounted for and there were no injuries.
The incident did cause a power outage resulting in the use of emergency lighting and limited air conditioning for a short time. The ship is currently operating on three diesel generators and will arrive in Hilo later today.
We are currently investigating the cause of this incident and the impact it may have on the current voyage.
Grand Princess is carrying 2,592 guests and 1,095 crew. The ship is on the fifth day of a 15-day Hawaii cruise that departed San Francisco on November 25."

November 30, 2015 Update from Princess Cruises @ 5:53 PM EST:
"At approximately 5:30 am local time, a propulsion circuit breaker in the aft electrical switchboard aboard Grand Princess suffered a significant failure, resulting in smoke and a small fire contained within the switchboard. The ship was 20 miles off the coast of Hilo, Hawaii. All guests and crew are accounted for and there were no injuries.
The incident was isolated but did cause a power outage resulting in the temporary use of emergency lighting and limited air conditioning for a short time. Power has been restored and all hotel and guest services are in operation.
The call to Hilo has been cancelled in order to proceed to Honolulu where shoreside engineers have been deployed to meet the ship for an on-time arrival at 0700 am local time on December 1.
Once the technical officers and engineers complete their assessment of the situation it will be determined if there will be any further impact to the itinerary."
