Anyone for a cruise?

I think Carnival will be offering discounts soon. On Monday, a passenger told ABC News by text message that cabin toilets were overflowing and the carpets were wet with water and urine.
Other passengers reported no air-conditioning inside cabins and an increasing stink inside the ship from sick passengers and a lack of food refrigeration.
Brent Nutt told the Associated Press that while those on board were being fed, his wife, a passenger, told him the vessel was becoming increasingly dirty.
"There's water and faeces all over the floor,'' he said.
"It's not the best conditions. You would think Carnival would have something in place to get these people off the ship.''

At least that ship isn't on its side near Italy.....
Or maybe that would be better?

Whenever I see "feces" in an article, it reminds me of Donnie Darko where the school gets flooded and one girl asks her friend "What's feces?" to which the first girl responds, "Baby mice." Awww!!

I have no idea why anyone would want to go on a cruise...if you want the experience, just go to Shoney's or Denny's around breakfast time on social security day...you'll have the same experience of waiting in line for food behind a bunch of old, retired people...and save a ton of money

I have to agree with Happy, I did it once, and will never again... too many people. It gives me a chance to wear my tux

I have enjoyed the cruises that I have been on, but I probably prefer just going to the beach. You can surf or swim or go into the jungle and hike, look at ruins, poop where you want, etc.

Taking a cruise in a few months on that ship!!! I hope they have de-pooped the deck and have all their problems solved by then.
A friend came back from a cruise on this ship 2 weeks ago and they were having problems then with the propulsion.

On Wednesday, Carnival Cruise Lines decided to cancel 12 more trips for the Triumph. The four-and five-day cruises from Galveston will be canceled between Feb. 21 and April 13. Carnival had previously canceled the next two trips departing on Feb. 11 and Feb. 16 after the ship's propulsion was knocked out Sunday morning. Those guests who had planned trips will receive a full refund of their cruise fare, as well as non-refundable transportation costs, pre-paid shore excursions, gratuities and government fees and taxes. Guest will also receive a 25 percent discount on a future three-to-five-day Carnival cruise or a 15 percent discount on a six-to-seven-day cruise. http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/...led-4275429.phpIt's going to be quite a long cleanup job.

In other news, the ship will be renamed "Triumh". (Notice there is no "P" in it?)

slated to dock today...those wanting to leave today will be bussed in "luxury motor coaches" to New Orleans for a night on the town and on to Galveston tomorrow. Those staying until tomorrow in Mobile will be flown home.
I think i'd rather just rent a car and drive myself or fly out tonight on my own nickel and have them reimburse me...

I would never go on a cruise with that many people. How much time would you spend standing in lines? Not my idea of a good time.
