Welcome everyone!
During a 14-night cruise in the Mediterranean, Royal Caribbean's 3,634 passenger Independence of the Seas was alongside a pier in the port of Gibraltar when a fuel tank exploded. A statement from Royal Caribbean says, "immediately after the explosion, the ship retracted from the gangway and moved a safe distance from the dock."
After the accident occurred, 12 passengers received medical treatment on board. The line also says that all injuries were minor.
The explosion happened just before the ship was readying for departure and only 2 guests were still ashore. Neither of the guests got injured.
What do you think about the accident? I think it would be really scarey to be in the Royal Promenade and all the sudden feel the ship move sideways when I knew the ship hadn't departed! Please leave a comment and spread the word about this new blog! Thanks.
