Chiefs Carnival Cruise Ship Stranded For 3rd Day - Sewage "Running Down The Walls" - Page 18

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

These guys think the folks on the ship should shut up.

If they had been towed to Mexico, passengers would have been off the boat two days earlier.
3rd fire in two years on Carnival ships.
Triumph was seized by federal marshalls and impounded last year because of issues with safety. Carnival paid $10 million bail and promised to make safety changes.

Monty, your gonna make some money.

Yeah, I saw this same report. Actually, Sheila will make the money, but I will coerce her to share with me. We wil see how it works out.

When you sign up to be a Marine/Army/etc you have at least a good guess it will be less than enjoyable.

We're talking about tender-foots here expecting to be pampered and having to go survivalist.

But yeah, it's ****ing sad knowing that 95% of people go complete bastard-ape$#it-crazy once you remove running water and electricity...

Yup. And every once in a while things go badly. So chalk it up to bad luck, take your refund, and move on....

And I don't think anybody with a lawyer is a tender-foot. Once they go there, they're a full-on Pro and every part of their life is an open book.

You're right, these guys seemingly have plenty of running water.

So now we're comparing trained young soldiers in a war zone to elderly people and kids who never considered that their fun cruise could turn into a nightmare? LOL. This place never ceases to amuse.

I would rather be with those guys than on a floating toilet in a toilet bowl.
