A cruise ship experienced an emergency scare off the coast of Greece this past weekend — requiring help from Greek authorities, according to the local coast guard.

One passenger took to Reddit to describe a chaotic scene aboard the Celebrity Infinity cruise ship on Sunday, Feb. 15. “Lost power off the coast of Piraeus (Athens) at 3 a.m.,” the Reddit user wrote.

“Saw multiple tugboats coming over. No air con (rooms are super stuffy), no lights, no running water, no flushing toilets, no hot water/coffee, no elevators,” the person continued on social media.

“No ETA on fix. Heard ‘bravo, bravo, bravo’ over the announcements.”

“Bravo, Bravo, Bravo” (or “Code Bravo”) is a common emergency code used on cruise ships to signal a fire or another serious emergency.

The Hellenic Coast Guard’s Joint Search and Rescue Coordination Center told Port Authorities of Piraeus and Keratsini about “the loss of control of a cruise ship … due to a malfunction in the electrical distribution panels, in the sea area outside the port of Piraeus,” according to a translated press release.

Four tugboats helped the Infinity arrive safely at the port.

“It’s been an interesting 24 hours. About 2:40 a.m. [the] night before last, I woke to a sound that sounded like an electrical transformer blowing. Sure enough, the ship lost power,” a passenger wrote on an Instagram account known as ttalkscruising. 

“No lights, no running water, no flushing toilets.”

“We were very close to porting in Athens, Greece, so the tugs just pushed/pulled us in,” the passenger continued. 

“At first, they made leaving the ship optional, but by noon they were telling everybody they must exit the ship and find a hotel room.”
