Cruise ship repaired after fire A cruise ship which had been drifting after a fire in the seas south of the Philippines has been repaired and is now sailing towards Malaysia. The luxury Azamara Quest reportedly has 60 Britons on board but is carrying around 1,000 passengers in total. Power and propulsion has been restored following a fire in one of the ship's engine rooms on Friday. The news of the repair came after Jeremy Scott, of Pinner, Middlesex, praised the crew on board the ship and said the passengers were displaying the "Dunkirk spirit." Mr Scott said his parents, Valerie and Billy Scott had phoned him on Saturday morning from the ship to tell him they are "fine." There is no panic, everybody is fine and they are just getting on with it. It is the Dunkirk spirit and they are making the best of the situation," he said. The fire was contained in the engine room and was quickly put out. The damage caused by the fire has meant that the rest of the cruise will be cancelled once the ship has arrived in Sandakan, the company said. The 17-night cruise left Hong Kong on Monday and was due to finish in Singapore on April 12. All guests are set to get a full refund for their cruise. Azamara Club Cruises is owned by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
