Please pray for the victims of Carnival cruises who had to endure days of discomfort. LOL

Funny thing is that a good many of the people getting off the boat didn’t seem nearly as upset as the mediots.

My wife and I probably watched more CNN last night than in the previous 5 years combined, because we go on cruises and wanted to see the ship coming in.

Erin Burnett kept trying to sell the premise that none of these problems would have happened if Carnival used highly paid unionized US employees instead of those dirt cheap foreigners.

It is not my idea of fun to hang out on a floating apartment complex. As big a con job to me as an amusement park and their hour long lines

Commercial fun is not all it’s made out to be...IMHO only of course

Same here. I'm happy camping with no plans to do anything but what I feel like doing when I feel like doing it.

The only cruises that interest me are great lakes cruises which largely cater to elderly people but elderly people are more interesting anyway.

Thank you.

That word "elderly" is so subjective isn't it? When I was 40, I thought 60 was elderly, now that I'm 67.....and a half, not so much.

I completely agree, I went on a cruise with my dad and my daughter and it was fine, but I couldn’t get over the creepy feeling of all those people in that one little spot on the ocean...........I won’t ever go again.

Except, if you were doing Europe, you wouldn’t ever have to unpack.

[cripplecreek]

Well I’m nearly 50 so 80 is a good place to settle on elderly.

Last time I was in the upper peninsula we ended up next to a couple in their 70s in the campground. It was one of those good weeks with great company. The guy was a rebel and a rulebreaker. His dogs couldn’t be off the leash in the campground so he had one of his dalmatians trained to walk the other on a leash.

Some of those passengers carried on as if they survived the Titanic. Yes, conditions were bad, but you have to learn to deal with them. Obama has made it so people always expect someone or something to be blamed and to compensate them if things go wrong.

Wait till expanded preschool. Kids who survive that plus 12 more years of public education won't be able to tie their shoes without government help.

For a person living in Haiti, they would have thought they died and went to Heaven.

Count on the lamestream media to hit the wrong target.

Still, I wonder why the cruise lines are having so much trouble. What changed?

I've wondered why the cruise lines are having so much trouble these last few years. Sabotage? Deliberate malfeasance against the industry?

The media. They have to perpetrate the argument that those big greedy corporations are evil. A story like this serves the agenda

[fatnotlazy]

Truth!

I saw that with the CNN feed. It looked like a normal disembarkation. Of course the cameraman zoomed in on every wheel chair going to the ship. LOL. These people have probably never been on a cruise. Of course every elderly person in a wheel chair got their seconds of fame as they were being wheeled out to customs.

They finally gave up when they realized that no body bags were coming out. Of course that did not stop them from panning back with the camera to show a porta potty in the foreground of Carnival Triumph.

The rest of the world was reporting on the meteoroid and meteorite, but CNN in it's infinite wisdom reported on hemorrhoids.

[cripplecreek]

Things could be a whole lot worse. Most of the people say the staff were great.

There was one off the coast of South Africa a few years ago and when the boat started to sink, most of the staff took the lifeboats and left. And obviously there’s the recent case in the Mediterranean.

[cripplecreek]

We’re receiving sporadic reports of cannibalism. /s

[Secret Agent Man]

on this cruise, “port-a-potty” meant pooping off the port side of the ship.

and don’t get me started about the “poop deck”, which basically was every deck of the ship.
