    We were on Fred Olsen's Balmoral when a similar event occurred in the middle of the Baltic. A relay went wonky and the power supply to the cooling for the engines and main generators went down. Fortunately the engine room crew quickly shut off both engines and the generators before damage was done but one engine was stopped slightly before the other resulting in a very impressive and quick 360 degreee turn and lots of steam being vented from every available orifice.

    Took about 3 hours to get it sorted during which time the ship was on battery power only but the bars were free - if they hadn't got it sorted there would have been several hundred very merry passengers to evacuate.
