No **** that.

This is America.

I would definitely look into suing for lost wages, emotional distress, sexual harassment, attempted rape, robbery, etc, etc, etc.

You can bet someone is.

You just don't want a class action.

As many problems as Carnival has been having with boats burning, breaking down or rolling over, taking one of their cruises sounds like about as good of an idea as having uncle Sandusky watch your kids for the weekend.

Yep, what I do want is a: "settled out of court for an undisclosed amount". This is assuming that she arrives safely.

While my wife was packing for the trip, she kept saying that she really liked going on cruises and that she should do it more often. It will be interesting to hear her opinion now. ROFL

It still sucks not being able communicate though.

Have you tried using semaphore flags to communicate?

It's probably not fun now, but she's going to have a great story later about how she was once adrift at sea. She won't have to tell people that it was on a cruise ship.

I would be looking for a Personal Injury lawyer right now and I'm not joking.

I had someone bump me in bumper to bumper traffic a few years ago. Maybe doing 1 mph or less.

I had an eye witness that saw this guy do it on purpose. I think the traffic was getting to him.

I went the neck doctor and claimed soft tissue damage which they can't prove or disprove.

The insurance company settled for 120K, 1/3 went to the lawyer.

Make sure you get a lawyer that will do it on a contingency basis, no money out of pocket.

You already have a cause of action.

Karma says next time you will be hit at more like 51 mph.

1 mph is all it takes.

(10:30 a.m. EST) -- Carnival Cruise Lines CEO and president Gerry Cahill said Tuesday conditions aboard Carnival Triumph, which suffered an engine room fire Sunday morning, are very challenging. But he insisted there are working toilets, playing down the image playing out in the national media of sewage running down the walls.
"No one here from Carnival is happy about the conditions aboard ship… there is no question that conditions onboard are very challenging. Most of the public bathrooms, there are 23 public bathrooms, most of them are working," he said during a news conference in Miami. There is also a "good section" of passenger cabins, in the forward and midship sections of the ship, that are working.
His statement contrasts sharply with reports from the national media, as well comments from Cruise Critic members, that there are no toilets or running water and that there is human waste everywhere.
LynnA last heard from her daughter-in-law Tuesday morning via text. "[Feces] and [urine] rolling across floor with every wave. People sick and throwing up every where," she texted.
First-hand accounts in news outlets paint a similar picture.
Jimmy Mowlam told the Miami Herald his 37-year-old son phoned him Monday night to say there is no running water and few working toilets. Passengers, he said, are being given plastic bags for when they need to go to the bathroom.
Carnival maintains there is running water, albeit cold, on the ship, so passengers can wash their hands and take showers.
Carnival Triumph is on its way Mobile, Alabama, under the power of two tugboats towing the ship at approximately 8 miles per hour. The ship is expected to arrive in Mobile late Thursday afternoon, where passengers can either spend the night in a hotel in Mobile or New Orleans or be bused back to Texas immediately.
More than 1,500 hotels rooms in Mobile and New Orleans have been booked and 10 charter flights have been secured to fly passengers to Houston on Friday. For passengers with cars at the port of Galveston, buses have been arranged to bring them back.
Carnival is in the process of securing buses for a Thursday evening transfer from Mobile to Houston or Galveston for passengers who would rather get home sooner, Cahill said.
In the meantime, the line insists there is no shortage of food, with meals being served in the Lido dining area and at the grill in the poolside restaurant.
A fire left the ship adrift in the Gulf of Mexico with no power Sunday, February 10. No one was injuried from the fire, which the line says was contained by the ship's automatic extinguishing system.
A timeline for repairs to Triumph will be announced once the ship is in port and has undergone inspection, according to the line. Damage suffered by Carnival Splendor from an engine room fire in 2010 kept the ship out of service for more than three months.
Yesterday, the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board launched an investigation into the cause of the fire. The Bahamas Maritime Authority will be the lead investigative agency, as Carnival Triumph is a Bahamian-flagged ship.
