An allegation had been made during the sailing, which was passed to the police. In a separate incident on the same sailing, a small fire broke out on the lower decks at 4.15 p.m. during routine maintenance work. This was extinguished by the crew within two minutes in accordance with all correct maritime procedures. At no point were any passengers in danger.     (1 hour ago, by Timsen )
