I know my wife and her friends are resourceful, but can't wait for that phone call tomorrow afternoon or a bit sooner depending on when they get cell coverage again.

Probably, and I'm curious... I'm sure the will be plenty of pictures the minute everyone makes it home. People create so much drama with this kind of stuff, my initial reaction is to pull it back and think it's not so bad. Outside of the stories about human waste disposal, it really doesn't seem that bad. Sure, the vacation was pretty much ruined and they should be refunded for it, but I think most people should be able to survive without hot water or hot food for a few days. Not to say it isn't nerve-racking for those on the ship and their families as far as safety concerns, but outside of sewage running down the walls, the 'oh noes, we're in hell without any hot water and are force to cold food' seems like a bit much (but, what do I know ).
