It happened overnight and some reports say it was on the aft mooring deck. Passengers were rousted and sent to life boat stations as a precaution but the fire appears to have been quickly extinguished. The ship did not lose power and is on her way under her own power to Freeport in the Bahamas instead of Coco Cay.
I guess they felt it was easier to access the extent of the damage in Freeport and they have the shipyard there if need be.
And for the funny irony .... when the fire was reported the closet ship in the area was the Carnival cruise ship which the US Coast Guard ordered to stand by just in case.

The open deck directly above the effected deck is the crew disco. It has tons of lights and music going all night long. According to the crew though no one uses it because they want to sleep and it's the only place they can smoke onboard so that's all that ever happens there. Wonder if someone smoking may have caused something.
She's a great little ship and Captain Espen Beem is onboard. Incredibly personable and a great sense of humor so I'm sure that's helped the onboard moral.
Not going to lie, I really wish I was still onboard to have seen this. Especially now that the execs are headed there to talk to everyone onboard. This is Royal Caribbean's first incident of this nature in a while so it'll be interesting to see what their compensation package ends up being.
They do seem to be on top of it with a good disaster plan but still the industry did not need this press.
I assume the Granduer will be off to the shipyard in Freeport ASAP for some new windows, paint, etc.
It was reported as part of the ongoing woes of the cruise industry, and quite possibly a fresh warning to Canadian travelers to be on guard of cruise ships.
Since summer is upon us, we like to travel far and wide.
