Yeah....I heard that there may have been a BC couple still left aboard in their cabin. The inquiry on this one will not be pretty.

Been a bad week for the maritime profession. Cruise ships afire...cruise tour buses overturning. :o

I hate when that happens, a perfect story turns out to be sour after all… Thanks for the update.:up:

Hi, to you too, the boat that will be in peril is the HMS Hood. :)

Yep, I thought so. I can identify her while she's quikly escaping from your tubes...

Sad, I do not know why, but I want to know where they are and how they died, if dead... :hmm:

4 minutes later, she was struck by a salvo of 3 torps… ;)

If you'd said "Yes" I'ld have asked to check your records...

Everybody gets off (Meaning the crew did their job) safe for one lone, romantically engaged couple?

I don't have THAT much passenger experience, but I can safely make a guess as to what they were doing. Think about it. I can't take a guess as of where, tho.

Passengers really are the worst cargo.

You are a Dutch Commodore, you can't check foreign documents activities…:D

Neither I can understand why they didn't ear the alarm. Maybe they have gone missing after the ship sank; the sea was bad after all, who knows… :hmm:

Passengers will panic at a false alarm, and ignore a real one. It's one of their many interesting flaws.

Especially if there's only a couple of passenger in a broom closet, you know.

Like this or any other tragedy, it is important to remember that when traveling by sea, air or ground, too always be vigilant and responsive at all time. It is maybe your vacation, but tragedy does not take vacations. :-?
