Questa volta non è la Costa Crociere bensì una nave, la Azamara Quest, della compagnia americana Royal Caribbean International. Una nave con 600 passeggeri e 400 persone di equipaggio è alla deriva al largo delle coste filippine dopo che a bordo si è sviluppato un incendio che ha messo fuori uso i motori.
Secondo quanto riferisce la compagnia, 5 persone sarebbero rimaste intossicate dai fumi. Un solo membro dell'equipaggio sembra però seriamente ferito.
