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

Natural selection and anarchy can work together. Who knew?

With a the W-L record the past couple of seasons, It's almost like Matt Cassel has been the QB for carnival.
If crap has been running down the walls for a few days, it's kind of making me wonder if Pioli is their new GM too. |

It basically is. I've been on 3 cruises with Carnival and they've gotten prorgressively worse, although I've had plenty of fun on all of them. It's more of the party cruise line and is usually the cheaper one to go on. Going as a single guy on the cruises has been a blast. The other cruise lines are a little more family oriented than Carnival.

Get your hotel room cleaned twice a day, the hotel is mobile and takes you to all these cool places.

I've heard the exact opposite.

First cruise was Disney Dream October 2011. About twice as expensive as the same amount of time staying at the Contemporary Resort at WDW for the same amount of time but I found I couldn't relax after doing the lifeboat math. 16 lifeboats holding 150 people each (2400) for a vessel carrying 4000+. This probably goes without saying that its a risk you take but that thought in the back of my mind the whole time was unsettling. Even though I'm a private pilot and an aerospace engineer I still get antsy on commercial airliners - maybe I know too much about the industry.

I'd have no issues pushing the old ladies and kids out of the way to get to safety. I saw how George did it, I got the template.

Carnival is now giving another $500 per guest. We'll know why in a few hours.

Maybe there are a lot fewer survivors than they were budgeting for.
