As somebody who's worked in bars for 7 years, the absolute worst thing they could've done is NOT do an open bar when those traumatized who paid the original open bar ticket price are taking drinks all day for free and the other passengers with no drinks are trying not to jump overboard. A food fight from an open bar is probably the best case scenario. I could easily see people getting jumped for their open bar wristbands had they not done it.

Obviously it's not the trip you paid for but it was just a few days with some discomfort, nothing that should mentally scar you, especially since it was only for very few days and the passengers knew the main land was informed about their situation and ready to rescue passengers should there be the need (like f.e. with the dialysis woman).

If they do stop and get off the ship, they're ushered around expensive tourist traps and then ushered back on board. If travelers weren't lazy and unimaginative there'd be no market for cruises.

May I ask though why passengers weren't transferred off of Triumph and onto the other three vessels as they came within sufficient proximity to use launches or deploy lifeboats? 🤔 I could understand loss of _amenity_ power on it's own is a mere inconvenience...But when you lose power to _sanitation_ systems to the effect passengers are having to be asked to use more „traditional“ 🇬🇧 methods, that's the point where any opportunity to transfer passengers to other ships ought to be taken. ⛵ Also: Removing 3140 passengers and 1050 staff would have lightened the ship by about 466 metric tons, which would have expedited its tow to Mobile AL and saved a lot of broken lines on the side. 👍

YOU try facing death at sea and the very real fear of watching your children drown then come back and tell me how much you appreciated the CEO and crew for how they "handled" the entire situation! It was a BAD experience that will HAUNT my life until the day I die. I'm a tough, old, 70 year-old broad but there are some things you can never forget or forgive. I have a deep suspicion that that fire may have been caused by neglect rather than an accident. Seems to me, if that could be proven then ALL contracts, including the tickets for that cruise, become null and void. Of course, you can't fight big money so no lawsuit could result in the truth. They DID owe the passengers regardless of what the contract said. I will NEVER forgive Carnival for what happened!

My cabin on Carnival had a lot of flaws and seemed a bit run down while RC’s felt slightly better. The food on Carnival was lackluster and was just average at best, RC’s despite being slightly more expensive was probably dealing with its lowest being an average. Activities onboard where completely different, Carnival was more of a family outing ship while RC despite opening up to the family still had that grown up experience from the previous century.

It really comes down to the fact that transferring between vessels at sea is dangerous and done only in case of a full emergency.

While crappy (hah!) and uncomfortable, keeping them aboard was less risky than an evacuation in open water.

Whenever cruise liner staff tells you, that "everything is under control", grab your first-aid kit and pump up your life-vest.

[@Caroline-rv8wy]

Not necessarily - there are minor incidents fairly often and they generally are under control in a very short time. Plus it's super important to listen to the crew, who have trained extensively for emergency situations. But people should definitely be vigilant and not blindly follow instruction that clearly puts them in danger.

[@perrybb2]

@@Caroline-rv8wy I've heard the stories where the crew has told the passengers to remain in their cabin while the ship is sinking (that one Korean ferry) and they died. No way that's gonna be me.

[@Caroline-rv8wy]

@@perrybb2 I know it's happened, I'm just saying generally speaking there are a lot of minor incidents on cruise ships that are easily handled. It's super important to pay attention to safety briefings and where your muster station is, but when you hear the initial announcements you just have to be vigilant and prepared to move if you need to, until you hopefully hear the stand down - I remember one where the Captain came on the loudspeaker afterward and said ''everything's fine now, some idiot put tennis shoes in the dryer.'' 😅 But like I said, you also need to use common sense and don't just follow blindly even if you're seeing something that goes directly against what you're being told.

I forget if they were delayed entry, but they were allowed to dock in Japan. It looks harsh, but given the totality of circumstances, primarily the limited idea as to what the hell exactly was going on, it wasn't the worst call. Not ideal but not overtly evil as well.

Nah, there's just shy of a million reasons I'll never go willingly... I was dumb enough to sign up for the Navy out of high school... and I learned quite a lot (I didn't want to know) about ships and shipboard life... EVERYTHING is worse at sea. You're hundreds of miles from land, anything or anyone to help you, and stuck in a tin-can sharing air with God only knows who or from where... If you've even been to College or Summer Camp, you know what happens when you bring a bunch of people from thousands of miles apart together on the same ground, and those are with plenty of open spaces and air... Now, seal all that up with a half-assed ventilation system that was built by the LOWEST possible bidder. Saline is a solution used in medical facilities to keep humans alive, which is to say, it's NOT harmful to any life. It's the perfect medium for delivery of just about everything... just add whatever to a saline drip, and you can put it directly inside a body... no harm. Now, take into account that the salt water of the sea gets turned directly into mist to add to humidity... and you've got saline free-flowing everywhere and completely compatible with all living things, including algae, fungi, and all manners of microbes from bacteria to virus... ALL settling and swirling through the "ventilated tin-can" in the middle of nowhere squared. Yeah... THOSE are just some of the basic foundation of why I will never in hell willingly go on a cruise if I can possibly avoid it... AND I've BEEN both dry caving AND cave diving in my life. I have no problems with either of those "extreme activities"... I ride a motorcycle... I track down and wrangle reptiles, specializing in snakes mostly... I'm no stranger to "calculated risk assessment". People are WEIRD creatures. ;o)
