A Princess cruise ship suffered a fire this week, leading to a muster station alert for passengers.
The fire was in a galley on Deck 12 but was extinguished by crew members and the emergency only lasted around one hour.
It is unclear what caused the fire.

It is on a 18-night cruise to Greenland.
The captain announced the all-clear after about one hour and the blaze didn’t seem to cause any power loss.
According to guests’ online posts, the captain assured guests were never in danger.
