BAD HAIR DAY FOR CRUISE SHIP SWIMMERS
By Victoria Ward, PA News
Unlucky cruise passengers who took a dip in a ship's luxury pool had their hair turned bright green, it emerged today.
Chlorine in the water on the P&O cruise ship Oceana dyed the hair of nine passengers when they went for a swim.
The on-board hairdressing staff had to work to change their hair colour back to normal before the ship docked at Southampton today.
A spokeswoman for P&O Cruises confirmed that the incident had happened and that as a ``gesture of goodwill'' the passengers had been referred to the ship's beauty salon for corrective treatment.
``We checked all of the chemical levels at the time and they all fell into acceptable levels,'' she said.
``We are looking into it but initial tests proved that the levels were OK.''
The swimmers were men and women, all with either very fair or dyed hair, shesaid.
The pool was emptied and refilled as a precautionary measure.
There were 2,000 passengers on board the Oceana during the 10-day cruisearound Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands.
As well as the swimming pool incident, 95 passengers were struck by a mildgastro-intestinal illness during the voyage.
The spokeswoman said that an investigation was under way to establish the cause of the illness although the symptoms were short-lived.
``Everyone fully recovered,'' she said. ``And really both were very mild complaints affecting relatively small numbers of passengers.
``But we do take any incident like this very seriously.''
