So sorry to hear there has been 5 deaths on the Majesty....the ship we are having our holiday on.
They were doing a life boat test and the cable broke somehow and it
killed 5 crew and injured another 3
We have friends on board at the moment too. No idea yet if it will sail again this week or if it will be check and ready for sailing again by the time we are supposed to board.
Not that that is anything compared to the loss of 5 families..so very, very sad to hear this on the News last night.....hope the injured 3 recover and thoughts to the families of the lost men
Oh my gosh Sue! I heard it on the news and I thought of you dining with the captain... I thought you were already on the ship...
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrible thing to happen. I hope you can soon enjoy your holiday though. Love from Mirjam.
Not for a couple of a wee while yet, Thomson have cancelled this weeks cruise and are enabling everyone to go home, Phil's work mate on board this week so not good.
DeleteHope it can get the all clear for when we go but the whole situation is just so sad still 3 badly injured, hope they all recover, everyone is upset for the lost men.
Very very sad.
What sad news and terrible for the families concerned.
ReplyDeleteIt is so many messages have been left on the Thomson site for the lost lives and for the men who were injured
DeleteHoping they make a full recovery x
How awful..only just saw this post. I hope it all works out for your trip. So very sad, especially involving something which was supposed to be enhancing safety. Maybe they will put you on a different boat? Good luck
ReplyDeleteIt is a real sad situation, being updated , but at this stage they don't know if it wi sail for a while. Friends on board this week are being sent home from what has been said so far x
DeleteWhat a shame. Cruise ships can have big problems. There is another one that is floating without power, no restrooms, etc. I hope you get to go on your trip. Teresa
ReplyDeleteVery sad situation Phil's work mate is on board Thai week too from what's been said Thomson are arranging for everyone to return home as this weeks cruise has obviously been cancelled,
DeleteWe are being given update if future cruises are being cancelled, they can't set sail until all has been checked and they are given the al clear.
Not a happy situation for anyone x
