There was no effect on the vessel’s route. The largest cruise ship in the world, Icon, set out on a week-long Western Caribbean trip on Saturday from Miami, Florida, according to CruiseMapper. On Wednesday, the ship is expected to dock in Cozumel.
The information was released following the second fire aboard the Carnival Freedom ship owned by Carnival Cruise Line that happened in its exhaust funnel in March 2017 less than two years.
