deep1 Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Crew Center has been informed that Bravo Code was sounded on the Jewel of the Seas at this moment. The ship is now sailing across the Atlantic Ocean to Miami where it is scheduled to arrive on November 14. The vessel is in the middle of the Atlantic which is the worst place to have an emergency situation. Our source said that all crew members are going to the I-95 wearing lifejackets and the atmosphere is tense. There was a water flooding on Deck 1 in the front section of the vessel, which caused a chemical reaction followed by thick smoke. Portside Launching team has been called at the emergency stations in order to be prepared for launching of the lifeboats. Launching team has been called to Lifeboat 14, and everyone is on standby, the crew member said. Shortly after the Captain made an announcement, that the situation is under control. As far as we know there are no injured crew members during this emergency. Jewel of the Seas is sailing across the Atlantic with only crew members on board and there are no passengers during this voyage. emmef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHollyS Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Anyone care to speculate on what this incident was? Flooding, fire, smoke. What would cause all of these on Deck 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNeedsAVacay Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Looks like it was not a fire, but possibly a chemical reaction that caused smoke. Apparently it was resolved quickly and everyone is continuing on their business as usual. https://cruises-info.com/false-bravo-code-onboard-jewel-of-the-seas/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 So in other words, it wasn't even newsworthy as it was handled properly through the proper protocols the crew trains for. Jjohnb and teddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floski Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 But the major news outlets will be saying that she damn near sunk, with millions of passengers onboard. No one should be cruising - EVER! rjweber3, Baked Alaska, Jill and 3 others 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's comforting to know the crew is even more prepared and went through a nice emergency "mock" drill. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrsNV Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Does Jewel need to do a test cruise when it arrives in MIA? I am booked for the 11/20/2021 cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely not. They've worked back door deals with the CDC to allow ships sailing overseas to begin USA homeporting w/o a test cruise (Adventure, Anthem, Jewel, etc) UrsNV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
