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."

Yeah, we haven't heard much at all and while I have enjoyed the light hearted banter in this thread, the situation is a bit worse than reported. My main concern was dumping the people off in Progreso to catch a flight back to the states. If any of you have been there, you know that personal safety is not guaranteed, even in numbers. My wife was supposed to be back yesterday and while I could make a few hookers and blow jokes, I am geniunely concerned only because we haven't heard anything other than a few text messages.

On second thought, maybe they won't be sharing any stories at all. ;-) |

I guess it's true the only real reason to go on a cruise if to get your stalker on.
