“Carnival Cruises are notorious for attracting the worst white trash around. This is also isn’t the first time this has happened.”
And Carnival isn’ alone! Just ask yourself why you would ever “sail” on a ship that was registered in LIberia or Panama? It’s to get around the cost of US crews and more importantly, US inspections. Personally I wouldn’t take a cruise on any of them. They are accidents waiting to happen! When the $hit hits the fan, they become floating ghettos.
Agreed. Have been on many cruises and the food and conditions just keep getting worse.
The last cruise I contracted norovirus and was in my stateroom for four days straight until it went away. Nothing like paying to get sick!
Which, of course, are geared towards union labor and overweening government nanniness which drive up the costs to the point that most of these people wouldn't be taking a cruise. There's a reason there aren't any lines with American-crewed ships.
There are some good ones, though. Holland-America and Cunard aren't bad, for example.
I remember my sister's first cruise in the eighties. She was so looking forward to it. It was Carnival. She's a foodie -- described it as a giant Shoney's with an ocean view.
