Chiefs Carnival Cruise Ship Stranded For 3rd Day - Sewage "Running Down The Walls" - Page 3

houstonwhodat · 02-12-2013, 01:12 PM

Ever been on a cruise ship?

I haven't and this is one of the reasons why.

I'm sure people have had good times, but to me, you are a prisoner to the ship once you leave shore.

"Foul conditions aboard stranded Carnival cruise ship Triumph: Passengers describe 'sewage running down the walls' and people acting like 'savages'

Since a fire broke out in an engine room Sunday morning, the Carnival Triumph has been drifting off the coast of Mexico. A total of 3,143 passengers and 1,086 crew have been forced to make do with cold food, no hot water, sweltering indoor temperatures, and few working toilets. A tow boat is expected Thursday, after an initial plan to tow the ship to a port in Mexico was scrapped."

No Lights, No Water

Then I hope we get stranded.

Something tells me the "nekkid bitches" would not be hoping for the same thing.

Yeah, we haven't heard much at all and while I have enjoyed the light hearted banter in this thread, the situation is a bit worse than reported. My main concern was dumping the people off in Progreso to catch a flight back to the states. If any of you have been there, you know that personal safety is not guaranteed, even in numbers. My wife was supposed to be back yesterday and while I could make a few hookers and blow jokes, I am geniunely concerned only because we haven't heard anything other than a few text messages.

now the cruise ship is broken in need of a wrecker

The bathrooms not working too well any more
and we sit in our economy cabin, the temp 104
The food is all gone the water dried up
now our stunning vacation turned into 2 girls and 1 cup.

The nude deck disgusting, legs getting hairy
duck dynasty bearded bikini lines scary
Our cell phones are dead, no outgoing calls
At least there is bean dip that runs down the walls?

Always the optimist, the good I will find
to see positive news, even when in a bind.
Should a jelly fish sting ruin our bliss
At least there's no shortage, of medicinal piss.

We could be on a beach in Hawaii
where we tent camp and rough it
but now our cruise ship has turned into
4000 people, 1 bucket.

5 days of romance without showers,
now your cooter is rotten.
This trip....your idea
that won't be forgotten.

Count on it. There are eight of them there together, all without their husbands.

On second thought, maybe they won't be sharing any stories at all. ;-)

I think I'd skip the part where they have to pee/poop in the bag and then hand it over to the steward.

Man I hope your wife comes out OK.

This is ****ed up for everyone involved.

What is Carnival tell ya'll and how or they going to make up for this nightmare?

If they give you a voucher would you use it or cash it in?

I guess it's true the only real reason to go on a cruise if to get your stalker on.
