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."

HOUSTON — Carnival Cruise Lines says it is cancelling another 12 voyages for the disabled ship that is being towed to Alabama after an engine room fire left it powerless at sea.
The cruises aboard the Triumph were to take place from Feb. 21 through April 13. Those cancellations are in addition to two other cruises that were called off shortly after Sunday's fire. The company says passengers will be fully refunded and get discounts on future cruises. There are more than 4,000 people aboard the ship, which is expected to be towed into Mobile on Thursday. The Triumph has had other mechanical problems recently that delayed a voyage in late January. Passengers aboard the disabled vessel have reported dismal conditions. Carnival has disputed those claims. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/02/13...#storylink=cpy

You never see the raw sewage running down the walls in any of the commercials with Kathy Lee Gifford....
And "Here's your money back and a discount on your next cruise." Really? There's going to be a next time???? |

Just in case you hadn't seen it yet Monty; The director of the Alabama Cruise Terminal said she'd been given a timeframe of 1-4 Thursday for the ship to arrive.

My years in the Navy pretty much cured me of ever wanting to set foot on another ship, but instance after instances of epic cruise line fail really cements it.
