Creator's Key Takeaways

in march of 2006 the star princess was sailing just off the coast of jamaica she had 3813 people on board

the fire started on deck 10 but because of the high winds once the fire took hold it spread very fast along the ship and also up to decks 11 and 12

the heat from the fire on the balconies was so hot that in some situations it did shatter the glass in the balcony cabin doors

it was in 2012 that princess banned smoking on their balconies completely almost every major cruise line did this around the same time

YouTube Video Description

I recently saw a comment on my channel that said ‘Why is this lady so upset that SMOKERS CAN SMOKE ON THEIR PRIVATE BALCONIES, they’re not hurting anybody’ the comment went on to say how ‘unfair’ I was being when I said that smoking on balconies shouldn’t be allowed on cruise ships. Well, here’s why. In this video, I tell the story of the Star Princess and the fire that destroyed 23% of her balcony cabins. Do you think smoking should be allowed on balconies?
