Will cruise ship lines ban the Samsung note 7 smartphone? Seeing as it can easily catch fire if being charged it would be a serious hazard.?
Maybe it could be the result of being manufactured in different countries, I don't know if that is the case!
CONSIDERING EVEN THE NEW REPLACEMENT PHONES ARE CATCHING FIRE IN USE, MAYBE THEY SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED.

They are being recalled globally now. The airlines in Australia will not permit them aboard any aircraft now.

Doubtful. Asking people to give up their cellphones is just not something that airlines and cruise lines are in the habit of doing. Also, we are talking about a very small number of people that this would cause a problem for. Samsung is recalling 2.5 million units which is a tiny percentage of the number of cellphones around the world. And then an even smaller percentage of owners will be on an airplane or cruise ship before the recall process is complete. It is just such a small number of people for airlines and cruise lines to be concerned with. You could probably safely assume that less than 1000 Note 7 owners will take flights or cruises before their phones are replaced.
