Brawls, human waste, and free booze: the Carnival cruise from hell continues
Earlier this week we learned about the unfortunate conditions facing passengers and crew on board the Carnival Triumph cruise ship stranded in the Gulf of Mexico. Now, reports indicate that some passengers have fallen ill from the smell of human exrement.
Passengers on board the stranded Carnival cruise ship are reaching breaking point as condition become so hellish that they are forced to go to the bathroom in plastic baggies while many are becoming physically sick due to the stench of human waste.
Food supplies are reportedly so low that people are eating cold onion sandwiches. One passenger's husband says that people have started fighting over rations.
Brent Nutt, whose wife Bethany is on board, claimed that brawling has broken out among hungry passengers because food is so scarce.
The crew has reportedly started to dole out free booze to the passengers.
Rob Mowlam told his father the ship's crew had started giving free alcohol to passengers.
"He was concerned about what that was going to lead to when people start drinking too much," Mowlam said.
Some passengers made final calls to friends and family as their phones were about to run out of power. They don't have a way to charge them. The ship is expected to be towed to Mobile, Alabama sometime on Thursday, but it appears that things are detiorating quickly on board Carnival's Triumph. [Daily Mail]
This wouldn't even be a news story if the ship was tied to a dock in South Philly. It would be an 'event'.— xxx- Hmm, Titanic too? Leonardo pooping in a bag sounds like a solid plot line.— bobcitydoc
- Free booze, sign me up!! Come on people, you will be in port in a day or two, most of you are probably overweight, so a little less food than normal isn't going to kill you.— dcn
- Wow! People fighting over food when they know they will be on land in a couple days?? What would happen if this were a true apocalypic event?? We are all doomed!— flex
- Who goes on a cruise? Well, "newlyweds, over-feds and almost deads." hahahahhahah— Frankie2
what has the coast guard been doing since the engine exploded on sunday?— hannibal barca
How about a snickers delivery by helicopter? Sheesh.— jp8899- who asks rhetorical questions such as 'who goes on a cruise'? The mentally challenged, that's who!— hvitoloco
- ...and THAT'S why you gotta be stone cold brain dead to go on one of these "cruises". One couple I know had to be flown back to land when hubby got sick. Price tag? $28,000 for the Lear Jet trip...— The Monk
- How in the name of physics does a Lear jet land on or take off from a cruise ship? I call shenanigans. — le sigh
- Free booze is tempting...the Tonner can't see how that could lead to anything bad happening. Usually people are well-behaved when they can drink until they get their fill.
- I don't see why the cruise line can't send out a ship to pick up these people and bring them home. Alternatively, they could deliver adequate food and Port-a-Potties. Why aren't they doing something???— BarbaraM
- Just returned from a beautiful week of relaxation in the Caribbean, on board Celebrity Silhouette. The ambiance was on par with any luxury hotel in the city, and the service was better. The food was fantastic (I am a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, so I am a better judge than most. We enjoyed fine wines, and good entertainment. Price tag for 2 people $2,250.00. No better deal on earth.
As with everything else you have to be a good consumer. Carnival sucks.— meatman2
