Allure-Of-The-Seas

On Dec 11, the Cayman Islands flagged luxury yacht 'My Aurora', 414 gt (MMSI: 319113700), accidentally ran into the 'Allure of the Seas' and hit the port side of the cruise ship, which was berthed in Nassau, Bahamas at the time of the incident. The yacht apparently had lost power and drifted into the back of the ship. There was amage to the antenna of the 'My Aurora' after hitting one of the lifeboats of the 'Allure of the Seas', but the full extent of damage for both vessels was unclear. No injuries have been reported from either vessel. The 'Allure of the Seas' was docked in Nassau during a four-day Bahamas cruise and was able to sail out of the port and continue the voyage as scheduled. The 'My Aurora' docked in the Bayshore Marina, Nassau. Report with photos and video: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2024/12/11/yacht-collides-royal-caribbean-cruise-ship

On Dec 8, a hallway on one of its stateroom decks of the 'Allure of the Seas' flooded with water after a pipe burst. The incident happened during a Bahamas weekend cruise, which had departed Miami on Dec. 6 for a cruise visiting Nassau and Royal Caribbean’s private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay. The burst pipe set water raining down from the ceiling onto the Forward Deck 10 flooded. The outflow was stopped and the leak fixed by the crew. The water was cleaned up the same night and the passengers whose rooms were impacted were moved. None of the affected passengers experienced loss or damage from the water leak.

The search for a 66-year-old female passenger who fell overboard from the 'Allure of the Seas' was called off by the Royal Bahamas Defense Force after 15 hours of searching. The passenger fell ver boarx on the night of Oct 22, 2024, around 17 miles off of Nassau in the Bahamas during a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas that departed on Oct 21. The search for the passenger began as soon as the report of her falling overboard was made, at around 9:40 PM on October 22. The ship quickly turned around and beganthe search. The Royal Bahamas Defense Force and the US Coast Guard were promptly alerted for help.
