Island Star |
The cruise was cancelled after engines failed off the coast
of France, plunging the ship into darkness. Passengers were
ferried to shore by the ship's tenders. The ship first
experienced problems as it left Genoa -- emergency repairs were
apparently not enough. The following cruise, scheduled to leave
from Palma on September 29 was cancelled in order to accommodate
repairs. |
