Coming up on this week's show, a review of Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas. It actually hit Bermuda and then down to the Eastern Caribbean. So we'll have the review of Liberty coming up here shortly. But as always, staff writer Richard Sims with Cruise News. Hey, Richard.

Hey, Doug. We start the week off with a small fire on a big ship.

Not just a big ship, the biggest ship. Icon of the seas. You know, a lot of people when they saw

those photos of the ship, you'll remember, people were freaking out, especially because the

mainstream media was, you know, running photos with weird fish eye lenses and stuff. But one of the

concerns that people had was, what if something running photos with weird fish-eye lenses and stuff, but one of the concerns that people had was,

what if something happens on the ship?

Those of us who've been on ships tend to realize that, like,

probably the bigger concern is fire.

They always warn you about fire.

We talk a lot about fire and why they don't want you smoking,

except in designated areas, that kind of thing.

In this case, earlier this week, the icon of the seas was docked in Costa Maya, Mexico.

There aren't a lot of details about exactly what happened, but we do know that the fire took place in what's known as a non-technical area, which means the operating systems

of the ship were not in any danger. It doesn't sound like really anybody was in any danger.

They got it taken care of very quickly. There was a power outage. People who were on shore,

because again, the ship was docked, were we're temporarily not allowed to um board the ship

the gangway was closed but they were able to get it taken care of in a relatively short period of

time it was obviously not anything too serious because they not not long after that they set sail for

their next port so um you know the crew did exactly what they're trained to do.
