Prayers for the Star Princess

Hello Guys,

Well I have already contacted Mum and Dad to give them the news that I am o.k. (as good old CNN did not announce WHICH Princess Ship) But I would like to ask the rest of you for some help. Three days ago, our sister ship the Star Princess (the ship I was supposed to join before I picked the Sea Princess) caught on fire. It has been all over the news (CNN) and we've only had very limited information and no news from our friends onboard until now. Three decks worth of cabins have been burnt, 11 injured passengers and 1 died of a heart attack. The crew kept passengers in their muster stations (emergency rooms) for 7 hours while the fire continued to burn and the fire fighting team faught to put it out. After that the crew worked for 20 hours straight to try and fix damage and assist passengers wherever they could. They are currently in dry dock to try and repair what is possible and to see if the Star can continue the rest of the season.

This is obviously a big awakening to all on ships as this could have happened to any of us, I am counting my lucky stars that I did not go to that ship, that I chose the Sea (thank you Susan). So guys...if I can please have you all say a prayer or if you don't pray just have in your thoughts my friends on the Star Princess who have not only come out alive, but saved passenger's lives and just avoided "Abandon Ship" by pure luck, I know they would appreciate it.

Lets all be thankful for our blessings and remember how precious life really is.

Sorry to be so preachy but I just find this really hard to grasp.

Love you all
