Shipbuilder Launches Burned Liner !!!
I hope this is not an omen of a jinxed ship. Has anybody heard of this
ship? M/S SVEA CORONA 1975 Sundancer 1984 Pegasus 1985 Ionian Express 1994-95 http://shiplover3.stormpages.com/Sweden/SveaCorona.html About 40 percent of the 113,000-ton cruise ship was severely damaged by the fire last year. But repairs have been completed and the ship will undergo final interior touches at the shipyard's dock before being delivered to its owner, British shipping company P&O Princess Cruises PLC, next May. |

Pegasus has had some rough luck . We were on here in the late 80's
(early 90's?) when Regent Tours of Toronto chartered her for Carribbean Cruises. It was replaced by MTS Triton . Pegasus was adequate for the money , but it was obvious it was a car ferry . It looked like one and rode like one. We did enjoy the Greek influences on board ! Hopa ! Don W. Odysseus wrote in message news:CIu9b.466465$Ho3.78151@sccrnsc03...

Fires while building are not that uncommon, but obviously this one was worse
than most. Voyager of the Seas suffered a fire during her construction, so has Queen Mary 2, etc, etc. Lots of welding with lots of combustibles around (and above/below sometimes these are set off by welding the deck below, igniting stuff one deck up). Regards, Keith |

Tell me you don't live under a rock! First, you worry about jinxes (there
are no such things) and then you post on a cruise board about the biggest fire to hit a cruise ship in years, not knowing about the Princess ship. Time for you to do a search on the Internet using Princess, fire and Japan as your key words. "Odysseus" wrote in message news:CIu9b.466465$Ho3.78151@sccrnsc03...

Actually, I don't believe in jinxes. However, there are some ships that by
chance have much more than their share of bad luck. I knew about the Princess fire last year. The captain of the Dawn Princess told the passengers that it would cause one their new ships to be renamed. Tell me you don't live under a rock!
