Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas has resumed its cruise after the oil explosion in Gibraltar yesterday injured 11 British guests and 1 Swiss guest.
The explosion occurred on the pier that Independence of the Seas was docked at, according to a statement by Royal Caribbean. Furthermore, Independence immediately retracted her gangway and moved a safe distance away following the explosion.
"Twelve guests sustained minor injuries and have received medical treatment onboard. Two guests were still ashore when the incident took place and were not injured during the explosion.”
Independence of the Seas has resumed its 14-night Mediterranean sailing, having departing from Southampton on May 28, and is due to visit Cannes and Monte Carlo tomorrow.
