FIRES

You might not think that fires are much of a danger when you are in the middle of the ocean, but remember that cruise ships are essentially floating cities with complex electronics and machinery. Over the last 20 or so years, there have been almost 100 reported fires on cruise ships, and they can be quite dangerous for anyone nearby when they occur – especially the crew members asked to put them out. If you are hurt in a fire that could have been prevented, make sure your voice is heard.
