"Carnival Freedom: A History of Fires at Sea"

The Carnival Freedom cruise ship experienced its second fire in less than two years, with footage showing flames and smoke coming from the ship's exhaust funnel. The incident occurred while the ship was 20 miles off Eleuthera Island, Bahamas, heading to Freeport after a canceled call to Princess Cay due to weather. Despite concerns from passengers, Carnival Cruise Line stated that they do not expect any impact on the next Carnival Freedom voyage and confirmed that there are no operational issues with the ship’s systems.
