Good job there were no casualties despite the fire sounding quite extensive, also useful that the ship was not in fitting out stage as damage would have been alot worse. Very lucky this time, hopefully it will be the only problem aboard the ship before she enters service. Could still make people superstitious about her now though, doesn't take too much to earn a black mark...QM2 was said to be marked by the deaths of the French workers and families when she was under construction.

Happy to hear damage was not extensive and no one was hurt. Glad I'm not superstitious.
