A fire broke out this week on Royal Caribbean International’s Icon of the Seas, billed as the world’s largest cruise ship, and also experienced a brief loss of power, according to reports. The Royal Caribbean Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but a company spokesperson confirmed the incident to USA Today, who said the fire happened on Tuesday while the ship was docked in Costa Maya – a tourist region in Southeast Mexico.
The ship has 18 passenger decks with 20 decks in total and eight "neighborhoods" for guests to enjoy. It has the capacity for 2,350 crew members and 5,610 guests with its 2,805 state rooms at double occupancy, according to Royal Caribbean. The ship offers 28 room categories that range from standard rooms to suites and new layouts for families of three, four, five, six and more, the company said.
