I Was on the QE2 when there was an electrical fire in the boiler room. I had just gone down to get a sweater (air conditioning at bingo was cold) and the water tight doors closed and I was trapped and had to climb up all those stairs to reach the deck. We were becalmed for two days in the Med but they airlifted huge generators and set them up to give extra power so even though we were not going anywhere we still had everything working. I can't help but wonder why Carnival didn't do the same.

It was an illfated trip as on the crossing back to NY we ran into a huricane in the north atlantic and because we were running late the captain decided to plow through instead of going around we had waves over the top of the ship that flooded water every where. We didn't go on Cunard again. However we took 5 cruises after that but now that my favorite line was merged into Holland America another carnival owned line I don't know if we will again.
