Queen Mary 2 Mid Atlantic funnel shot
The Queen Mary 2 has suffered a small fire in one of her gas turbines today while docked in the port of Lisbon.
The fire is under control and the damage- described as minor- is currently under assessment. Right now, the liner is still scheduled to sail on time for her next port of call- the Spanish port of Vigo- later tonight.
However, one of the pods is not coming on line right at this moment.
The Queen Mary 2 is currently in the last stage of a twelve night, round trip cruise from Southampton to the Canary Islands and Portugal, that sailed from Southampton on December 3rd. The ship is due back in the Hampshire port after her Vigo call on December 15th. Later that same day, she is scheduled to sail on her final, westbound crossing of the year to New York.
Stay tuned for news.
My grateful thanks go to Ron Acosta for this on the spot update.
