If it was all done in a controlled manner she may think it's all fine and she can go back on. But until I speak to her I really don't know how she'll feel."
"Completely shocked I couldn't believe it was happening again - you know the ship was in danger. Even though I knew the fire was out obviously I didn;t know the extent of the fire but in the same email they did say that everyone was safe so there was a little bit of comfort there."
