Cause of fire onboard Grandeur of the Seas still Unknown

The cause of the fire that damaged several decks of a Royal Caribbean ship two months ago is still unknown, despite the long process of investigation.

Based on the investigation, all chances that a mechanical failure may have caused the fire are now eliminated.

For all readers not familiar with the incident, the fire started in a mooring area near the back of the ship where ropes are stored. The ship was in total control of the situation during the incident and managed to reach Freeport, Bahamas, about seven hours after the fire started.

Immediately after the incident, the famous Cruise Lines had passengers taken to their homes. 
Furthermore, passengers were also promised and given a full refund for the sailing as well as a voucher good for 25% off a future sailing.

Royal Caribbean's ship, the prestigious Grandeur of the Seas, appears pretty much as good as new, while works for repair are still in process. Of course, several changes have been made especially to the area the fire started.

It's estimated that by July 19th all works will come to an end allowing the ship to go back to sailing.
